The Blind Watchmaker (Paperback) Richard Dawkins

Twenty years after its original publication The Blind Watchmaker framed with a new introduction by the author is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the eighteenth-century theologian William Paley who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident so too must all living things with their far greater complexity be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin s brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte. Natural selection--the unconscious automatic blind yet essentially nonrandom process Darwin discovered--has no purpose in mind. If it can be said to play the role of a watchmaker in nature it is the blind watchmaker in nature. Size: Unisex OS Condition: Pre-Owned Good Book261 Enjoy fast shipping and epic customer service!
