LOL. Why are you reading that crap?Darwin's Black Box
Lost a bet. Think I mentioned it here. The guy makes some decent points but his reasoning is at times childish. That and his writing is painstakingly redundant which makes it very hard to get through. I'm more than halfway through it but doubt I'll finish it.LOL. Why are you reading that crap?.
Has Robert Langdon fallen in love with the dead guy's daughter yet?Just started reading it today, will post a review here when finished.
I've read the book, someone needs to tell me what these good points are...Lost a bet. Think I mentioned it here. The guy makes some decent points but his reasoning is at times childish.

That many systems of the body seem irreducibly complex and its mind boggling to think they could've evolved in a step by step evolution. So he raises a fair question but he's basically saying since there's no proof such things could've evolved to their current state so it must be God. While I obviously don't have much of a problem believing that there is a higher power involved, his reasoning is just lazy. There's no proof for those specific systems so it must be God? That's like saying there's no proof that God exists so---oh.I've read the book, someone needs to tell me what these good points are...
The two most widely used examples are the eye and the bacterial flagellum. In both cases, and especially the eye, his arguments are bunk - there are good explanations. But yes, theoretically, there will always be things we don't understand, and he's just dressing up 'God of the gaps' argument in pseudo-scientific language.That many systems of the body seem irreducibly complex and its mind boggling to think they could've evolved in a step by step evolution.
"I don't understand it" = God did it.
Obviously.
