William A. Dembski Biography

William A. Dembski is one of the most popular and richest Mathematician who was born on July 18, 1960 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

William Albert “Bill” Dembski (born July 18, 1960) is an American mathematician, philosopher and theologian. He was a prominent proponent of intelligent design (ID) pseudoscience, specifically the concept of specified complexity, and was a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture (CSC). On September 23, 2016 he officially retired from intelligent design, resigning all his “formal associations with the ID community, including [his] Discovery Institute fellowship of 20 years.”

In 1987, the phrase “intelligent design” replaced “creation science” in drafts of a book, Of Pandas and People, that was intended for secondary school students. The phrase referred to the idea that life was created through unspecified processes by an intelligent but unidentified designer. The book asserted that there was a logical need for such a designer because of the appearance of design in biological organisms. This replacement was intended to evade the Edwards v. Aguillard ruling. The book was published in 1989 amidst campaigning by the publisher for the introduction of “intelligent design” into school science classes.

At the Princeton Theological Seminary, Dembski met his future wife, Jana. Dissatisfied with what he called the “free-swinging academic style” of the school, Dembski also was involved in a group known as the Charles Hodge Society. Based on the works of the 19th century thinker Charles Hodge, the group was devoted to strengthening the faith of students faced with what members believed to be the “theological disarray” of the times, and to providing an example of how to oppose “false and destructive ideas.” It published a journal (a recreation of the Princeton Theological Review (1903–1929)) and met with considerable opposition on the campus, facing two lawsuits, threats of violence, accusations of racism and sexism; being denied funding; and hearing that membership “jeopardized their academic advancement.”

Dembski wrote a contribution to the 1994 book The Creation Hypothesis. Another chapter, contributed by the creationists Charles Thaxton and Walter L Bradley, discussed “design detection” and redefined “specified complexity” as a way of measuring information. These ideas led to Dembski’s notion of specified complexity, which he developed in The Design Inference, a 1998 revision of his PhD dissertation in philosophy.

Dembski has also indicated an interest in the Bible code. In a favorable book review of Jeffrey Satinover’s Cracking the Bible Code (1997), Dembski wrote that “The philosopher Bertrand Russell was once asked why he didn’t believe in God. He replied, ‘Not enough evidence.’ Satinover’s fascination with the Bible Code is that it may provide evidence for God’s existence that would have convinced even a Bertrand Russell.”
