At first glance, you could be forgiven for thinking that this book merely goes over old ground about whether design in the universe points to the existence of God. This would be a mistake. Much of the material does covers well-trodden areas, but The Design Revolution goes much further.
What Dembski refers to as Intelligent Design is unique in that it attempts to build rigorous scientific criteria for identifying objects that cannot have been produced by random chance interacting with the laws of nature. Such objects can only come about therefore as a result of design.
