<br/><br/>Introduction --  Overview of the design inference --  Probability theory --  Complexity theory --  Specification --  Small probability. 
<br/><br/> The design inference uncovers intelligent causes by isolating the key trademark of intelligent causes: specified events of small probability. Design inferences can be found in a range of scientific pursuits from forensic science to research into the origins of life to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This challenging and provocative book will be read with particular interest by philosophers of science and religion, other philosophers concerned with epistemology and logic, probability and complexity theorists, and statisticians. --from publisher description
