Yesterday, I received the following e-mail and I thought I would share it (with permission of the person who sent it).

Mike Gene,

Thank you for your book. I am not a biologist, but a computer
programmer with an education in Philosophical Theology. I live in
the Kansas City area where, in ‘06 the debate on this subject became
workplace water-cooler chat in hushed tones; so I started reading
about it with a novice’s interest. I read seven or eight books
penned by Behe, Dembski, Wells, Denton, et al, but couldn’t quite get
a grasp of what ID might offer as an alternative. Intuitively it
makes sense that there are more points of view worth consideration in
this discipline, as in any other . You provided a considerably
detailed background essential to the subject in readable prose that
provides the layman access to the complexities of your profession.
The Design Matrix opened my mind to possibilities formerly
unimaginable to me. I hope both sides of this controversy consider
your methodology.
