Abstract

Dr Colling, the Professor of Biology in Microbiology at Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois, USA and author of an excellent, thought-provoking book, entitled Random Designer: Created from Chaos to Connect with the Creator (published in 2004 by Browning Press, Bourbonnais, Illinois), writes as a devout Christian and university biology professor. He affirms the value of promoting sound science while also preserving the long-term viability of faith, but believes that intelligent design fails both tests, and consequently strongly recommends that school boards across America put an indefinite hold on decisions to incorporate intelligent design ideas into school science curricula.
