In an effort to educate myself as much as possible, I have begun reading, upon recommendation of some here in the forum, THE BLIND WATCHMAKER.

I find this easy to read compared to some others I've tried. Dawkins seems so far to be a master at explaining.

I have always wondered how complexities could be explained without the aid of a "designer" and he seems from the beginning to address why people are so inclined to believe this way.

I would like comments from anyone else who has read this book. Am I on the right track to try to satisfy my questions about illusions of design?

Thanks in advance.

Are you, uh, asking for more recommendations? Or just inforimg people that you took the recommendation?

edit: Nevermind.

Yep. And if you're at all familiar with the bog-standard design arguments (irreducible complexity, complex specified information etc) but not with the refutations, "Finding Darwin's God" by Kenneth Miller might be a useful next step.

Yes you are - but read his other books as well, especially "Climbing Mount Improbable".

If it's evolution that you're interested in, the E/C Forum has a list of recommended resources.
