Dr. William Dembski is a well-known intelligent design theorist who will soon have a joint appointment with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Boyce College, both located in Louisville, Kentucky. In his new book Uncommon Dissent: Intellectuals Who Find Darwinism Unconvincing, Dembski presents the works of 14 leading philosophers and scientists who challenge the notion that purposeless natural forces are responsible for biological complexity and diversity.
Dembski argues the materialistic approach to evolution and biology is inadequate. Dembski says if one accepts a blind evolutionary point of view, it is hard to square with any coherent form of theism. "People who believe in God usually think that humanity is the crown of God's creation -- and if you accept a Darwinian, evolutionary point of view, our place in the universe is in no way special or privileged," he says.
The theorist says public school children who, for example, are taught Darwinian evolution as a proven fact are likely to lose their faith in God. Dembski, who is an associate research professor in the conceptual foundations of science at Baylor University, estimates that only one or two percent of biological scientists believe in God."
