Q. And intelligent design has been around for almost 20 years. Is that correct?
A. Has it? That sounds a bit long to me, but --
Q. If Of Pandas and People was first published in 1989 --
From
The "Wedge" Document, by Phillip Johnson - considered by many the formal beginning of neo-paleyism (ID):
The very beginning of this strategy, the "thin edge of the wedge," was Phillip ohnson's critique of Darwinism begun in 1991 in Darwinism on Trial, and continued in Reason in the Balance and Defeatng Darwinism by Opening Minds. Michael Behe's highly successful Darwin's Black Box followed Johnson's work.
The "wedge document" was apparently written in 1998 (it talks about things that has happened in 1997 and what will happen in 1999-2003 as the next five years).
"Defeating Darwinism By Opening Minds" was first published in 1997
"Darwin's Black Box" was first published in 1996.
And further "Of Pandas and People" started with creationism (1983) and was altered to fit ID later (1987), with a "
second edition" published in 1993.
From
Wikipedia article on "Of Pandas and People" (click):
The creationism case in question ” Edwards v. Aguillard ” was decided by the Supreme Court in 1987. The court determined that teaching creationism in public schools violated the Establishment Clause of the United States constitution, but that alternative scientific theories could be taught. While the decision ruled out any return to teaching traditional Young Earth creationism in science classes, it did offer an opening for those willing to recast creationist doctrine in the language of science.
According to documents released in a 2005 court case in Pennsylvania, the outcome of the case prompted major editorial changes to the book. It was initially focused entirely on creationism but was extensively edited to refer to "intelligent design" instead. The first draft was called Creation Biology (1983); the next was Biology and Creation (1986); the third, Biology and Origin (1987); and later in 1987, the authors settled on the final title, Of Pandas and People.
(bold mine for emPHAsis)
I believe they first change to the ID format by simply substituting ID for creationism but otherwise left the text unaltered.
That would make
1987 the earliest book involving modern neo-paleyist ID concepts of the ones listed.
