Reviewer: Although finalism -- the view that there are purposes in nature -- has been universally rejected, this book launches another attack on that view  Its arguments are based on a complete misunderstanding of the operation of pure chance in nature and so it fails as a critique of finalism
Finalism, ttherefore, is clearly more plausible than people have thought
Bicycle engineers no longer believe that aluminum is as good a frame material as titanium. An engineer at Ace Bicycles has argued that aluminum is not as good as titanium because it breaks under pressure. But he is confused about the kind of pressure exerted on bicycles. Ttherefore, the claim that aluminum is as good a frame material as titanium makes more sense than bicycle engineers believe.
