Denis Alexander is one of the more prominent theistic evolutionists in the UK. As with many theistic evolutionists there, he is not at all pleased with ID, regarding it as both bad science and bad theology. Some time back he wrote a brief critical review of my book The Design Revolution . He has since expanded his criticisms in a full-length article here. Some ID-friendly colleagues in the UK tell me that they will respond to this piece, and so, since time is limited, I’ll leave it to them to answer Alexander at length. Yet Alexander’s fundamental misconception in that longer paper is readily seen as well in his earlier, shorter critical review of The Design Revolution. For that review and for my response, go here. With regard to that longer piece, because in it Alexander looks to McGrath’s critique of scientism rather than to ID as the proper remedy for atheism, let me also encourage you to look at Claire Berlinski’s critique of McGrath (go here). [And yes, Claire is related to David — she’s his daughter.]
