Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between science and theology has been a crisis for humanity since Darwin's publication of Origin of Species that affects the very core of scientific and Biblical truths with serious consequences. In this detailed and absorbing book Dr. Cherian provides astounding facts of science that were deciphered in the last 500 years, each of which is recorded in the Biblical Scriptures. Heeding back to the Biblical account of creation, Dr. Cherian takes the readers from the erroneous notion of the origin of the universe without a cause and abiogenesis as the source of life to the latest scientific discoveries that corroborate the Biblical evidence for divine creation of the universe, life and species that dispel Darwinian evolution. The Origins of the Universe, Life and Species sheds much light for a better understanding of the Scriptures that were hidden to many scientists, researchers and students to relate the scientific discoveries that reveal the Biblical truths for a better appreciation of the unknown God who reveals himself through the many scientists and their discoveries. Dr. Cherian, uses all branches of science from astronomy to zoology connecting the dots between science and theology that stretches from the highest of heavens (outer space) to the deepest of ocean floor revealing the unknown God to be the KNOWN GOD.
Download or read book A Division of Spoils written by Paul Scott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conclusion of the “majestic” quartet about the waning days of the British empire in India, “a commanding achievement” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). After exploiting India’s divisions for years, the British are departing in such haste that no one is prepared for the Hindu-Muslim riots of 1947. The twilight of the raj turns bloody. Against the backdrop of the violent partition of India and Pakistan, A Division of the Spoils illuminates one last bittersweet romance, revealing the divided loyalties of the British as they flee, retreat from, or cling to India. “[These] novels are a spectacular explosion of history set off within the lives of a dozen or so Britons and Indians on the edges of vast change . . . If you want to know where the political world we now live in began, Paul Scott’s novels are a place to start.” —The New York Times Book Review “A rich novel of manners . . . Politics, cultism, police and military interrogation—all moving toward inevitable murder and violence—are integral parts of a carefully crafted, complex novel.” —Library Journal
Download or read book Feminist Writings from Ancient Times to the Modern World 2 volumes written by Tiffany K. Wayne and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-17 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collecting more than 200 sources in the global history of feminism, this anthology supplies an insightful record of the resistance to patriarchy throughout human history and around the world. From writings by Enheduana in ancient Mesopotamia (2350 BCE) to the present-day manifesto of the Association of Women for Action and Research in Singapore, Feminist Writings from Ancient Times to the Modern World: A Global Sourcebook and History excerpts more than 200 feminist primary source documents from Africa to the Americas to Australia. Serving to depict "feminism" as much broader—and older—than simply the modern struggle for political rights and equality, this two-volume work provides a more comprehensive and varied record of women's resistance cross-culturally and throughout history. The author's goal is to showcase a wide range of writers, thinkers, and organizations in order to document how resistance to patriarchy has been at the center of social, political, and intellectual history since the infancy of human civilization. This work addresses feminist ideas expressed privately through poetry, letters, and autobiographies, as well as the public and political aspects of women's rights movements.

Is it ready to tell us the why? A photon exists. It is an organized complexity. It is conscience. It provides consciousness to us and to every organized arrangement in the universe, including information, energy, and matter. In fact, it is all the information, energy, and matter in our reality. It has infinite inertia. It is a still spot beyond time and space. The universe is shrunk unto itself. It is the only stationary frame of reference for the universe.

Download or read book Humble before the Void written by Chris Impey and published by Templeton Foundation Press. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book will provide readers with a greater awareness of the spirit of curiosity and inquiry that lies at the heart of the Buddhist tradition, as well as the fruitfulness of maintaining active communication between the Buddhist and scientific communities.” —from the Foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama In Humble before the Void, Impey, a noted astronomer, educator, and author gives us a thoroughly absorbing and engaging account of his journey to Northern India to teach in the first-ever “Science for Monks” leadership program. The program was initiated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to introduce science into the Tibetan Buddhist monastic tradition. In a vivid and compelling narrative, Impey introduces us to a group of exiled Tibetan monks whose charm, tenacity and unbridled enthusiasm for learning is infectious. Impey marvels not only at their enthusiasm, but at their tireless diligence that allows the monks to painstakingly build intricate sand mandalas—that can be swept away in an instant. He observes them as they meticulously count galaxies and notes how their enthusiasm and diligence stands in contrast to many American students who are frequently turned off by science’s inability to deliver easy, immediate payoffs. Because the Buddhist monks have had a limited science education, Impey must devise creative pedagogy. His new students immediately take to his inspired teaching methods, whether it’s the use of balloons to demonstrate the Hubble expansion or donning an Einstein mask to explain the theory of relativity. Humble before the Void also recounts Impey’s experiences outside the classroom, from the monks’ eagerness to engage in pick-up basketball games and stream episodes of hip American sitcoms to the effects on his relationship with the teenage son who makes the trip with him. Moments of profound serenity and beauty in the Himalayas are contrasted with the sorrow of learning that other monks have set themselves on fire to protest the Chinese oppression in Tibet. At the end of the three week program, both the monks and Impey have gained a valuable education. While the monks have a greater understanding and appreciation of science, Impey has acquired greater self- knowledge and a deeper understanding of the nature of learning and teaching in the East and West. This understanding leads to a renewed enthusiasm for making his topic come alive for others.
Download or read book Dreams of the Soul written by Miran Horvat and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What could be better than opening a beautiful book on a long, cold, winter evening and allowing oneself to be comfortably transported on the wings of imagination across different areas of the world and to experience its beauties and its dark sides or, for instance, take a walk through a winter forest, heavily laden with soft snow, which is joyously sparkling under the sunrays that are playfully penetrating the spruce tree branches, and follow a walker explorer and his friend, Bricky, the dog. The two of them are exploring the near and far surroundings of their home, situated in the high, mountain world. The explorer's grandpa lives in that home; in his younger years he was a diplomat, who was sent on important missions throughout the world in order to help solve difficult global problems. Even now, in his old age, he is trying to help the suffering humanity. He is therefore endowed with rich life experience and broad knowledge, which greatly attracts the young explorer. Thus an interesting conversation develops between them, which takes place during the carefree time of winter holidays.
