A blind watchmaker. Dokins R.

How does natural selection work? Is it a sufficient explanation of the complexity of living organisms? Is it possible that the blind, uncontrollable power has created such complex devices as a human eye or an echolocation apparatus in bats? Darwin also convincingly answered these questions, and science with each new decade provides more and more evidence of his correctness, but many still doubt it.

The book of the famous English biologist, a popularizer of science and a fighter with creationism of Richard Dokinza “Blind Chapter” protects the evolutionary view of the world and debunk myths that exist around Darwin's theory. However, Dokins is never limited to one problem of specific scientific discipline - ultimately, he speaks of the philosophical foundations of the scientific worldview as a whole.

the wit and wide erudition of the author allows him to easily operate with examples from various fields - from computer programming to Shakespeare, and this probably also played a role in the fact that the “blind watchmaker” is already almost three decades It remains a bestseller.
