How does natural selection work? Is it a sufficient explanation for the complexity of living organisms? Is it possible for a blind, uncontrolled force to create such complex devices as the human eye or the echolocation apparatus of bats? Darwin convincingly answered these questions, and with each new decade science provides more and more evidence that he is right, but many still doubt it. The book by the famous English biologist, popularizer of science and fighter against creationism Richard Dawkins "The Blind Watchmaker" defends the evolutionary view of the world and debunks the myths that exist around Darwin's theory. However, Dawkins never limits himself to one problem of a specific scientific discipline - ultimately, he talks about the philosophical foundations of the scientific worldview as a whole. The author's wit and broad erudition allow him to easily operate with examples from a wide variety of fields - from computer programming to Shakespeare, and this probably also played a role in the fact that The Blind Watchmaker has remained a bestseller for almost three decades.
