Work Description

In De blinde horlogemaker spelen zowel Paley als Darwin een belangrijke rol. De eerstgenoemde als belichaming van het geloof in een voor ede mens onbekende doelgerichtheid van de natuur. Darwin als ontdekker van het principe van de natuurlijke selectie. Uiterst boeiend schrijft Dawkins over zijn pogingen Darwins evolutieleer met behulp van computers na te bootsen. Het kunstmatige landschap van de computer verschaft meer inzicht in de ontwikkeling van de genen, de belangrijkste bouwstenen van het leven.
