The design inference uncovers intelligent causes by isolating their
key trademark: specified events of small probability. Just about
anything that happens is highly improbable, but when a highly
improbable event is also specified (i.e. conforms to an
independently given pattern) undirected natural causes lose their
explanatory power. Design inferences can be found in a range of
scientific pursuits from forensic science to research into the
origins of life to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
This challenging and provocative 1998 book shows how incomplete
undirected causes are for science and breathes new life into
classical design arguments. It will be read with particular
interest by philosophers of science and religion, other
philosophers concerned with epistemology and logic, probability and
complexity theorists, and statisticians.
