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:

  1. The immensely complex and information filled simplest cell of life could have got started by accident. 
  2. 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.
