Bradley Monton: Atheist Argues That Intelligent Design is a Serious Scientific Theory

Apparently, atheist Bradley Monton has just published a book with Broadview Press:

The doctrine of intelligent design is often the subject of acrimonious debate. Seeking God in Science cuts through the rhetoric that distorts the debates between religious and secular camps. Bradley Monton, a philosopher of science and an atheist, carefully considers the arguments for intelligent design and argues that intelligent design deserves serious consideration as a scientific theory.

Monton also gives a lucid account of the debate surrounding the inclusion of intelligent design in public schools and presents reason why students’ science education could benefit from a careful consideration of the arguments for and against it.

I sure hope Monton has tenure. Otherwise, he could end up driving truck for a living. Though he does note on his blog that many atheists are giving his book a positive review and are more and more convinced that ID should in fact be taken seriously as a scientific theory.

Bradley Monton is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
