| Introduction | I hold a doctoral degree in computer science, and I do business as Multicore Consultancy. Much of my work has been in the field of evolutionary computation, and six of my published papers relate to the “no free lunch” theorems for optimization. I began investigating “intelligent design” creationism (IDC) in 2003, shortly after its ballyhooed tome No Free Lunch appeared. My peer-reviewed critique of IDC, coauthored by Garry Greenwood, is the opening chapter of Design by Evolution. See my brief post on why IDC is bad theology and bad science. |
