"Devotees of Darwin and Dawkins will have to close their eyes to the evidence David Frost brilliantly amasses if they wish to hold on to their faith in blind evolution. With head and heart he makes a powerful case for the incomprehensible Creator who shares in the world's beauty, suffering and transformation."Rev Dr John A Jillions, author of Divine Guidance: Lessons for Today from the World of Early Christianity"Blind Evolution? is an elegant and informed apology for Christianity in the face of contemporary neo-Darwinian atheism and its best-selling prophet, Richard Dawkins. David Frost is clearly familiar with issues of the philosophy of science and with the findings of the biological sciences, and the number of famous and influential colleagues and celebrities who walk the pages of his work is impressive, including Fred Hoyle, Michael Behe, David Attenborough, and C.S. Lewis. Frost's argument, at times forensic in character, is very personal but always well-crafted and greatly readable."Rev A.A. Macintosh DD, Fellow and Emeritus Dean, St John's College, Cambridge
