Richard
Dawkins The
Blind Watchmaker.
Richard Dawkins' brilliant creative and
imaginative style
covers up the hopeless faults of his argument.
His main thesis is two fold:
-
The immensely complex and information filled
simplest cell
of life could have got started by accident.
-
Having got started, with yet no leaves,
petals, bones, lungs,
blood stream, eyes, liver, brain or mind, it developed by chance
mutations, and the sieve of natural selection, into
all the plants animals and humans that we see today. He denies that his
theory of evolution is a random process but does acknowledge that
natural selection cannot produce greater complexity and information
but only preserve that which occurs purely by chance. How could pure
chance
and the natural selection sieve produce the wonders of the living
world? He has an answer. Can it stand
up to simple scrutiny?
His marvellous rhetoric has convinced many but
his argument
is deeply flawed and leads to the absurd conclusion that God had
nothing
to do and so we might as well not believe in Him.
