The Meaning of Human Existence by Edward O. Wilson Pdf

National Book Award Finalist. How did humanity originate and why does a species like ours exist on this planet? Do we have a special place, even a destiny in the universe? Where are we going, and perhaps, the most difficult question of all, "Why?" In The Meaning of Human Existence, his most philosophical work to date, Pulitzer Prize–winning biologist Edward O. Wilson grapples with these and other existential questions, examining what makes human beings supremely different from all other species. Searching for meaning in what Nietzsche once called "the rainbow colors" around the outer edges of knowledge and imagination, Wilson takes his readers on a journey, in the process bridging science and philosophy to create a twenty-first-century treatise on human existence—from our earliest inception to a provocative look at what the future of mankind portends. Continuing his groundbreaking examination of our "Anthropocene Epoch," which he began with The Social Conquest of Earth, described by the New York Times as "a sweeping account of the human rise to domination of the biosphere," here Wilson posits that we, as a species, now know enough about the universe and ourselves that we can begin to approach questions about our place in the cosmos and the meaning of intelligent life in a systematic, indeed, in a testable way. Once criticized for a purely mechanistic view of human life and an overreliance on genetic predetermination, Wilson presents in The Meaning of Human Existence his most expansive and advanced theories on the sovereignty of human life, recognizing that, even though the human and the spider evolved similarly, the poet's sonnet is wholly different from the spider's web. Whether attempting to explicate "The Riddle of the Human Species," "Free Will," or "Religion"; warning of "The Collapse of Biodiversity"; or even creating a plausible "Portrait of E.T.," Wilson does indeed believe that humanity holds a special position in the known universe. The human epoch that began in biological evolution and passed into pre-, then recorded, history is now more than ever before in our hands. Yet alarmed that we are about to abandon natural selection by redesigning biology and human nature as we wish them, Wilson soberly concludes that advances in science and technology bring us our greatest moral dilemma since God stayed the hand of Abraham.

Is There Purpose in Biology? by Denis Alexander Pdf

Atheists assert that the natural world has no meaning or purpose. Dr Denis Alexander, Emeritus Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St. Edmunds College, Cambridge, draws a different conclusion. Not only do recent evolutionary biological data appear inconsistent with the claim that the world is purposeless, but the Christian doctrine of creation has provided and continues to provide both context and stimulus for the study of the natural world. Christians started biology! However, is a belief in an omnipotent, benign Creator consistent with a world of pain and suffering? From a lifetime's study in the biological sciences, Denis Alexander believes that whilst the cost of existence is extremely high, it can nonetheless be squared with the idea of a God of love whose ultimate purposes for humankind render that cost more comprehensible.

Purpose for Existence by Victor O. Nwobodo Pdf

In this book, Victor Nwobodo captures the Christian faith in a whole new light, where facts and faith unite to illuminate the veracity and timelessness of Gods Word. In the first part of this series, Nwobodo demonstrates how Gods Word can be examined and validated with scientific, historical, and archaeological facts. More important still, he established the validity of human existencewhy we are here. He also points out major areas where the church has been wrong in doctrinal stance and ways to avoid such debilitating approaches. Religious dogma has always been a snare to men of true faith, and scientific truth had always proven susceptible to the discoveries of succeeding generations. But Nwobodo has effectively pointed out that the data of science and the actual words of Yahowahs Scripture are not at odds. Rather, they support and illuminate each other; and together, they reveal the beauty of the Creators plan and purpose in ways few of us ever thought possible. Ken Power; Author and Bible researcher, Palmyra, Virginia, USA The author, a celebrated and acclaimed teacher, evangelist, an academic champion who comparatively belongs to the intelligentsia group has proved his academic, theological and philosophical worth in this book.
