Darwin's Doubt
The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design
by:
Stephen C. Meyer
in:
Biology
Summary:
The book examines the Cambrian explosion, a period when a vast number of animal species appeared abruptly in the fossil record, which the author argues poses a challenge to the theory of evolution by natural selection. It presents the case for intelligent design as an alternative explanation, suggesting that the complexity and diversity of life during this period cannot be fully explained by current evolutionary mechanisms.
Key points:
1. Cambrian Explosion: The book talks about the sudden appearance of diverse animal forms 530 million years ago, challenging Darwin's theory of gradual evolution.
