About the book
Physicist Mark Perakh critically reviews recent trends toward harmonizing religion and science, showing that, however sophisticated in appearance, all such approaches are little more than tailoring evidence to fit the desired theory. Beginning with three top intelligent design theorists, Perakh demonstrates lack of substantiation, internal contradictions, and multiple fallacies that mar their works. In Part Two he critiques the "mental acrobatics" of various writers whose works attempt to prove such unlikely propositions as: the inerrancy of the Bible, the harmony of the Torah and science, the duration of the six days of creation, and deriving a theory of nonrandom evolution from the Talmud. Part Three describes how genuine science is conducted, what the laws of science actually mean to practicing scientists, and what distinguishes real science from pseudoscience.--From publisher description.
