# Charles R. Marshall Topic: [[Topics/Intelligent Design and Origins Debate/Intelligent Design and Origins Debate|Intelligent Design and Origins Debate]] - **Role here:** a paleontologist at UC Berkeley. He reviewed Meyer's *Darwin's Doubt* in *Science* 341:1344 (Sep 20, 2013), "When Prior Belief Trumps Scholarship" ([Science](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1244515)). - **The review's main points:** - It calls the book a "(sophisticated) 'god of the gaps' approach". - It says Meyer "completely omits mention of the Early Cambrian small shelly fossils and misunderstands the nuances of molecular phylogenetics". - It says new phyla "largely emerged through the rewiring of the gene regulatory networks". - It says Meyer's quote of Marshall's own review is "a chimera drawn from two very different parts". - ⚠️ Meyer's rebuttal (in *Debating Darwin's Doubt* and elsewhere) was not read in this pass. - **Appears in:** [[Users/@StephenCMeyer/Post Analyses/Post Analysis - StephenCMeyer on IntelligentDesign.org and the Growing Number of Scientists Claim (2026-10-24)|@StephenCMeyer post analysis]]
