The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery is a book by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards which claims there is scientific evidence that shows the Earth and life isn't a result of natural processes, but are the products of intelligent desigh (ID).

Both Gonzalez and Richards are associated with the Discovery Institute, the hub of the intelligent design movement; Gonzalez serves as a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture.

 

The book served as the basis for a movie by the same name, which was at the center of a number of controversies due to the Discovery Institute promoting both the book and the film as part of their campaigns promoting intelligent design as valid science despite the scientific community's statements and a federal court's ruling that it is not.

 

The Institute has alleged that the book is "at the heart of the attacks on Iowa State University astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez" and played a role in his denial of tenure and that it provoked more than 120 of Gonzalez's faculty colleagues (about 7 percent of his staff) to sign a petition in 2005 denouncing intelligent design and urging all other faculty members to do the same.

 

William H. Jefferys, a Professor of Astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, reviewed the book writing "the little that is new in this book isn't interesting, and what is old is just old-hat creationism in a new, modern-looking astronomical costume." Source

 

This is the documentary that many atheists don't want you to see. Enjoy, and God Bless you....
