![]() | The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism by Michael J. Behe
Buy new: $21.28 / Used from: $3.26 This new book takes data from gazillions of generations of pathogens, and quantifies what undirected evolution can and can't achieve. Hard to argue with his data. The "edge" (limit of evolution's powers) Behe finds is higher than most IDers would put it (e.g. Behe can accept undirected origin of species). But if he's right, the grandiose claims of Darwinists will look ridiculous.

![]() | Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth? Why Much of What We Teach About Evolution is Wrong by Jonathan Wells
Buy new: $13.64 / Used from: $7.58 Taking a controlled chisel to the almost-subliminal images of evolution we absorbed from childhood, Wells' argument is modest and thoughtful, and very convincing. With these icons cast down, what is there left to persuade us to stay with evolution?

![]() | Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution by Michael J. Behe
Buy new: $10.55 / Used from: $2.85 One of the most famous ID books. Controversial, but from my reading, it appears that Behe's thesis has not been successfully challenged. And Darwinists have been stealthily trying for years, but won't admit it.

![]() | Darwin on Trial by Phillip E. Johnson
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $1.94 A classic, and a good starting point, especially for those with enough time to get some perspective on the history of the ID movement. Hearing about this book (1st ed.) from my dad was my first exposure to ID.

![]() | Uncommon Dissent: Intellectuals Who Find Darwinism Unconvincing
Buy used from: $7.42 A good antidote to the "IDiot" label.
|
![]() | Evolution: A Theory In Crisis by Michael Denton
Buy new: $15.61 / Used from: $7.03 While this book is a strong indictment of evolution, keep in mind that the author has since reversed his position regarding the ability of evolution to account for large genetic changes.
|
![]() | The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance through Small Probabilities (Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction and Decision Theory) by William A. Dembski
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $18.33 A classic of the ID movement, written from a mathematical (probability) point of view. Often attacked and misunderstood (in my perception) by the opposition. Explains why ID is a positive inference, not a God-of-the-gaps bailout.
|
![]() | No Free Lunch: Why Specified Complexity Cannot Be Purchased without Intelligence by William A. Dembski
Buy new: $23.35 / Used from: $4.28 Another pithy Dembski classic. If you put in the effort to absorb it, you will probably be rewarded.
|
![]() | 'Mathematics of Evolution' by Fred Hoyle
Buy used from: $145.29 Hoyle is an award-winning cosmologist (and SF writer). He has written about the apparent purpose behind the universe, but in this book he goes after biology.

|
![]() | Science and Evidence for Design in the Universe (Proceedings of the Wethersfield Institute) by Michael Behe
Buy new: $13.45 / Used from: $6.99 Don't know much about this, but the other anthologies/proceedings I've browsed were very interesting.
|
![]() | The Design Revolution: Answering The Toughest Questions About Intelligent Design by William A. Dembski
Buy new: $14.93 / Used from: $9.99 Sounds worthwhile.
|
![]() | Darwinian Fairytales: Selfish Genes, Errors of Heredity, and Other Fables of Evolution by David Stove
Buy new: $17.05 / Used from: $10.93 Stove was no creationist or ID proponent (nor a theist). But he strongly critiques Darwinism as being full of overblown claims.
|
![]() | Why is a Fly Not a Horse? by Giuseppe Sermonti
Buy new: $14.95 / Used from: $9.63 A respected Italian geneticist dismantles Darwinism.
