Intelligent Design, Thomas Aquinas, and the Ubiquity of Final Causes: Why I Reject ID

Last year, on May 22, 2010, the BioLogos Foundation published a paper of mine on its website, “Intelligent Design, Thomas Aquinas, and the Ubiquity of Final Causes.” It is excerpted and adapted from my article, “How to Be An Anti-Intelligent Design Advocate,” University of St. Thomas Journal of Law and Public Policy 4.1 (2010): 35-65.

This BioLogos paper should be read in conjunction with the four blog posts I published in 2010 on “Science & the Sacred,” the BioLogos Blog:

1. Intelligent Design and Me, Part I: In the Beginning
2. Intelligent Design and Me, Part II: Confessions of a Doting Thomist
3. Intelligent Design and Me, Part III: A Response to Some Critics
4. Intelligent Design and Me, Part IV: A Response to Some Critics
