Reseña del editor:

A doctrine of intelligent design through evolution is not going to find many friends. Scientists, the backbone of evolution, will have little patience for intelligent design. The religious, many of who support intelligent design, have their doubts about evolution. In the general public’s mind there is a diametrical opposition between evolution and intelligent design: one excludes the other. This book will argue that this view of the matter is not correct, and that in actuality one can regard evolution itself as a pathway to intelligent design. We would do well to go beyond The Origin of Species and acknowledge that evolutionary adaptation can result in solutions of a sort that intelligence could ratify. Accordingly, this book seeks a naturalization of intelligent design that sees such design as itself the result of natural and evolutionary processes.
