In the eighteenth century, theologian William Paley developed a famous metaphor for creationism: that of the skilled watchmaker. In\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">The Blind Watchmaker<\/span>, Richard Dawkins crafts an elegant riposte to show that the complex process of Darwinian natural selection is unconscious and automatic. If natural selection can be said to play the role of a watchmaker in nature, it is a blind one\u2015working without foresight or purpose.<\/p>\n<p>In an eloquent, uniquely persuasive account of the theory of natural selection, Dawkins illustrates how simple organisms slowly change over time to create a world of enormous complexity, diversity, and beauty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blind-Watchmaker-Evidence-Evolution-Universe\/dp\/0393351491\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blind-Watchmaker-Evidence-Evolution-Universe\/dp\/0393351491<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AUTHOR\u00a0 Dawkins, Richard, CALL NO QH366.2 D271b 2015\u00a0 IMPRINT\u00a0 New York : W.
