Book Review of The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design

The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


Although I already had a pretty good grasp of evolutionary theory before reading this book, I felt that this book greatly illuminated the finer points of evolutionary theory in general, and specifically those points where the proponents of creationism and/or intelligent design try to muddy the waters. It is extremely well written and entertaining as well. I love Dawkin's dry sense of humor which makes reading even very technical arguments interesting. However, if you are set on believing in god, you shouldn't read this book - I can't conceive of anyone reading this book, comprehending the material, and still being able to state with certaintly that there is a god.
