This essay focuses on the ID movement’s principal scientific claim and the rhetorical strategies employed to support it. I have also expressed concern for some of the religious and theological implications of ID’s concept of divine creative action. For examples of this critique, see "Intelligent Design: A Celebration of Gifts Withheld?" published as a chapter in the book, Darwinism Defeated? The Johnson-Lamoureux Debate on Biological Origins, Denis O. Lamoureux, Phillip E. Johnson, et al. (Vancouver: Regent College Publishing, 1999); "Science & Christianity as Partners in Theorizing," published as a chapter in the book, Science & Christianity: Four Views, Richard F. Carlson, ed. (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2000); "The Creation: Intelligently Designed or Optimally Equipped?" published in the journal Theology Today, October, 1998, pp. 344-364; and "Does Intelligent Design Have a Chance?" published in the journal Zygon, Vol 34, No. 4, December, 1999, pp. 667-675.
