To date, most scientific arguments against this form of creationism have been made by evolutionary biologists. In this volume, a team of earth scientists reveals that the flaws of intelligent design are not limited to the biological sciences. Indeed, the geological sciences offer some of the best refutations of intelligent design arguements. \u003ci\u003eFor the Rock Record \u003c\/i\u003eis dedicated to the proposition that the idea of intelligent design should be of serious concern to everyone.
