Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking new book--- The Death of Evolution: Restoring Faith and Wonder In A World of Doubt ---reveals how a growing number of scientists see faith and science as complementary, providing an inspirational reaffirmation of faith for you and for Christians the world over. For decades, Darwinian evolution has been taught in classrooms as gospel. But now, 150 years after the publication of Darwin's The Origin of Species, renowned scientists are acknowledging that evolution is not only theory but speculation that has led to false conclusions about creation, science, and culture. There is change in the wind. 'As a scientist, you grow to assume that science will answer everything and that religion is fictional. There are mysteries that science cannot explain ... and divine inspiration may be a rational explanation.' --Dr. Andrew Parker, Biologist, Oxford University The Death of Evolution is not a broadside polemic against Darwinism. Rather, it is an inspirational reaffirmation of faith that will restore your sense of wonder and awe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Evolution of Death, the follow-up to Becoming Immortal: Combining Cloning and Stem-Cell Therapy, also published by SUNY Press, Stanley Shostak argues that death, like life, can evolve. Observing that literature, philosophy, religion, genetics, physics, and gerontology still struggle to explain why we die, Shostak explores the mystery of death from a biological perspective. Death, Shostak claims, is not the end of a linear journey, static and indifferent to change. Instead, he suggests, the current efforts to live longer have profoundly affected our ecological niche, and we are evolving into a long-lived species. Pointing to the artificial means currently used to prolong life, he argues that as we become increasingly juvenilized in our adult life, death will become significantly and evolutionarily delayed. As bodies evolve, the embryos of succeeding generations may be accumulating the stem cells that preserve and restore, providing the resources necessary to live longer and longer. If trends like this continue, Shostak contends, future human beings may join the ranks of other animals with indefinite life spans.

Book excerpt: Mr. Johnston confesses that he used to be a believer in Evolution. But reading a book on the subject opened his eyes, and after much study he wrote this present book. He gives both scientific findings and Catholic teaching to show that the theory of Evolution is incompatible with both Catholic teaching and common sense. His reason for studying Evolution, as he quotes one eminent writer, is that "Every attack on the Christian Faith made today has, as its basis, the doctrine of Evolution."

Download or read book The Revolutionary Origins of Life and Death written by Pierre M. Durand and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of why an individual would actively kill itself has long been an evolutionary mystery. Pierre M. Durand’s ambitious book answers this question through close inspection of life and death in the earliest cellular life. As Durand shows us, cell death is a fascinating lens through which to examine the interconnectedness, in evolutionary terms, of life and death. It is a truism to note that one does not exist without the other, but just how does this play out in evolutionary history? These two processes have been studied from philosophical, theoretical, experimental, and genomic angles, but no one has yet integrated the information from these various disciplines. In this work, Durand synthesizes cellular studies of life and death looking at the origin of life and the evolutionary significance of programmed cellular death. The exciting and unexpected outcome of Durand’s analysis is the realization that life and death exhibit features of coevolution. The evolution of more complex cellular life depended on the coadaptation between traits that promote life and those that promote death. In an ironic twist, it becomes clear that, in many circumstances, programmed cell death is essential for sustaining life.

Book excerpt: For over a century, evolutionists have been deliberately interpreting all scientific data on origins to fit Darwin's theory of evolution. For instance, although the evidence in the living world and in all reliable fossil deposits shows abrupt gaps, evolutionists interpret these gaps as missing links to justify the numerous transformations that the theory predicts. The evolutionist paradigm recently suffered a fatal blow when empirical science ripped off its chapter on junk DNA, which Darwinists have idolized as the evolutionary key in unfolding ancestral history and thus the unique testimony against a purely creationist worldview. All along, 'just-so' explanations have persistently been tendered to camouflage the discrepancies. In Farewell to Darwinian Evolution, Michael Ebifegha presents a historical account of God's creation patent and seal and shows that they corroborate the scientific evidence. Arguing that a report claiming both invention and ownership of the cosmos must override any theory relating to events in the cosmos that were never witnessed, Ebifegha insists it is time to bid farewell to Darwinian transformational evolution (macroevolution). The focus in science, he stresses, must be limited to microevolution-the aspect that underpins modern advances in medicine, agriculture, and selective breeding. Dr. Michael Ebifegha is a scholar with international experience. He is a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria (M.Sc. Applied Geophysics); Carleton University, Canada (M.Sc. Physics); and the University of Toronto (B.Ed., Ph.D. Physics). He is currently a full-time science and mathematics instructor at the Toronto District School Board. Ebifegha is the author of The Darwinian Delusion Creation or Evolution? and most recently 4th: Refuting the Myth of Evolutionism and Exposing the Folly of the Clergy Letters.

Book excerpt: Get ready for surprises! Discover the foundation of creation and the blueprint of our universe. Author Rebecca Lynne explains it with a blend of scientific theories and the symbolic language of Genesis. Amazingly, quantum physics, holograms, DNA structure, and sound power are found in a story of epic proportions, with you in the center. Genesis is simple physics! Could your body be a hologram? Are you involved in a quantum jump? This interpretation removes all separation between God and man and among all religions and nations; it solves the mystery of all mysteriesthat of life and death. The reason for evolution and the means by which it proceeds is made clear. The impact of Jesus Christ is defined from a scientific viewpoint that broadens his true mission. Lynne offers an alternative to traditional biblical thought and intertwines her personal story of how the Secret Triangle was revealed to her and changed her lifes purpose. A teacher of metaphysics for over forty years and an ordained minister in the Unity Movement, Rebecca Lynne is now in her eighties but still going strong. She now lives in Baltimore, Maryland.

Book excerpt: There is nothing more life-affirming than understanding death in all its forms. Natural selection depends on death; little would evolve without it. Every animal on Earth is shaped by its presence and fashioned by its spectre. We are all survivors of starvation, drought, volcanic eruptions, meteorites, plagues, parasites, predators, freak weather events, tussles and scraps, and our bodies are shaped by these ancient events. Some animals live for just a few hours as adults, others prefer to kill themselves rather than live unnecessarily for longer than they are needed, and there are a number of animals that can live for centuries. There are parasites that drive their hosts to die awful deaths, and parasites that manipulate their hosts to live longer, healthier lives. There is death in life. Amongst all of this, there is us, the upright ape; perhaps the first animal in the history of the universe fully conscious that death really is going to happen to us all in the end. With a narrative featuring a fish with a fake eye, the oldest animal in the world, the immortal jellyfish and some of the world's top death-investigating biologists, Death on Earth explores the never-ending cycle of death and the impact death has on the living, and muses on how evolution and death affect us every single day. Why are we so weird about death? Where does this fear come from? Why are we so afraid of ageing? And how might knowledge of ageing in other animals help us live better lives, free of the diseases of old age?

Book excerpt: “Magisterial and uplifting . . . A brilliant, grandscale sampling of sixty-five million years of human evolution . . . It shows the sweep and grandeur of life in its unrelenting course.” —The Denver Post Stretching from the distant past into the remote future, from primordial Earth to the stars, Evolution is a soaring symphony of struggle, extinction, and survival; a dazzling epic that combines a dozen scientific disciplines and a cast of unforgettable characters to convey the grand drama of evolution in all its awesome majesty and rigorous beauty. Sixty-five million years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, there lived a small mammal, a proto-primate of the species Purgatorius. From this humble beginning, Baxter traces the human lineage forward through time. The adventure that unfolds is a gripping odyssey governed by chance and competition, a perilous journey to an uncertain destination along a route beset by sudden and catastrophic upheavals. It is a route that ends, for most species, in stagnation or extinction. Why should humanity escape this fate? Praise for Evolution “Spectacular.”—The New York Times Book Review “Strong imagination, a capacity for awe, and the ability to think rigorously about vast and final things abound in the work of Stephen Baxter. . . . [Evolution] leaves the reader with a haunting portrayal of the distant future.”—Times Literary Supplement “A breath of fresh air . . . The miracle of Evolution is that it makes the triumph of life, which is its story, sound like the real story.”—The Washington Post Book World

Book excerpt: “This brilliant book is a virtual Voyage of the Beagle! Carl Zimmer shows, with the benefit of a hundred and fifty years of hindsight, how right Darwin was.” —Steve Jones, author of Darwin’s Ghost Darwin’s The Origin of Species was breathtaking—beautifully written, staunchly defended, defiantly radical. Yet it emerged long before modern genetics, molecular biology, and contemporary findings in paleontology. In this remarkable book, a rich and up-to-date view of evolution is presented that explores the far-reaching implications of Darwin’s theory. At a time when controversies surrounding creationism and education are bursting into public consciousness, this book’s emphasis on the power, significance, and relevance of evolution will make it a catalyst for public debate. Evolution marks a turning point in the 150-year debate and will be an indispensable asset to any serious reader with an interest in the life sciences, a passion for truth in education, or a concern for the future of the planet. “The evolution of life over four billion years is a grand narrative, full of plots, intrigues, surprises and deaths. Carl Zimmer tells the tale with zest and style.” —Matt Ridley, New York Times–bestselling author “Proceeding from the flurry of preparations for Darwin’s famous voyage, Carl Zimmer leads us off on a journey of our own, tracking the development—and the implications—of one of the most powerful ideas in the biological sciences.” —Scientific American “Science writer Zimmer does a superb job of providing a sweeping overview of most of the topics critical to understanding evolution, presenting his material from both a historical and a topical perspective.” —Publishers Weekly “Popular science that will truly be popular.” —Booklist

CHAPTER VI THE METHOD OF POSITIVE BENEVOLENCE IN THE LAW OF DEATH IN approaching this more personal part of the problem of mortality, we shall seek first to apprehend the utilities of physical death for the immortality of the human race as a whole; for if we succeed in grasping the nearer end of any great principle of life, our thought may swing itself up by it to higher and more fruitful conceptions of the truth. Ignoring for the moment our personal desires of life, and man's many sorrows, it will prove of advantage if we may gain some clear, broad view of the utility for our humanity, as a whole, of the natural law of death. If we succeed occasionally in seeing things as a whole (as a prophet once said), it will become less difficult for us to understand and to accept with cheerfulness our personal place and part in an order of providence which in its largeness and completeness is seen to be benign. The author has indicated the usefulness of this method of faith in his Personal Creeds, pp. 55 seq. One of these first more evident utilities of death for human life as a whole consists in the immense enlargement, through its means, of this earth as a field for the birth and training of a race of immortals. In natural history one of the vital questions concerns the field for life; whether it is large and rich, or sheltered enough to secure the maintenance and spread of. vegetation, and to afford animal life ample opportunity for its increase. If the field is crowded or barren, or if it lies exposed to destructive elements, then among the plants and animals the struggle will become severe; and the possible amount of the variety, beauty, and joyousness of life in that too limited field will be reduced to narrow limits. Upon the same field of...
