Book Synopsis The Gilligan Principle (The Problem with Darwinism) by : Steve Lee
Download or read book The Gilligan Principle (The Problem with Darwinism) written by Steve Lee and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Darwinists often portray evolution as a "foregone conclusion", an honest review of the facts proves this devotion to be based largely on ideology rather than on science. Highly critical of both the way in which Darwinism has been promoted over the years, as well as the glaring lack of scientific scrutiny applied to this subject, "The Gilligan Principle" highlights a wide range of problems undermining this profoundly inadequate "explanation" for life. Blending scientific analysis with social commentary, "The Gilligan Principle" goes beyond the technical flaws of Darwinism, highlighting the devastating effect this "survival of the fittest" mindset is having on society. Drawing upon clinical evidence and a wide range of glaring examples ripped straight from today's headlines that demonstrate the exploding "me-first" dysfunction now destroying our societies, "The Gilligan Principle" warns this trend now threaten to push our world to a very dark end, as it has in so many great nations of the past.

Book Synopsis Orthogenesis versus Darwinism by : Igor Popov
Download or read book Orthogenesis versus Darwinism written by Igor Popov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the convoluted history of orthogenesis with an emphasis of non-English sources, untangles relationships between various concepts of directed evolution and argues whether orthogenesis has something to offer modern biology. Darwinism claims that evolution occurs by selection from an extensive random variability. An alternative viewpoint—that the material for variability is limited and organisms are predisposed to vary in certain directions—is the essence of evolutionary concepts that can be grouped together under the name of orthogenesis. Dating back to Lamarck, orthogenesis has existed in many guises. Branded as mystical and discarded as unscientific, it keeps re-emerging in evolutionary discussions.
Book Synopsis Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design by : Jonathan Wells
Download or read book Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design written by Jonathan Wells and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwin is an emperor who has no clothes— but it takes a brave man to say so. Jonathan Wells, a microbiologist with two Ph.D.s (from Berkeley and Yale), is that brave man. Most textbooks on evolution are written by Darwinists with an ideological ax to grind. Brave dissidents—qualified scientists—who try to teach or write about intelligent design are silenced and sent to the academic gulag. But fear not: Jonathan Wells is a liberator. He unmasks the truth about Darwinism— why it is wrong and what the real evidence is. He also supplies a revealing list of "Books You’re Not Supposed to Read" (as far as the Darwinists are concerned) and puts at your fingertips all the evidence you need to challenge the most closed-minded Darwinist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a tri?ing investment of fact. ” Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi The challenges in succeeding with computational science are numerous and deeply a?ect all disciplines. NSF’s 2006 Blue Ribbon Panel of Simulation-Based 1 Engineering Science (SBES) states ‘researchers and educators [agree]: com- tational and simulation engineering sciences are fundamental to the security and welfare of the United States. . . We must overcome di?culties inherent in multiscale modeling, the development of next-generation algorithms, and the design. . . of dynamic data-driven application systems. . . We must determine better ways to integrate data-intensive computing, visualization, and simulation. - portantly,wemustoverhauloureducationalsystemtofostertheinterdisciplinary study. . . The payo?sformeeting these challengesareprofound. ’The International Conference on Computational Science 2009 (ICCS 2009) explored how com- tational sciences are not only advancing the traditional hard science disciplines, but also stretching beyond, with applications in the arts, humanities, media and all aspects of research. This interdisciplinary conference drew academic and industry leaders from a variety of ?elds, including physics, astronomy, mat- matics,music,digitalmedia,biologyandengineering.

Book Synopsis The Problem of Naturalism by : Brian Lightbody
Download or read book The Problem of Naturalism written by Brian Lightbody and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers often use the term “naturalism’ in order to describe their work. It is commonplace to see a metaphysical, epistemological and/or ethical position self-described and described by others as one that is “naturalized.” But what, if anything, does the term naturalized add--or subtract---to the position being articulated? I demonstrate in The Problem of Naturalism: Analytic and Continental Perspectives, that the term naturalism connotes such a broad meaning that it is difficult to demarcate naturalism from philosophy itself. Still, many philosophers have tried to provide non-trivial and non-vacuous definitions of the term. My book, by and large, argues that such attempts are unsuccessful. Instead, I argue that naturalism is an attitude and neither a methodology nor a substantive position. I then articulate the guidelines the naturalist needs to follow, as well as the virtues he or she needs to practice, in order for the term naturalism to do any meaningful work. Much of the book explains and then critiques the various attempts to define naturalism in the Anglo-American secondary literature. Some of the criticisms I raise seem to emanate from the internal logic of the naturalistic position being expressed. However, others have emerged from gleaning the work of such Continental thinkers as: Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger and Foucault. I use these thinkers in order to expose the unjustified implicit and sometimes explicit assumptions that many naturalistic philosophers presume to hold when they attempt to render a clear, distinct and robust naturalist position.

Book Synopsis China and Charles Darwin by : James Reeve Pusey
Download or read book China and Charles Darwin written by James Reeve Pusey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Charles Darwin never visited China, his ideas landed there with force. Darwinism was the first great Western theory to make an impact on the Chinese and, from 1895 until at least 1921, when Marxism gained a formal foothold, it was the dominant Western "ism" influencing Chinese politics and thought. The authority of Darwin, sometimes misiniterpreted, influenced reformers and revolutionaries and paved the way for Chinese Marxism and the thought of Mao Tse-tung. This study evaluates Darwin's theory of evolution as a stimulus to Chinese political changes and philosophic challenge to traditional Chinese beliefs. James Pusey bases his analysis on a survey of journals issued from 1896 to 1910 and, after a break for revolutionary action, from 1915 to 1926, with emphasis on the era between the Sino-Japanese War and the Republician Revolution. The story of Darwinism in China involves, among others, the most famous figures of modern Chinese intellectual history.

Book Synopsis The Poisoned Chalice by : Jennifer L. Woodruff Tait
Download or read book The Poisoned Chalice written by Jennifer L. Woodruff Tait and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the introduction of grape juice into the celebration of Holy Communion in the late 19th century Methodist Episcopal Church and reveals how a 1,800-year-old practice of using fermented communion wine became theologically incomprehensible in a mere forty years This work examines the introduction of grape juice into the celebration of Holy Communion in the late 19th century Methodist Episcopal Church and reveals how a 1,800-year-old practice of using fermented communion wine became theologically incomprehensible in a mere forty years. Through study of denominational publications, influential exegetical works, popular fiction and songs, and didactic moral literature, Jennifer Woodruff Tait charts the development of opposing symbolic associations for wine and grape juice. She argues that 19th century Methodists, steeped in Baconian models of science and operating from epistemological presuppositions dictated by common-sense realism, placed a premium on the ability to perceive reality accurately in order to act morally. They therefore rejected any action or substance that dulled or confused the senses (in addition to alcohol, this included “bad” books, the theatre, stimulants, etc., which were all seen as unleashing unchecked, ungovernable thoughts and passions incompatible with true religion). This outlook informed Methodist opposition to many popular amusements and behaviors, and they decided to place on the communion table a substance scientifically and theologically pure. Grape juice was considered holy because it did not cloud the mind, and new techniques—developed by Methodist laymen Thomas and Charles Welch—permitted the safe bottling and shipment of the unfermented juice. Although Methodists were not the only religious group to oppose communion wine, the experience of this broadly based and numerous denomination illuminates similar beliefs and actions by other groups.

Book Synopsis Darwinism and the Problems of Life by : Conrad Guenther
Download or read book Darwinism and the Problems of Life written by Conrad Guenther and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Darwinism and the Problems of Life: A Study of Familiar Animal Life The present work had its origin in an attempt to appreciate the range, the foundation, and the value of evolutionary theories. Such a task entailed a prolonged study, not only of scientific literature, but also of works that belong to neighbouring provinces. The information gleaned from these fields had then to be appraised and put together, and an effort made to reduce it into a harmonious system. In doing this the various theories had to be examined with discrimination, enlarged, and built into the structure. It is, therefore, hoped that the reader will meet many new thoughts in the work. In the preparatory reading the author had to go through the whole of the relevant literature in various languages. In the book itself he was compelled to restrict himself to what had an essential bearing - either for or against - on the view it presents. The work has not been written solely for those who are entirely devoted to the study of science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
