We look at the eye, the wing, the living cell, and something in us says: this cannot be an accident. The feeling is real. The conclusion it points toward is not.
The Illusion of Design explains, clearly and without condescension, why the world appears designed when it is not — and why that appearance is so difficult to shake. Drawing on physics, biology, geology, and cognitive science, Robert W. Jansen traces the full arc of the scientific case: from deep time and the origin of life through evolution and the fossil record to DNA and the architecture of the human mind itself.
This is not an audiobook about what to believe. It is an audiobook about how science works, what it has found, and why the findings are more wonderful than any alternative.
