Darwin's Doubt

The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design

By: Stephen C. Meyer

Narrated by: Derek Shetterly

When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue, but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the “Cambrian explosion,” many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock.

In Darwin’s Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life—a mystery that has intensified, not only because the expected ancestors of these animals have not been found, but because scientists have learned more about what it takes to construct an animal. During the last half century, biologists have come to appreciate the central importance of biological information—stored in DNA and elsewhere in cells—to building animal forms.

Expanding on the compelling case he presented in his last book, Signature in the Cell, Meyer argues that the origin of this information, as well as other mysterious features of the Cambrian event, are best explained by intelligent design, rather than purely undirected evolutionary processes.

Brilliant presentation!

I loved the presentation and organization. The arguments were very powerful and compelling. I plan on listening again!

Excellent book

Give one much to think about. It is very technical and allows one to see the differences of thought. I recommend it

A intellectual read with a bridge

While the content in this is decidedly educational there are plenty of analogy bridges and simple summaries provided. Regardless of your view on the origin of man this will raise information that is likely to make you think.

the amount of study and preparation that went into the actual book.

Great book on the evidence against the theory of evolution and for I.D. very well prepared. the book is not just a load of Bible verse but an actuall intelligent repudiation of the theory of evolution. it is great for thise curios a out the short comings of evolution or those who take a apologetic stance. highly recommend for anyone with a curiosity in science.

Compelling Case for Intelligent Design

The narration is excellent. The content is enthralling. 'Darwin's Doubt' undoubtedly builds a rock solid case against neo-Darwinian Evolution and questions the most revered tenets of institutional academia's portrayal of the origin of life. Readers can expect to gain a broad perspective of the questions facing the ongoing evolutionary debate.
