Beyond Darwin, the Program Hypothesis by Miguel Ribeiro Pdf

Darwinism came to influence all science because evolution by random mutation implies a purposeless and random universe - a view irreconcilable with the increasingly popular theories of the universe as information (like a computer, a hologram or a simulation) since the transmission of information is impossible by chance. Accordingly, " complexity cannot be achieved by chance" is the core premise of this thesis of the universe as a computer, in which the finely tuned laws of physics and constants of nature are set parameters of the proposed program rather than a phenomenal string of coincidences. Highlighting the analogy, our brain converts patterns of atoms and radiation into the world of our perception - like a computer program converts patterns of "zeroes and ones" into audiovisual animation. The book focuses on presenting a model of the emergence and evolution of life consistent with this information view of the universe - accordingly, adaptive mutation, a functional junk DNA, sentience and life as algorithms uphold the notion of the genome as software. The author clearly outlines the rationale that sets the program hypothesis apart from intelligent design and religion.

Apoptosis and Beyond by James A. Radosevich Pdf

These volumes teach readers to think beyond apoptosis and describes all of the known processes that cells can undergo which result in cell death This two-volume source on how cells dies is the first, comprehensive collection to cover all of the known processes that cells undergo when they die. It is also the only one of its kind to compare these processes. It seeks to enlighten those in the field about these many processes and to stimulate their thinking at looking at these pathways when their research system does not show signs of activation of the classic apoptotic pathway. In addition, it links activities like the molecular biology of one process (eg. Necrosis) to another process (eg. apoptosis) and contrasts those that are close to each. Volume 1 of Apoptosis and Beyond: The Many Ways Cells Die begins with a general view of the cytoplasmic and nuclear features of apoptosis. It then goes on to offer chapters on targeting the cell death mechanism; microbial programmed cell death; autophagy; cell injury, adaptation, and necrosis; necroptosis; ferroptosis; anoikis; pyronecrosis; and more. Volume 2 covers such subjects as phenoptosis; pyroptosis; hematopoiesis and eryptosis; cyclophilin d-dependent necrosis; and the role of phospholipase in cell death. Covers all known processes that dying cells undergo Provides extensive coverage of a topic not fully covered before Offers chapters written by top researchers in the field Provides activities that link and contrast processes to each other Apoptosis and Beyond: The Many Ways Cells Die will appeal to students and researchers/clinicians in cell biology, molecular biology, oncology, and tumor biology.

Creativity and Innovation in Business and Beyond by Leon Mann,Janet Chan Pdf

Creativity and Innovation in Business and Beyond illustrates the ways in which creativity spurs innovation – not only in the realms of business and management, where the innovation is regularly acknowledged and discussed, but throughout the social sciences. With contributions from experts in fields as far-flung as policy, history, economics, law, psychology, and education, in addition to business and management, this volume explores the manifold avenues for creativity and innovation within and across a multitude of disciplines.

Beyond Darwin and Genesis by CREATESPACE,Peter Hertli Pdf

Scientists have convinced all reasonable people that the Earth is a globe circling the sun, that microbes can cause illness, that matter can be converted into energy, and that sheep can be cloned. Why, then, have scientists failed to convince so many thoughtful people that the first living thing and all subsequent species evolved by neo-Darwinian processes?Experts tend to shrink this problem into a simplistic either/or choice: Accept the theory of evolution by natural selection, or practice religion and believe that God created the universe and life in six days as Genesis says! These authors stress that only two answers can exist; one scientific, the other religious. What's more, for them the only acceptable scientific theory is the intrinsically unalterable, 150-year old view of the brilliant naturalist Charles Darwin, who knew nothing about biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology.Peter Hertli proposes that we breach the constraining and false either/or dichotomy. He invites us to look at the history of living things in terms of three myths, or generally accepted explanations of mysterious events. They may be in the form of sacred scriptures like Genesis, or based on the pronouncements of a venerable authority, repeated and elaborated on as in the case of Darwin's evolution by natural selection. These two myths are based on miracles, or violations of natural laws. Peter Hertli offers a third myth of life's appearance and proliferation that dispenses with violations of natural laws.The author will lead you through the three myths, offering three guiding principles for this adventure: Rule 1: No irreverence toward anyone's religious convictions. Rule 2: Review neo-Darwinism, first uncritically, then critically. We will find countless instances of unacceptably low probabilities of events needed to make evolution by natural selection a scientifically plausible explanation. Rule 3: Agree to take a daring excursion into terra incognito, where quantum mechanics is part of the evolutionary process.

Beyond Belief by John L. Casti Pdf

How can we predict and explain the phenomena of nature? What are the limits to this knowledge process? The central issues of prediction, explanation, and mathematical modeling, which underlie all scientific activity, were the focus of a conference organized by the Swedish Council for the Planning and Coordination of Research, held at the Abisko Research Station in May of 1989. At this forum, a select group of internationally known scientists in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, sociology and mathematics discussed and debated the ways in which prediction and explanation interact with mathematical modeling in their respective areas of expertise. Beyond Belief is the result of this forum, consisting of 11 chapters written specifically for this volume. The multiple themes of randomness, uncertainty, prediction and explanation are presented using (as vehicles) several topical areas from modern science, such as morphogenetic fields, Boscovich covariance, and atmospheric variability. This multidisciplinary examination of the foundational issues of modern scientific thought and methodology will offer stimulating reading for a very broad scientific audience.

Imagining the Darwinian Revolution by Ian Hesketh Pdf

This volume considers the relationship between the development of evolution and its historical representations by focusing on the so-called Darwinian Revolution. The very idea of the Darwinian Revolution is a historical construct devised to help explain the changing scientific and cultural landscape that was ushered in by Charles Darwin’s singular contribution to natural science. And yet, since at least the 1980s, science historians have moved away from traditional “great man” narratives to focus on the collective role that previously neglected figures have played in formative debates of evolutionary theory. Darwin, they argue, was not the driving force behind the popularization of evolution in the nineteenth century. This volume moves the conversation forward by bringing Darwin back into the frame, recognizing that while he was not the only important evolutionist, his name and image came to signify evolution itself, both in the popular imagination as well as in the work and writings of other evolutionists. Together, contributors explore how the history of evolution has been interpreted, deployed, and exploited to fashion the science behind our changing understandings of evolution from the nineteenth century to the present.
