Book Reviews of Intelligent Thought: Science versus the Intelligent Design Movement
Book Review: Interesting and sometimes funny
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is a collection of brief essays written by different and eminent scientists belonging to different fields. All of them cooperate to an enjoyable and sharp critic of the creationism, from different point of view, with a substantial irony which is a sort of a leitmotiv for the whole book. This is a three days book where every non-expert can find many fast answers to the aberrant hoax build-up by the creationists during the last decade. And it is also a practical mini-guide for some important (and scientific) views about main questions like intelligence, universe or self-consciousness. Eventually the book with its reliable bibliography is a good starting point to go into the big world of real science. On the other hand it can be just a funny way to spend few hours of our time. Recommended.
