Narrated by: Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins and
Lalla Ward, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker
belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just
as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence
by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater
complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery
challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have
written this elegant riposte. Natural selection - the unconscious,
automatic, blind, yet essentially nonrandom process Darwin discovered -
is the blind watchmaker in nature.
