Story4.5 out of 5 stars 136
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, 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.

Great book that helps you understand how evolution works through helpful analogies. It also tells about other hypotheses and proves them wrong. The narration by Richard Dawkins and Lalla Ward is excellent.
