Reviews
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., 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 nonexpert and expert., 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., Stephen C. Meyer's Darwin's Doubt is a truly remarkable book. Within its 413 pages of text are four tightly woven interrelated arguments. Using 753 references, he presents evidence associated with the serious weaknesses of materialistic theories of biological evolution, and positive evidence for the theory of intelligent design., Steve Meyer's book is a muchanticipated 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!, 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., ' Darwin's Doubt is an intriguing exploration of one of the most remarkable periods in the evolutionary history of life.... No matter what convictions one holds about evolution, Darwinism, or intelligent design, Darwin's Doubt is a book that should be read, engaged and discussed.' ( Dr. Scott Turner , professor of biology at the State University of New York and author of The Tinkerer's Accomplice ), Steven Meyer gives an insightful and thoughtful treatment to the history of life. Justice Louis Brandies taught us that, 'Sunlight is the best disinfectant,' and Dr. Meyer lets the sun shine in., Darwin's Doubt is an intriguing exploration of one of the most remarkable periods in the evolutionary history of life.... No matter what convictions one holds about evolution, Darwinism, or intelligent design, Darwin's Doubt is a book that should be read, engaged and discussed., 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., Stephen Meyer's new book, Darwin's Doubt , is a fascinating and rigorous study demonstrating not only that biologists and paleontologists do not have an adequate explanation for the Cambrian Explosion, but that there is an alternative view that makes more sense., 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., 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., 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., Meyer writes beautifully. He marshals complex information as well as any writer I've read....a wonderful, most compelling read., Meyer is a talented writer with an easygoing voice who has blended interesting history with clear explanations in what may come to be seen as a classic presentation of this most fundamental of all debates., 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. Meyer has written a comprehensive and uptodate analysis on the massive scientific evidence revealing the total failure of the neoDarwinian explanation for life's history. Darwin's Doubt is important, clearly written with sound arguments, excellent illustrations and examples that make the topic easily understandable even for nonspecialists, It is a tour de force…This book is well informed, carefully researched, uptodate and powerfully argued. It confronts Darwin's doubt and deals with the assumptions of NeoDarwinism. This book is much needed and I recommend it to students of all levels, to professionals and to laypeople., 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., It's hard for us paleontologists to admit that neo-Darwinian explanations for the Cambrian explosion have failed miserably....Meyer describes the dimensions of the problem with clarity and precision. His book is a game changer., 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., It is a tour de force...This book is well informed, carefully researched, up--to--date and powerfully argued.

An enjoyable reading for both non--expert and expert., 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., Dr. Meyer has written a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on the massive scientific evidence revealing the total failure of the neo-Darwinian explanation for life's history.
