Download or read book The Science of Evolution and the Myth of Creationism written by Ardea Skybreak and published by Insight Press, Inc. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear, lively, and systematic presentation examines the scientific evidence for evolution and reaches for the widest possible audience—from scientific minds to those with no science background at all. Forcefully rejecting creationist objections to evolution and including a critique of Intelligent Design, it argues that they are part of a larger social agenda. With discussion that celebrates the fascination to be found in studying the diversity and complexity of life, this examination suggests with some urgency that the science of evolution is crucial to the existence of science itself.

Book Synopsis Scientific Creationism by : Institute for Creation Research
Download or read book Scientific Creationism written by Institute for Creation Research and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 1985 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with all the important aspects of the creation-evolution question from a strictly scientific point of view, attempting to evaluate the physical evidence from the relevant scientific fields without reference to the Bible or other religious literature. It demonstrates that the real evidences dealing with origins and ancient history support creationism rather than evolutionism. This General Edition (rather than the Public School Edition) includes a chapter, "Creation According to Scripture," which places the scientific evidence in its proper Biblical and theological context.

Book Synopsis Evolution and Religious Creation Myths : How Scientists Respond by : Paul F. Lurquin School of Molecular Biosciences Washington State University
Download or read book Evolution and Religious Creation Myths : How Scientists Respond written by Paul F. Lurquin School of Molecular Biosciences Washington State University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007-06-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polls show that 45% of the American public believes that humans were created about 10,000 years ago and that evolution is non existent. Another 25% believes that changes in the natural world are directed by a supernatural being with a particular goal in mind. This thinking clashes frontally with scientific findings obtained in the past 150 years. A large portion of the general public espouses the views of creationists and their descendants, and ignores or is unaware of scientific advances. Critical thinking about the natural world within a scientific framework is lacking in the USA and many parts of the world. This manuscript provides a multidisciplinary explanation and defense for the science of evolution (not just Darwinism) as it is being challenged by arguments for "intelligent design" and other creation myths. It draws in the life, physical, and social sciences, and recent studies of human evolution that rely much on the idea of change over time, which is evolution writ large. It puts the evolution/ID issue into international perspective by including opinions held in world religions other than Christianity. It is clearly written and also can easily be used as a guide for those with some science background. The authors make a convincing case that other books do not achieve this as much as they do in this work. The book is written for a whole spectrum of educated people including teachers and teachers in training who are interested in the broad issues of the origins of the universe, life, and humans, and who may not quite grasp the potential magnitude of the negative influence on all of science education of people embracing creationist and ID thinking. This includes high school teachers and people on boards of education and in municipal governments--anyone involved in education. It could be used also in college courses such as "contemporary social issues" and "Science and Society" -- sometimes team taught by sociologists and scientists. The authors show that when they are teleological, dogmatic, or politically inspired, religious and creation myths threaten scientific efforts. The book does not require any extensive knowledge of science. The principle of change over time pervades all of science, from cosmology, to the search for the origin for life, to human physical and cultural evolution. The book educates readers on scientific matters that overwhelmingly support the idea of evolution, not only in the living world, but also in physical and social science. It explains too how evolution -- physical and biological -- is a random, unguided process whose roots can be already found in quantum physics.

Book Synopsis The Creation-evolution Controversy by : R. L. Wysong
Download or read book The Creation-evolution Controversy written by R. L. Wysong and published by Wysong Institute. This book was released on 1976 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has not wondered about the origin of the universe and life? And, for certain, this is a question that should be taken with the utmost seriousness and sense of duty. After all, how can we know why we are here or what we should be doing if we do not know where we came from?Although religions have their belief (creation), and materialists have their belief(evolution), beliefs are not what truth is about. This is a book of daring adventure between these two emotionally charged belief systems. Rather than advocate, Dr. Wysong pits one belief against the other using the only weapons that should be used if truth is the objective: reason and evidence.Dr. Wysong's rational, philosophic, and scientific probings make this book a reservoir of thoughtful and factual information that will not draw dust on your bookshelf.Now in its thirteenth printing, this seminal 1975 book has been read worldwide, is widely cited on the web, and continues to be used in schools. It has helped lay the groundwork for a rational dialogue between religion and science and remains current to this day because of its even handed treatment of the subject and because reason should never fall out of fashion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recently seen by the Kitzmiller vs. Dover case, the evolution versus creation debate never goes away. The best way to understand these debates is to read the arguments of the individuals involved. This reference work provides over 40 of the most important documents to help readers understand the debate in the eyes of the people of the time. Each document is from a major participant in the debates — from the predecessors of Darwin to the judges of the influential court cases of the present day. The editors have included an introduction and analysis of each document that places it within historical and scientific context. Evolution and Creationism: A Documentary and Reference Guide aims to enhance our understanding of the debate by presenting over 40 documents that shed light on the origins, goals, and history of the ongoing debate. The volume examines such topics as Darwin's theory of natural selection, the rise of Fundamentalism and its opposition to evolution, and evolution and its discontents at the beginning of the 21st century. In addition, the work includes an extensive bibliography and reference guide to relevant print and electronic resources.

Book Synopsis Species of Origins by : Karl Giberson
Download or read book Species of Origins written by Karl Giberson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings need creation stories. Each culture has one, and is defined in part by its unique explanation of how things came to be. Despite the many differences in the creation stories of various cultures, each seems to serve much the same purpose: to answer questions about humanity's role in the larger whole. The people of the United States are no exception. Since the late-19th century, however, the country as a whole has not been able to agree on a common creation story. Part of the discord stems, of course, from the growing cultural and religious diversity of the USA. But Karl W. Giberson and Donald A. Yerxa explain that most of it flows from the reality that Americans rely heavily on two competing, very distinct, worldviews: modern naturalistic science and traditional Judeo-Christian religions. The interplay of these two ideals is at the base of America's ongoing search for its origins. Giberson and Yerxa delve into this search and America's diverse creation myths, myths that the authors dub the species of origins.

Book Synopsis The Darwinian Delusion by : Michael Ebifegha
Download or read book The Darwinian Delusion written by Michael Ebifegha and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The postulate of molecules-to-human evolution by natural selection (evolutionism), like creationism, cannot be demonstrated empirically. Therefore, the creationism-evolutionism controversy offers a choice between intelligent design by God and unintelligent design by evolutionary selection. Scientists are split on philosophical grounds since events in the immaterial realm are outside the purview of science. In reality, designers claim products; no product of a process, can account for how it was designed or for its ontology. Accordingly, Scientific American Editor John Rennie suggested that one way to override a purely evolutionary worldview is, if the creator/s appeared and claimed credit. Author Michael Ebifegha's previous book The Death of Evolution provides the historical details of Gods ancient claim for creating the universe before an audience. Dawkins, in his The God Delusion, failed to address this historical event; hence, his statement that There almost certainly is no God is flawed. The Darwinian Delusion discusses the fossil record, the role of natural selection; the mystery of the origin of life and Gods affirmation of agency in world history. Ebifegha argues that both the scientific and philosophical analysis point to God as the Creator and hence the delusion as such is not about God, but about the Darwinian paradigm of materialism.
