A Dwindling Consensus?
From Patrick Chan at Triablogue:
In the prologue of his recent book Darwin's
Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent
Design, Stephen Meyer cites several books and articles from scholars in
relevant scientific fields which "express[...] doubt about various aspects of
neo-Darwinian theory, and especially about its central tenet, namely, the
alleged creative power of the natural selection and mutation mechanism."
Meyer notes these are just a few examples.
BTW, I filled out the citations a bit so people can look them up more easily
(although I left out page numbers which Meyer did cite in several cases), but
they're hardly to the standard one might see in a scientific journal. I tried to
be as accurate as possible, but I could have made a mistake here or there (e.g.
publication year). I've added links to the resources as well; I just hope they
won't become broken in the future.
