Abstract
A landmark conference of intelligent design advocates, and some critics, met at Biola College near Los Angeles, California in November, 1996. The Conference was titled "Mere Creation" and this book is one of its results. Contributors to the book include the founders of the "Intelligent Design Movement": William Dembski, Steven Meyer, Jonathan Wells, Paul Nelson, Michael Behe, John Mark Reynolds, and Phillip Johnson. They are joined by an impressive list of scholars for whom "intelligent design" is a key to understanding nature.
