Miller. In \u003ci\u003eOnly a Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, Miller-the highly regarded scientist who offered expert testimony at the 2005 trial over the teaching of evolution in Dover, Pennsylvania-eloquently shows how \"Intelligent Design\" collapses at the very moment one begins to take it seriously. Miller shows that the attack on evolution is a broader assault on the skepticism and reason that have fueled America's remarkable scientific advances, and offers an encouraging prescription for how we can save the nation's \"scientific soul\" to which we owe so much.Only A TheoryPreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne:\u003c\/b\u003e Only a Theory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo:\u003c\/b\u003e Eden's Draftsmen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThree:\u003c\/b\u003e Embracing Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFour:\u003c\/b\u003e Darwin's Genome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFive:\u003c\/b\u003e Life's Grand Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSix:\u003c\/b\u003e The World That Knew We Were Coming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeven:\u003c\/b\u003e Closing the American Scientific Mind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEight:\u003c\/b\u003e Devil in the Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\" Demolishes the assertions of advocates of Intelligent Design.\"\u003cbr\u003e -\u003ci\u003eThe Baltimore Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \" A grass-roots defense of good science education . . . a useful overview of a perilous political attack on the nature of science.\"\u003cbr\u003e -P.
