'''''Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science and Theology''''' is a 1999 book by the mathematician [[William A. Dembski]], in which the author presents an [[argument]] in support of the [[pseudoscience]] of [[intelligent design]]. Dembski defines the term "[[specified complexity]]", and argues that instances of it in nature cannot be explained by [[Charles Darwin|Darwinian]] [[evolution]], but instead are consistent with the intelligent design. He also derives an instance of his self-declared [[law of conservation of information]] and uses it to argue against Darwinian evolution. The book is a summary treatment of the mathematical theory he presents in ''[[The Design Inference]]'' (1998), and is intended to be largely understandable by a nontechnical audience.  Dembski also provides a Christian theological commentary, and analysis of, what he perceives to be the historical and cultural significance of the ideas.
