Preface
In the preface Dawkins insists with great enthusiasm that we, as animals, are of such complex design that it begs explanation. And he is going to do that explaining. The problem of our complex design has been solved by Darwin and Wallace. A great mystery that he can scarce believe most people was not aware of a need of there being a solution!
I find it interesting that most Evolutionists and Atheists scoff at the idea that we think that we are designed and therefore special. They also tend to find fault with our existence as a mystery, and would be so foolish to think that we could gain some insight on that mystery by reading Jehovah God’s word, the Bible and yet at the same time be more or less of the same ilk.
Dawkins later says that this wonderful mystery of our existence not only could be solved by Darwinism but “A good case can be made that Darwinism is true, not just on this planet but all over the universe wherever life may be found.” Science.
I found it interesting that Dawkins comes out and says that Darwinism needs to be advocated more than “similarly established truths in other branches of science,” though he does admit that he doesn’t understand why.
I also found it interesting that Dawkins asks why such a simple theory would have escaped the notice of such scientists of the past such as Newton, Galileo, Descartes, Leibnitz, Hume and Aristotle.
