So you're going to pretend that you know more about the Burgess Shale and Darwinism than the scientists I posted about earlier. No one will really believe that.
Mark McMenamin, a paleontologist at Mt. Holyoke College and author of The Emergence of Animals (Columbia University Press). 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 evolutionary biology. Stephen Meyer points us in the right direction as we seek a new theory for the origin of Cambrian animal phyla.

Darwin’s Doubt is an intriguing exploration of one of the most remarkable periods in the evolutionary history of life -- the rapid efflorescence of complex body plans written in the fossils of the Burgess Shale. In laying out his case for intelligent design (ID) based on this evidence, Meyer has emerged from the “ID wars” of the past decade as perhaps the most thoughtful and engaging advocate of this controversial perspective. No matter what convictions or beliefs one holds about evolution, Darwinism or intelligent design, Darwin’s Doubt is a book that should be read, engaged and discussed. - Dr Scott Turner, SUNY
