The title of this 1986 work, Dawkins's second book, refers to the Rev. William Paley's 1802 work, , which argued that just as finding a watch would lead you to conclude that a watchmaker must exist, the complexity of living organisms proves that a Creator exists. Not so, says Dawkins: "All appearances to the contrary, the only watchmaker in nature is the blind forces of physics, albeit deployed in a very special way... it is the blind watchmaker." Dawkins is a hard-core scientist: he doesn't just tell you what is so, he shows you how to find out for yourself. For this book, he wrote Biomorph, one of the first artificial life programs. You can check Dawkins's results on your own or . --This text refers to the edition. From Publishers Weekly Oxford zoologist Dawkins (The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype trumpets his thesis in his subtitlealmost guarantee enough that his book will stir controversy. Simply put, he has responded head-on to the argument-by-design most notably made by the 18th century theologian William Paley that the universe, like a watch in its complexity, needed, in effect, a watchmaker to design it. Hewing to Darwin's fundamental (his opponents might say fundamentalist) message, Dawkins sums up: "The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the evolution of organized complexity." Avoiding an arrogant tone despite his up-front convictions, he takes pains to explain carefully, from various sides, why even such esteemed scientists as Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould, with their "punctuated equilibrium" thesis, are actually gradualists like Darwin himself in their evolutionary views. Dawkins is difficult reading as he describes his computer models of evolutionary possibilities. But, as he draws on his zoological background, emphasizing recent genetic techniques, he can be as engrossing as he is cogent and convincing. His concept of "taming chance" by breaking down the "very improbable into less improbable small components" is daring neo-Darwinism. Line drawings.

  • Critical Approach to Evolutionary Perspective of Richard Dawkins
    World Journal of Environmental Biosciences All Rights Reserved WJES © 2014 Available Online at: www.environmentaljournals.org Volume 6, Supplementary : 78-82 ISSN 2277- 8047 Critical Approach to Evolutionary Perspective of Richard Dawkins Ghodratollah Shirzadi , Dr.Mahdi Dehbashi Department of Islamic philosophy and kalam, Khorasgan (Isfahan) Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran ABSTRACT This paper presents an analytical descriptive study to review and criticize the evolutionary perspective of Richard Dawkins. Using his own interpretation of the theory of Darwinian evolution he denies religion, God and other metaphysical beliefs. Dawkins criticism is based on rational approach and it is believed that Dawkins theory suffers from rational methodological weaknesses and lacks adequate explanation needed to prove his claim. He also deals with major proof that acts as a basis for his theory and leads to a vicious circle to prove his theory. Dawkins theory lacks internal consistency because he presents many of its claims including complexity of God's existence without providing any logical proof and merely by considering it as incontrovertible which presents his system’s weakness more than before. Keywords: Dawkins, evolution, denial of God, natural selection, cumulative selection Corresponding author: Alireza Sargolzaei existence, he has rejected them all. The important point in criticism of Dawkins thoughts is that although it is possible to explain the complexities of the universe from the perspective of INTRODUCTION biology, this cannot lead to the denial of the designer and order in the universe. After presenting the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin in History 1859 and its completion by the evolutionary biologists as his It may be thought that Darwin's theory is the first theory that followers, some scholars like Richard Dawkins decided to believes in the evolution of species but this is contrary to fact rejects theism by providing naturalistic and atheistic because this view of the different species existed before Darwin.

  • Dawkins's Gambit, Hume's Aroma, and God's Simplicity
    PHILOSOPHIA CHRISTI VOL. 11, NO. 1 © 2009 Dawkins’s Gambit, Hume’s Aroma, and God’s Simplicity ERIK WIELENBERG The editors of a recent anthology on natural theology observe that since the time of David Hume, “the vast majority of philosophical attacks against the rationality of theism have borne an unmistakable Humean aroma.” Hume’s aroma became particularly pungent with the publication of Rich- ard Dawkins’s book The God Delusion in 2006. One of Dawkins’s more well-known remarks is that “Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.”2 In the same paragraph in which he makes that remark, Dawkins credits Hume with effectively criticizing the logic of the design argument, but suggests that Hume’s writings nevertheless would likely leave the atheist feeling “unsatisfied” and that it was only the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species some eighty-three years after Hume’s death that put the atheist at ease. It is somewhat ironic, therefore, that the central atheistic argument of The God Delusion is remarkably similar to an argument advanced by the character Philo in Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. In this paper I analyze the central atheistic argument of The God Delu- sion and expose its Humean roots. It turns out that Dawkins’s argument is a fragment of a more comprehensive critique of the rationality of theism that is ABSTRACT: I examine the central atheistic argument of Richard Dawkins’s book The God De- lusion (“Dawkins’s Gambit”) and illustrate its failure. I further show that Dawkins’s Gambit is a fragment of a more comprehensive critique of theism found in David Hume’s Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.

It would be improved if Dawkins were less preoccupied with defending himself against his detractors, if he better separated his broad points from his technical detail, and if he made clearer distinctions between his criticisms of others and his own positions. Of course, this new approach revolves around the ide In The Extended Phenotype , Richard Dawkins proposes that the expression of a gene is not limited simply to the organism's physical appearance or phenotype, that is the direct synthesis of proteins, or to the organism's behaviour, but also includes the impact of the phenotype and the behaviour on the organism's environment. The book has been awarded with , and many others. It's an expansion of topics covered in The Selfish Gene, which I'd previously enjoyed, but there was too much detail for me to take in. Oct 16, Pink rated it it was ok. So well drilled that we consider something for which that question has no answer to be suspicious if not insidious. He writes, "Organisms process matter and energy as well as information; each represents a dynamic node in a whirlpool of several currents, and self-reproduction is a property of the collective, not of genes With a multitude of examples Dawkins demonstrates that there is no real reason to believe in "gene A of X accounts for X's skin color" and at the same time deny anything like "gene A of X account's for change in Y's behavior".

  • The Blind Watchmaker and Weasel Assignment
    The Blind Watchmaker and Weasel Assignment Due: Thursday 18th October Worth: 50 pts. Rationale: The Blind Watchmaker is a software program written to support Richard Dawkins book of the same title. The intent of the program is to demonstrate the ease with which complex ‘biomorphs’ can be generated by iterative application of simple rules, under the influence of (in this case) artificial selection. Obviously, it helps if you have read the relevant sections of Dawkin’s book first! The Exercise: A simplified version can be found as an applet (i.e. you can run it directly from your web-browser) at: http://www.emergentmind.com/biomorphs The Weasel applet demonstrates the same general concept - the ability of evolutionary processes to solve very complex problems - in a different way. It can be accessed at: http://www.vanallens.com/exchristian/weasel/ (requires Java) A more sophisticated implementation (doesn’t require Java) can be found at: http://evoinfo.org/weasel.html The Assignment: (a) Your assignment is very simple. Familiarize yourself with the Blind Watchmaker applet, and produce a biomorph of “animal-like appearance” (this is entirely subjective – you choice) by selecting a “parent” and breeding from it, then selecting the most animal-like offspring and repeating the procedure. How many generations did it take to reach something that you judge suitably animal-like (you have seen Dawkins’ examples)? Next, reset the applet and try direct "God-like" intervention; i.e. adjust the genes directly to see what they do. Finally, reset the applet, and proceed again by random selection. Does complexity continually increase from generation to generation? In what ways does the simulation provide a realistic approximation to organic evolution on Earth? In what ways does the simulation differ from real-World evolution? (Note: To print your biomorphs, maximize the display, and use your "Print Screen" key to save to the clipboard, then paste into an open Windows document.

  • Aquinas' Response to Richard Dawkins
    Axis Mundi. Vol 9 (2013) The Complexity of a Simple God: Aquinas’ Response to Richard Dawkins MATTHEW MORRIS 2nd Year, PhD Ecology and Evolution University of Calgary Calgary, Alberta Abstract: Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion is a recent popular attack on theism. Rather than rely on empirical evidence, Dawkins attempts to disprove the existence of all supernatural entities through a philosophical argument: anything complex enough to create an organism must itself have been designed. The validity of this argument rests on Dawkins’ use of Thomas Aquinas’ First Way. This paper will explore Aquinas’ First Way and the Doctrine of Divine Simplicity in order to better assess Dawkins’ argument. “A designer God cannot be used to explain organized complexity because any God capable of designing anything would have to be complex enough to demand the same kind of explanation in his own right.”1 This is the main thesis of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion, and Dawkins uses it to disprove the existence of “God, all gods, anything and everything supernatural, wherever and whenever they have been or will be invented.”2 This paper will show, through the writings of Thomas Aquinas (ca 1225-1274), that both Dawkins’ argument from infinite regress and his definition of God are based on a misunderstanding of Aquinas’ First Way. This paper has three objectives: first, to examine Dawkins’ characterization of Aquinas’ argument for the existence of God;3 second, to explore how Aquinas’ definition of God relates to his First Way; and finally, to address what this understanding of Aquinas means for Dawkins’ main thesis.
