Negative Positive
Title: Nice try, but philosophy isn't the same thing as science.
Review: Richard Dawkins has written a brilliantly written and woefully mistaken defense of non-teleological Darwinism. I notice that I am in the minority in giving him a low rating; don't worry, guys, I HAVE read the book! Dawkins does a great job of explication, *assuming* that his ideas of evolutionary continuity and the efficacy of mindless processes to produce organized complexity are correct. However, that is a pretty big assumption.Michael Behe has given some of Dawkins' more egregious examples a badly needed skewering in his new book, _Darwin's Black Box_ (Interestingly enough, many people seem to think that Dawkins has pre-refuted Behe. I find this belief to be unconvincing, as will most people who have *actually read* DBB, as opposed to the unfavorable reviews.) For an intelligent presentation of "the other side", I would recommend that fair-minded readers give Behe a hearing
Is the review positive or negative?
