The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intricacies of evolution, Richard Dawkins challenges traditional creationist views by using the metaphor of a "blind watchmaker." He argues that Darwinian natural selection operates without consciousness or intent, contrasting with the deliberate craftsmanship suggested by William Paley's metaphor. This work serves as a foundational text for understanding the mechanisms of evolution, emphasizing the automatic and unplanned nature of natural selection in shaping life.
