However, this is really beyond the scope of a discussion like this. Folks can believe anything they want but if you have any sincere desire to understand the “other side”, I’d recommend “The Blind Watchmaker” by Richard Dawkins because a book length explanation is really warranted.
My critique of
The Blind Watchmaker includes these excerpts:
P. 37: “If Paley’s explanation for any one of his examples was wrong we can’t make it right by multiplying up examples.”
(We CAN make evolution right by multiplying up examples however.)
Ibid: “Our modern hypothesis (evolution) . . .”
(Ah yes, that ‘modern’ hypothesis - evolution. 1859.)
P. 41: “Measuring the statistical improbability of a suggestion is the right way to go about assessing its believability. Indeed it is a method that we shall use in this book several times. BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT.”
(Emphasis added, again. If there is ONE thing Professor Dawkins does NOT do right, it is measuring the statistical improbability. He defines one chance in 10 exp 40 as “impossible”, and then says one chance in a universe full of numbers is “possible”. But a critic’s idea is impossible at one chance in 10 exp 301. Science turned on its head for evolution.)
P. 46 “I don’t know who it was first pointed out that, given enough time, a monkey bashing away at random on a typewriter could produce all the works of Shakespeare.”
(No it couldn’t. Not ever, ever. Dawkins provides his own proof, contradicting himself yet again:
From P. 315:
“Dover’s alleged rival to natural selection could never work, not just never in a million years, but never in a million times longer than the universe has existed, never in a million universes each lasting a million times as long again.” The reference is one chance in 10 to the 301 power. Our Shakespeare typing monkey far exceeds such impossible odds in trying to type merely the first 301 letters of the FIRST PAGE of the FIRST BOOK of Shakespeare, or one chance in 26 letters to the 301 power.)
P 81: “An ancient animal with 5% of an eye . . . used it for 5% vision.”
(Five percent of an eye is an enormous step, not one of the “inch-by-million-year-inch” steps evolutionists love to cite! Moreover it is inconceivable that 5% of an eye worked even a fraction of a percent! These are just more baseless and hopeful assumptions, devoid of science. Tell us about the 5% of the proteins and enzymes needed for vision. Five percent of a protein is worthless! Five percent of sugar is either black carbon, or water or a gas. Yum! Tasty AND nutritious. Countless blind people have 90% of their eyes, with no vision whatsoever!)
P. 139: “Given infinite time or infinite opportunities, anything is possible.”
(Infinite time has not elapsed since the earth is said by scientists to have formed. Nor are there infinite opportunities. Dawkins first says one chance in 10 to the 40th is impossible, then he states "anything is possible." Please, this is utter nonsense.)
P 230: Evolutionists “despise so-called scientific creationists”.
(Such tolerance. Such objectivity, impartiality, decency. And finally - finally - such honesty.)
Would you like to see other examples of Dawkins' published nonsense? It gets even worse in
Climbing Mount Improbable and
Viruses of the Mind to name but two. Carl Sagan also published anti-science in one volume after another. But this is only because he was a Leftist and agnostic. Those credos go hand-in-hand with mendacity.
