"A scientific look at creationism from a former creationist A significant number of Americans, especially evangelical Christians, believe Earth and humankind were created in their present form sometime in the last 10,000 years or so -- the rationale being that this is (presumably) the story told in the book of Genesis. Within that group, any threatening scientific evidence that suggests otherwise is rejected or, when possible, retrofitted into a creationist...

"A history and analysis of the theory of spontaneous generation and how scientific thought progresses. We accept that, at some point in the history of our universe, living creatures emerged from nonliving matter. Yet from the time of Aristotle until the late nineteenth century, many people believed in spontaneous generation, that living creatures sprang into existence from rotting material. As Daryn Lehoux explains in this fascinating book, spontaneous...

"The history and science of a cluster of dinosaurs found in the Hungarian region and the story of the aristocrat who discovered them. At the end of the time of the dinosaurs, Transylvania was an island in what was to become southeastern Europe. The island's limited resources affected the size and life histories of its animals, resulting in a local dwarfism. For example, sauropods found on the island measured only six meters long, while their cousins...

Have You Ever Wondered About The True Nature Of The Universe? What Is Beyond The Mysterious Beyond? Is There Another Life Somewhere? While many explorers are trying to find answers to our questions, Dr. Robert Lanza comes forward with a revolutionary new view of the universe. Understanding Biocentrism will trigger more questions that relate to our traditional ideas of life, space, and death. Biocentrism seem to bridge the gap between the existences...

The book describes scientifically but with a simple terminology, sometimes with irony and humour, the evolutionary and ethological reasons of the love and hate within the couple, why we use deception, why we are attracted to flowers.

Man's Selection sets the scientific record straight by taking a fresh look at Charles Darwin's phenomenal theories regarding Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design. In The Origin of Species, Darwin stated that "the Creator" originated one or more forms of life, that "the Creator" established the laws governing nature, and that "the works of the Creator" were superior to those of man. Darwin also addressed intelligent Design through the inclusion...

Life began on earth 3.8 billion years ago. We have had two momentous evolutionary events since then: the emergence of Eukarya about 2 billion years ago (the basis of all plants and animals) and the enlargement in size and capability of the human brain, which began about 2 million years ago. Otherwise humans have had a remarkably stable evolutionary process. But now, two technologies, artificial intelligence and genetic engineering, are converging...

This work deals with the efforts of creationists during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to eliminate or limit the teaching of evolution in United States public schools and the response that these efforts generated from mainstream law, science, and religion. The confrontations that ensued often resulted in political maneuvering, the enactment of laws, and litigation. Usually, the litigation found its way into the federal courts with United...

Drawing on such diverse antecedents as history, myth, and religion, as well as modern developments in biology and genetics, the author bravely questions and rejects the reigning scientific orthodoxy and shows how humans and apes may have had a common upright ancestoran upright ape that walked on two legs much as we do now. Dr. Aaron G. Filler, M.D., Ph.D. studied evolutionary theory under some of the leading biologists and anthropologists of our time:...

El niño adolescente y adulto que era James, siempre había observado el cielo nocturno buscando el brillo de las estrellas en el firmamento, e intuía que existía algo más de lo que percibían sus cinco sentidos. Al mismo tiempo que un narrador describe andaduras y pasajes de su vida en el extrarradio de Barcelona centradas a finales de los años 70 y principios de los 80, algunas de sus amistades hablan en primera persona y, su yo más elevado,...
