No Free Lunch: Why Specified Complexity Cannot Be Purchased without Intelligence

Overview

"Darwin's greatest accomplishment was to show that life can be explained as the result of natural selection. But does this mean that life was intended to be? William A. Dembski, exanding on his earlier work, ""The Design Inference"", here defends that life must be the product of intelligent design. The evolutionary algorithms of the No Free Lunch Theory support modern beliefs introduced by Darwin and criticize Dembski's stance in ""The Design Inference"". In ""No Free Lunch"" Dembski addresses and refutes such claims and reveals a ""designer"" capable of originating the complexity and specificity found throughout the cosmos."

Reviews

In No Free Lunch, William Dembski gives the most profound challenge to the Modern Synthetic Theory of Evolution since this theory was first formulated in the 1930s. I differ from Dembski on some points, mainly in ways which strengthen his conclusion.--Frank J. Tipler
