Looking
for Darwin
Looking for Darwin is a search for meaning in a world that pits evolution against creationism, Intelligent Design of an all-seeing God versus the blind hand of Natural Selection.
On one level, it is primarily a science story, an unravelling of Darwin and Darwinism. On another, it is in part a personal memoir, an account of Lloyd Spencer Davis’ journey to find the truth about God, Evolution, Intelligent Design and the meaning of life. It is also a travelogue, documenting the places and people, the reverent and the irreverent things that happen to LSD on that journey.
Published by Longacre Press, Dunedin in 2007. More information can be obtained from the website: www.lookingfordarwin.com.

Reviews
...the book is one of the most entertaining non-fiction titles I’ve read in a long while...I see him as a cross between Bill Bryson and David Attenborough.

...relax and enjoy the read which I describe as “Bill
Brysonesque” in style.

Davis writes like Bill Bryson. A very
rare gift. This book is superb.

This book...will appeal to readers in
different ways. It is probably not a book for the
devoutly religious or politically correct, but it is
otherwise a rattling good story.

...this volume stands out as a
brilliant angle on Darwin...writing with a vigour and
irreverence surely unique in popular science.
