Dr. Dembski has published articles in mathematics, philosophy, and theology journals and is the author/editor of more than ten books.  His chief insight has been to observe that design may be inferred with a reasonable degree of confidence if origins other than design have very small probabilities.

*William Dembski is a senior fellow with Seattle's [[Discovery Institute]]. Dr. Dembski has published articles in mathematics, philosophy, and theology journals and is the author/editor of more than ten books. In ''The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance Through Small Probabilities'' (Cambridge University Press, 1998), he examines the design argument in the post-[[Darwinian]] context and analyzes the connections linking chance, probability, and intelligent causation. His work has been cited in numerous newspaper and magazine articles, including three front page stories in the ''New York Times''. He has made frequent television appearances. <ref>http://www.uncommondescent.com/about</ref>

*[[materialism|Materialistic]] ideology has subverted the study of [[biological]] and [[cosmological]] [[origin debate|origins]] so that the actual content of these sciences has become corrupted. The problem, therefore, is not merely that [[science]] is being used illegitimately to promote a [[materialistic world view]], but that this world view is actively undermining [[scientific inquiry]], leading to incorrect and unsupported conclusions about biological and cosmological origins. At the same time, [[intelligent design]] (ID) offers a promising scientific alternative to materialistic theories of biological and cosmological evolution -- an alternative that is finding increasing theoretical and empirical support. Hence, ID needs to be vigorously developed as a scientific, intellectual, and cultural project.
