How Not to Detect Design – Critical Notice: William A. Dembski, "The Design Inference"

Summary/Abstract: The article is a critical analysis of the explanatory filter concept presented by William Dembski in his book "The Design Inference". The filter is understood as formalization of the procedure leading to detection whether a given event is designed. The procedure is based on application of the rules that determine the choice between mutually exclusive hypotheses: Regularity, Chance and Design. Authors refer to the notion of likelihood of a hypothesis understood as the probability that hypothesis confers on observations. They argue that, in contrast to the likelihood of Chance and Regularity hypotheses, Dembski never takes the likelihood of Design hypothesis into consideration. Authors also criticize classification of above mentioned hypotheses proposed in "The Design Inference".
