Creation & Evolution 101 by Bruce Bickel,Stan Jantz Pdf
Simple yet comprehensive, this guide offers a witty discussion of the scientific difficulties with the theory of evolution, evidence pointing to creation and intelligent design, the Christian approach to science, and how Genesis relates to the latest findings, while challenging the reader to think clearly and critically about the facts and opinions of science and their impact on our understanding of the Bible. Original.
What should the average person know about science? Because science is so central to life in the 21st century, science educators and other leaders of the scientific community believe that it is essential that everyone understand the basic concepts of the most vital and far-reaching disciplines. Evolution 101 does exactly that. This accessible volume provides readers - whether students new to the field or just interested members of the lay public - with the essential ideas of evolution using a minimum of jargon and mathematics. Concepts are introduced in a progressive order so that more complicated ideas build on simpler ones, and each is discussed in small, bite-sized segments so that they can be more easily understood. Evolution 101 provides an introduction for non-scholars to this most powerful scientific theory, covering such issues as: the history of evolutionary thought, from before Darwin to the present day; the evidence for evolution, from fields as diverse as geology, molecular biology, paleontology, and more, that show how strongly supported evolution is; how evolution works, including topics ranging from behavior (e.g., sexual selection) to molecular biology (e.g., mutation); and evolution in our daily lives, including how evolution accounts for phenomena such as antibiotic resistance and pesticide resistance. This essential resource will answer the questions students and lay people have regarding evolution, and will point them on the path to further understanding.
According to Overbey, science and religion cannot be separated. He presents an account of the formation of the universe that shows that science and God must intersect. (Social Issues)
2034 A.d.evolution 101 Textbook of the Future by Jeff T. Bowles Pdf
"Best book on evolution yet written! This is from a guy(me) who has literally read hundreds of book's on evolution.I highly recommend this book to you, if you are the slightest bit curious about evolution, health, or just the future of longevity.. I like this book so much I am buying and pushing this book on all my friends and family who have even a few neurons of interest in evolution or health." A.C. "An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out. " "Science advances one funeral at a time." MP "New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment." ----Max Planck The evidence has been mounting for years, and has been ignored by years, by mainstream scientists, that the "selfish gene" paradigm is woefully inadequate to explain much of what is observed in the world around us. This book completes the theory of evolution to conclusively and simultaneously solve all the remaining conundrums and paradoxes that have been plaguing evolutionary theorists for decades such as the existence and purpose of of sex and aging, male and female sex types, and even homosexuality. It is quite likely this will be the textbook for Evolution 101 in the year 2034. If this particular book is not used , the ideas contained herein certainly will be. Fun To Read!- Written in an easy to understand style for normal readers and scientists alike. This radical new view of evolution leads to many shocking conclusions about evolution's unexplained paradoxes. One chapter includes a detailed examination of how various human hormones change with aging, and how the "good" hormones decline with age, and how the "bad" hormones intentionally designed by evolution to kill you, skyrocket after age 50. (also included are ways to reverse this process). This book is full of beautiful , thought-provoking photos. This is a groundbreaking new look at and explanation of the mysteries of evolution that have been have been plaguing mainstream science since the first publication of Darwin's theory of evolution. Sex and aging have never had any satisfactory explanation within the Selfish Gene paradigm begun by Darwin and his disciples, and popularized by Dawkins in his famous book-"The Selfish Gene". Aging and Sex are conclusively shown to be evolution's evolved defenses to evolving predation, and in the absence of predation, they will eventually become undone-leading to a strange and bizarre world where humans eventually will evolve into a new asexual species! As bizarre as it sounds, examples of many types of animals where asexual reproduction already occurs are provided- including animals as complicated as turkeys, sharks, and lizards! Homosexuality, almost totally ignored by evolutionary biologists, is examined and shown to also be a defense against evolving predation that acts as birth control for what evolution perceives as less fit (predator-stressed) mothers. Even human religion as an evolved defense to famine and drought is explored and explained with a special emphasis on the high rate of religious suicide associated with various religions and cults. Sex and Aging are examined and shown to be species-selected defenses to evolving predation that are being selected for at the local ecosystem level virtually everywhere and all the time.
Evolutionary Philosophy is the foundation text for a new belief system. We are all products of evolution. Understanding all of the implications of this statement leads to a comprehensive worldview that can answer our universally shared questions: Where did I come from? What am I? What is a good life? How do I know? These questions and many more are answered in this book, before the beliefs of 60 of the top philosophers of history are put to the test in an evaluation of the survival of their fittest ideas. This is an audacious work of research and analysis from author Ed Gibney, who finishes by asking readers to help Evolutionary Philosophy to grow and adapt as mankind's knowledge continues to accumulate. This clear and accessible work promises to help you reevaluate mankind's place in the universe and your place in society.

The purpose of this book is to present a new theory of mutation-driven evolution, which is based on recent advances in genomics and evolutionary developmental biology. This theory asserts that the driving force of evolution is mutation and natural selection is of secondary importance.
A book that resolves the conflict between Darwinism and intelligent design, between science and teleology, by means of Robert F. DeHaan's theory of evolution, called macrodevelopment.
“[A] fascinating read... Contrary to what the title might suggest, this is an upbeat exploration of suicide with a positive message.” --Jeanine Connor, Therapy Today, December, 2018 This thought-provoking volume offers a distinctly human evolutionary analysis of a distinctly human phenomenon: suicide. Its ‘pain and brain’ model posits animal adaptations as the motivator for suicidal escape, and specific human cognitive adaptations as supplying the means , while also providing a plausible explanation for why only a relatively small number of humans actually take their own lives. The author hypothesizes two types of anti-suicide responses, active and reactive mechanisms prompted by the brain as suicide deterrents. Proposed as well is the intriguing prospect that mental disorders such as depression and addiction, long associated with suicidality, may serve as survival measures. Among the topics covered: · Suicide as an evolutionary puzzle. · The protection against suicide afforded to animals and young children. · Suicide as a by-product of pain and human cognition. · Why psychodynamic defenses regulate the experiencing of painful events. · Links between suicidality and positive psychology. · The anti-suicide role of spiritual and religious belief. In raising and considering key questions regarding this most controversial act, The Evolution of Suicide will appeal to researchers across a range of behavioral science disciplines. At the same time, the book’s implications for clinical intervention and prevention will make it useful among mental health professionals and those involved with mental health policy.
Evolution and Geological Significance of Larger Benthic Foraminifera by Marcelle K. BouDagher-Fadel Pdf
The over-all aim of the book is to collect and add to the information published already on the larger benthic foraminifera and in cases their associated algae. Many decades of research in the Far East, to some extent in the Middle East and Americas has lead to numerous articles with confused systematics. Therefore, with the aid of new and precise age dates, from calcareous nannofossils and Sr isotopes, the current schemes of the larger foraminifera in a relatively precise chronostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic framework are revised. This is achieved by: 1) establishing the systematic and occurrences of larger foraminifera from carbonate rocks in successions covering the Carboniferous to Miocene, with careful taxonomic comparison with the known records in the different bioprovinces; 2) illustration fossils of different families and groups at generic levels. 3) illustrations of important species and comparing distributions of different taxa. The inventory of larger benthic foraminifera focuses on the main important groups and the illustration of their genera. Reviews of the global state of the art of each group are complemented with the new data, and the direct palaeobiogeographic relevance of the new data is analyzed. * A unique, comprehensive reference work on the larger foraminifera. * A documentation of the biostratigraphic ranges and palaeoecological significance of larger foraminifera which is essential for understanding many major oil-bearing sedimentary basins. *The palaeogeographic interpretations of the shallow marine late Palaeozoic to Cenozoic world.
Free. Unearned. A gift. God's acceptance comes with no strings attached as you trust in His Son, Jesus. This is the whole gospel. But for 2000 years, Christians-including the first-century Galatians-have often believed they must add performance requirements to the gospel in order to truly earn God's approval. Listen in as the apostle Paul blows the lid off this selfdeception by explaining...: why the Good News becomes bad news when you mix it with rules, how to sniff out people who are promoting a false, "rules-added" gospel, why adding requirements to God's grace actually subtracts from your enjoying Christ, why trust is the only thing needed to receive God's grace and live in it day to day, Galatians shows you that life in God's Spirit, through His grace, is still His plan for freedom-so you can live out your full potential as His child.

In Evolution Impossible, Dr. John Ashton uses discoveries in genetics, biochemistry, geology, radiometric dating, and other scientific disciplines to explain why the theory of evolution is a myth. Regardless of your level of scientific education, you will finish this book able to cite 12 reasons why evolution cannot explain the origin of life.
This book is an intellectual tour de force: a comprehensive Darwinian interpretation of human development. Looking at the entire range of human evolutionary history, Melvin Konner tells the compelling and complex story of how cross-cultural and universal characteristics of our growth from infancy to adolescence became rooted in genetically inherited characteristics of the human brain. All study of our evolution starts with one simple truth: human beings take an extraordinarily long time to grow up. What does this extended period of dependency have to do with human brain growth and social interactions? And why is play a sign of cognitive complexity, and a spur for cultural evolution? As Konner explores these questions, and topics ranging from bipedal walking to incest taboos, he firmly lays the foundations of psychology in biology. As his book eloquently explains, human learning and the greatest human intellectual accomplishments are rooted in our inherited capacity for attachments to each other. In our love of those we learn from, we find our way as individuals and as a species. Never before has this intersection of the biology and psychology of childhood been so brilliantly described. "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution," wrote Dobzhansky. In this remarkable book, Melvin Konner shows that nothing in childhood makes sense except in the light of evolution.
