Abstract
You can judge this book by its cover. If its "science vs. intelligent design" (ID) subtitle does not make the authors' central premise clear enough (that ID is not science), the photo of a human skull facing an orangutan skull reinforces the point. A barely-legible nameplate underneath the orangutan fossil reads Darwin. Whether this was meant to satirize past creationist attacks against the theory of evolution, I cannot say. The skulls were apparently part of the exhibit Fierce Friends: Artists & Animals in the Industrial Era, 1750-1900 hosted by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and subsequently by the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
