Darwinism
Stephen Mayer, Darwin’s Doubt
There’s no reason to doubt that Darwin successfully explained the small adjustments by which an organism adapts to local circumstances: changes to fur density or wing style or beak shape. Yet there are many reasons to doubt whether he can answer the hard questions and explain the big picture-not the fine-tuning of existing species but the emergence of new ones. The origin of species is exactly what Darwin cannot explain.
