Newswise — The intelligent design trial in Dover, Pa., has brought the question of "Is intelligent design science?" to the forefront of public discussion. Science & Theology News tackles this complicated question in part five of our Science-and-Religion Guide, available at our Web site, http://www.stnews.org. The Guide is a resource designed to arm journalists, students and other researchers writing about intelligent design with the tools they need to better understand the key issues at the crux of science, religion and health.

Science editor Julia Keller and guest editor Owen Gingerich, professor emeritus of astronomy and history of science at Harvard University, break down the theory of intelligent design through interviews with intelligent design proponents and opponents, including Guillermo Gonzalez Michael Behe, William Dembski, Stephen Meyer, Paul Gross, Paul Kurtz, Ernan McMullin, Eugenie Scott and more. The Guide also includes a glossary of key terms, a Who's Who of the intelligent design debate, a timeline of the theory and a comprehensive list of resources for more information. The Science-and-Religion Guide to intelligent design can be found here: http://www.stnews.org/guide.php?guide=Intelligent%20Design, and is also available as a downloadable PDF.
