Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design

Front Cover
Oxford University Press, 2004 M01 8 - 416 pages
Forrest and Gross expose the scientific failure, the religious essence, and the political ambitions of "intelligent design" creationism. They examine the movement's "Wedge Strategy," which has advanced and is succeeding through public relations rather than through scientific research. Analyzing the content and character of "intelligent design theory," they highlight its threat to public education and to the separation of church and state.
