Resumen del Editor

Why do men's testicles hang outside the body? Why does our appendix sometimes explode and kill us? And who does the Designer like better, anyway--us or squid? These and other questions are addressed in The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not.

Dr. Abby Hafer argues that the human body has many faulty design features that would never have been the choice of an intelligent creator.

She also points out that there are other animals that got better body parts, which makes the Designer look a bit strange; discusses the history and politics of Intelligent Design and creationism; reveals animals that shouldn't exist according to Intelligent Design; and disposes of the idea of irreducible complexity.

Her points are illustrated with wit and erudition.

Dr. Abby Hafer has a doctorate in zoology from Oxford University. She is a Senior Lecturer who teaches human anatomy and physiology at Curry College.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"For an adequate account of the world, we must take a sober look at life as it really is. Hafer shows that things are a whole lot messier and makeshift than what some intelligent design theories would incline us to believe. This book has the potential not only to alter the political terrain in wars over evolution and creationism but also to prompt believers like me to rethink how we should talk about God as Creator." --Thomas Jay Oord, author of Divine Grace and Emerging Creation

"The Not-So-Intelligent Designer is a much-needed work in an America where anti-intellectualism is rampant and, shockingly, even candidates for high office frequently reject evolution. Abby Hafer has that rare ability to communicate complex scientific ideas in understandable terms for non-scientists, and this book is sure to enlighten many." --David Niose, author of Fighting Back the Right

For Anyone who grew up like me

Excellent discussion, easy to listen to and enjoyable. All the details on Intelligent Design were helpful. My only complaint and not worthy of any less stars, but Abby clearly has a bias against ID and Creationism. While she’s right that these belief systems have no merit in Science, proving them wrong doesn’t automatically mean there isn’t a higher power or an intelligent designer. Evolution is an amazing system, exciting that natural processes can make us. And, we hope make things all across this universe. If we are honest, there are many things we still can’t explain (look at the Quantum World), and we clearly aren’t in a binary world anymore. Even though ID and Creationists have such fault ideas shouldn’t assume that there wasn’t an intelligent design.
