The Non-Ending Search for a Pre-DNA Replicator: Richard Dawkins and the Problem of Abiogenesis

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This dissertation provides a rebuttal to the claims of Richard Dawkins in explaining the origin of life. The bulk of the ensuing analysis challenges his philosophical assumptions as it notes his vacillation between several models over time. The study further details Dawkins's multifaceted approach to the problem as it points out a number of errors permeating his general methodology and reasoning.
