"It''s hard for us paleontologists to admit that neo-Darwinian explanations for the Cambrian explosion have failed miserably.Meyer describes the dimensions of the problem with clarity and precision. His book is a game changer." - Dr. Mark McMenamin, paleontologist at Mt. Holyoke College and coauthor of The Emergence of Animals "It is hard for us paleontologists, steeped as we are in a tradition of Darwinian analysis, to admit that neo-Darwinian explanations for the Cambrian explosion have failed miserably. New data acquired in recent years, instead of solving Darwin''s dilemma, have rather made it worse. Meyer describes the dimensions of the problem with clarity and precision.
His book is a game changer for the study of evolution and points us in the right direction as we seek a new theory for the origin of animals." - Dr. Mark McMenamin, paleontologist at Mt. Holyoke College and coauthor of The Emergence of Animals "Darwin''s Doubt represents an opportunity for bridge-building rather than dismissive polarization--bridges across cultural divides in great need of professional, respectful dialogue--and bridges to span evolutionary gaps." - Dr. George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and author of Regenesis "Meyer writes beautifully. He marshals complex information as well as any writer I''ve read. This book--and his body of work--challenges scientism with real science and excites in me the hope that the orgins-of-life debate will soon be largely free of the ideology that has long colored it.
a wonderful, most compelling read." - Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author "Meyer writes beautifully. He marshals complex information as well as any writer I''ve read.a wonderful, most compelling read." - Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author "Darwin''s Doubt is by far the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive review of the evidence from all relevant scientific fields that I have encountered in more than forty years of studying the Cambrian explosion. An engaging investigation of the origin of animal life and a compelling case for intelligent design." - Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lonnig, senior scientist emeritus (biologist) at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research "Steve Meyer''s book is a much-anticipated bombshell that details the swarm of problems of Darwinian evolution and also presents the case for intelligent design.
Ask yourself: how often does a book of this kind receive a warm welcome from leading geneticists and paleontologists? Never, until now! " - Dr. Tom Woodward, Research Professor, Trinity College, Tampa Bay, Author of Darwin Strikes Back: Defending the Science of Intelligent Design "Stephen C. Meyer is brilliant and his latest book, Darwin''s Doubt is a must read." - David Limbaugh, Syndicated columnist and author "Stephen Meyer''s new book, Darwin''s Doubt , is a fascinating and rigorous study demonstrating not only that biologists and paleontologists do not have an adequate explanation for the Cambrian Explosion, but that there is an alternative view that makes more sense. Those who are open to the possibility of Intelligent Design will find a treasure trove of supporting evidence for their view in this book. Those who oppose Intelligent Design owe it to themselves to read this book to understand Meyer''s position and to grapple with his arguments." - Dr. Richard Weikart Professor of History at California State University, Stanislaus; Author of From Darwin to Hitler Dr.
Richard Weikart, Professor of History at California State University, Stanislaus; Author of From Darwin to Hitler "A great book on the origin of animal life and crises of Darwin evolution; very clear, factual, comprehensive, logical, and informative. An enjoyable reading for both non-expert and expert." - Dr. Change Tan, Molecular biologist/developmental biologist, Associate Professor, University of Missouri-Columbia "Stephen Meyer''s new book, Darwin''s Doubt , is a fascinating and rigorous study demonstrating not only that biologists and paleontologists do not have an adequate explanation for the Cambrian Explosion, but that there is an alternative view that makes more sense." - Dr. Richard Weikart, Professor of History at California State University, Stanislaus; Author of From Darwin to Hitler "Meyer is a talented writer with an easygoing voice who has blended interesting history with clear explanations in what may come to be seen as a classic presentation of this most fundamental of all debates." - Terry Scambray, New Oxford Review "Darwinists keep two sets of books. The first set is the real record within the peer-reviewed literature that discusses why the mechanism of the origin of life and the mode and tempo speciation are more baffling today than they were two centuries ago.
The second set of books is the popular literature that promotes to the public a soothing, fanciful narrative claiming that the grand history of life is fully explained with only minor but exciting details left to be filled in. Steven Meyer gives an insightful and thoughtful treatment to this state of affairs, auditing the second set of books using the data found in the first. Justice Louis Brandies taught us that, ''Sunlight is the best disinfectant,'' and Dr. Meyer lets the sun shine in. - Dr. Stephen A. Batzer P.E.

The evolution debate is about to undergo a major shakeup, and the world is beginning to listen in. Steve Meyer''s book is a much anticipated bombshell that details the swarm of problems of Darwinian evolution that come from Cambrian fossils. It also clearly presents the case for intelligent design. Ask yourself: how often does a book of this kind receive a warm welcome from leading geneticists and paleontologists? Never, until now! Darwin''s Doubt has been praised by Dr. George Church, a geneticist at Harvard University; by Dr. Mark McMenamin, a Cambrian fossil specialist at Mt. Holyoke College, and by Dr. Scott Turner, an evolutionary theorist at the State University of New York.
And that''s just the tip of the iceberg. Charles Darwin''s own ''Origin of Species'' launched a revolution in 1859 whose scientific, cultural and spiritual effects are still with us. Now a new revolution is on the horizon." - Dr. Tom Woodward, Research Professor, Trinity College, Tampa Bay, Author of Darwin Strikes Back: Defending the Science of Intelligent Design "Dr. Meyer has written a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on the massive scientific evidence revealing the total failure of the neo-Darwinian explanation for life''s history. Darwin''s Doubt is important, clearly written with sound arguments, excellent illustrations and examples that make the topic easily understandable even for non-specialists.Randomness as a source for biological innovations is a present day paradigm and its supporters have too much at stake to give it up easily.
The vague claims of Darwinian evolution refer to historical developments and as such are hard to prove. However, molecular biology has given us tools to experimentally test its claims. As so convincingly shown by Dr. Meyer the experimental evidence refers to intelligence--not randomness." - Dr. Matti Leisola, Professor, Bioprocess Engineering, Aalto University, Finland (emeritus); Editor-in-chief, Bio-Complexity "Dr. Meyer has written a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on the massive scientific evidence revealing the total failure of the neo-Darwinian explanation for life''s history.

Matti Leisola, Professor, Bioprocess Engineering, Aalto University, Finland (emeritus); Editor-in-chief, Bio-Complexity "It is no secret among professionals that recent findings by developmental and molecular biologists are challenging current Darwinian theories of evolution. Meyer has condensed the research, made it accessible to the non-specialist and put it in the context of the debate over the origins of biological novelty. He makes a case for intelligent design as the only currently viable scientific theory for the origin of biological novelty, as found in the explosion of new species during the Cambrian geologic era. Meyer''s challenge to the dominant paradigm of naturalism will no doubt be strongly resisted by those committed to a materialist world view, but provide food for refection for those who are searching for truth." - Dr. Donald L.
