When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the "Cambrian explosion", many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock.
In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life - a mystery that has intensified not only because the expected ancestors of these animals have not been found but because scientists have learned more about what it takes to construct an animal. During the last half century, biologists have come to appreciate the central importance of biological information - stored in DNA and elsewhere in cells - to building animal forms.
Expanding on the compelling case he presented in his last book, Signature in the Cell, Meyer argues that the origin of this information, as well as other mysterious features of the Cambrian event, are best explained by intelligent design rather than purely undirected evolutionary processes.

This book is a phenomenal graduate level examination of the scientific research that makes the theory of Darwinian evolution a very flimsy one indeed. I genuinely believe that those who hold doggedly to evolutionary theory are either looking at the process from afar and only in outline, or they are so fearful of the possibility of a Desighner that their prejudice is blinding -- which seems quite evident from many of the reactions from the scientific community as recounted in this book.

Excellent Book!

This book is laden with scientific references and technical vocabulary, so it is not a “light read” (or listen), but Dr. Meyer (he received his Ph.D from Cambridge) makes a compelling case that intelligent design has been marginalized more by philosophical obstructionism than by intellectual necessity.
The audio version is a bit dry (hence four stars), but that may be simply a reflection of the technical nature of the material.
Definitely with a read (or listen) if you have an interest in this area of inquiry.
