The Design Revolution

The Design Revolution: Answering the Toughest Questions about Intelligent Design is a book written by William A. Dembski in 2004 which supports intelligent design, and the idea that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not a naturalistic process such as natural selection. The book is written in question/answer format from Dembski's point of view as one of the conceptual leaders in the movement. Each chapter is about 4 pages long and addresses one specific question. Dembski credits intelligent design's critics, who constitute the majority of the scientific community and science education organizations, for providing these questions. The foreword was written by Charles W. Colson.

The book begins with a preface polemic where Dembski maintains that the harsh critiques that his work has received to date by the scientific community, which he describes as "dogmatic Darwinists and scientific naturalists," is typical of what previous geniuses and innovators have been subjected to by science orthodoxy. Dembski claims that intelligent design theory will inevitably and soon lead to a revolution in which science will be completely overhauled with intelligent design ideas.
