Review:
"Darwin's Doubt represents an opportunity for bridge-building rather than dismissive polarization--bridges across cultural divides in great need of professional, respectful dialogue--and bridges to span evolutionary gaps."--Dr. George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and author of Regenesis
"Darwin's Doubt is by far the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive review of the evidence from all relevant scientific fields that I have encountered in more than forty years of studying the Cambrian explosion."--Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lonnig, senior scientist emeritus (biologist) at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research
"Meyer demonstrates, based on cutting-edge molecular biology, why explaining the origin of animals is now not just a problem of missing fossils, but an even greater engineering problem at the molecular level....An excellent book and a must read."--Dr. Russell Carlson, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Georgia and technical director of the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center
"It is a tour de force...This book is well informed, carefully researched, up-to-date and powerfully argued. It confronts Darwin's doubt and deals with the assumptions of Neo-Darwinism. This book is much needed and I recommend it to students of all levels, to professionals and to laypeople."--Dr. Norman C. Nevin OBE, BSc, MD, FRCPath, FFPH, FRCPE, FRCP; Professor Emeritus in Medical Genetics, Queen's University, Belfast
"Darwin's Doubt is another excellent book by Stephen Meyer. Stephen Meyer has clearly listened to the arguments of those who are sceptical about intelligent design and has addressed them thoroughly. It is really important that Darwinists read this book carefully and give a response."--Dr. Stuart Burgess, Professor of Design and Nature, Head of Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University
"I spend my life reading science books. I've ready many hundreds of them over the years, and in my judgment Darwin's Doubt is the best science book ever written. It is a magnificent work, a true masterpiece that will be read for hundreds of years."--George Gilder Technologist, economist, and New York Times bestselling author George Gilder Technologist, economist, and New York Times bestselling author George Gilder Technologist, economist, and New York Times bestselling author George Gilder Tec
"The issue on the table is the mechanism of evolution--is it blind and undirected or is it under the control of an intelligence with a goal in mind? In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen Meyer has masterfully laid out one of the most compelling lines of evidence for the latter."--Dr. William S. Harris, Professor, Sanford School of Medicine, University of South Dakota
"Meyer makes a case for intelligent design as the only viable scientific theory for the origin of biological novelty. Meyer's challenge to naturalism will no doubt be strongly resisted by those committed to a materialist worldview, but provide food for refection for those who are searching for truth."--Dr. Donald L. Ewert, Molecular Biologist, Associate Member (retired), Wistar Institute
"A great book on the origin of animal life and crises of Darwin evolution; very clear, factual, comprehensive, logical, and informative. An enjoyable reading for both non-expert and expert."--Dr. Change Tan, Molecular biologist/developmental biologist, Associate Professor, University of Missouri-Columbia
"Steve Meyer's book is a much-anticipated bombshell that details the swarm of problems of Darwinian evolution and also presents the case for intelligent design. Ask yourself: how often does a book of this kind receive a warm welcome from leading geneticists and paleontologists? Never, until now! "--Dr. Tom Woodward, Research Professor, Trinity College, Tampa Bay, Author of Darwin Strikes Back: Defending the Science of Intelligent Design
About the Author:
Dr. Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in the philosophy of science. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle. In 2004, Meyer ignited a firestorm of media and scientific controversy when a biology journal at the Smithsonian Institution published his peer-reviewed scientific article advancing intelligent design. Meyer has been featured on national television and radio programs, including The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, CBS s Sunday Morning, NBC s Nightly News, ABC s World News, Good Morning America, Nightline, FOX News Live, and the Tavis Smiley Show on PBS. He has also been featured in two New York Times front-page stories and has garnered attention in other top-national media. He is the author of Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design
