Now, this work, by award-winning Canadian science writer/journalist Denyse O’Leary, clearly presents all of the key material from the leading scientists and writers in all camps of the debate, and organizes it in a simple but comprehensive presentation. O’Leary distills thousands of pages of the most recent findings and discussions on the subject from the fields of science, biology, and theology, and introduces us to the history, motives, and personalities behind the dispute.
What the experts are saying
about By Design or by Chance? The Growing Controversy on the Origins of Life in the Universe: This well-organized guidebook of O’Leary’s journey through the world of Intelligent
Design has the potential to lead many of the next generation away from the
evolutionary fables that now pass for science. Her book is must reading for
anyone who wants to understand the history and significance of the Intelligent
Design movement. It also belongs in college and even high school classrooms.” “Denyse O’Leary provides a magnificent introduction to the people and issues involved
in the greatest intellectual controversy of our time.” “In a world where miracles are not supposed to happen, By Design or by Chance? may represent the impossible: a clearly
written, thoroughly researched book that avoids the arm-waving, bluster and
politics of the most controversial question in science -Where did we come
from?” “The conflict between Darwinian evolution and intelligent design is rapidly growing
into a major scientific and cultural upheaval. The issues are complex and the
disagreements are often heated, but Denyse O'Leary writes about them in a way
that is clear, even-handed, and entertaining. Anyone who wants to get up to speed on this history-making controversy
should read her book.” “Are life, consciousness, and values merely by-products of blind purposeless
material forces operating in cosmic history? Or are these the result of a
master intelligence intrinsic to reality? Denyse O’Leary helps the
nonspecialist reader to weigh this momentous option and come to the right
conclusion.” About Denyse O'Leary By Design or by Chance? is available at most
