"Michael Denton is a biologist,.....Denton, meanwhile, came to doubt Darwinian theory, with its reliance on natural selection to explain biological invention, because life is replete with what he calls “non-adaptive order.”
That is, structures that don’t serve any conceivable specific adaptive purpose but instead seem to have been selected for other reasons, such as beauty, elegance, or personal taste.
Yet Darwin’s evolutionary mechanism is just a blunt recipe, an algorithm, and it can only select what is immediately functional. This is at odds with the evidence of life, which appears to be guided as much by visionary design, full of surprises, as it is by function. Recognizing that was a blow to the young Denton’s confidence in Darwinism."
