Download or read book The Prism and the Rainbow written by Joel W. Martin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God or Darwin? It is one of the most contentious conflicts of our time. It is also completely unnecessary, according to Joel W. Martin, an evolutionary biologist and ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church USA. In this slim but powerful book, Martin argues that it is not contradictory to be a practicing, faithful Christian who accepts the science of evolution. Martin finds that much of the controversy in the United States over evolution is manufactured and predicated on a complete—and sometimes willful—misapprehension of basic science. Science and religion, he says, serve different purposes and each seeks to answer questions that the other need never address. He believes that many of the polarizing debates about evolution distract from the deeper lessons of Christianity and that literal, fundamentalist readings of the Bible require the faithful to reject not just evolution but many of science's greatest discoveries. Just as the scientific explanation of rainbows is not meant to refute the biblical "rainbow" story of God’s promise, evolutionary theory is not a ploy to disavow the divine. Indeed, Martin shows that the majority of Christians worldwide accept the theory of evolution. He urges his fellow Christians to refuse to participate in the intellectually stifling debate over evolution and creationism/intelligent design.

Download or read book Unweaving the Rainbow written by Richard Dawkins and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-04-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling author of Science in the Soul. “If any recent writing about science is poetic, it is this” (The Wall Street Journal). Did Sir Isaac Newton “unweave the rainbow” by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as John Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton’s unweaving is the key too much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don’t lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. With the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. This is the book Dawkins was meant to write: A brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn’t), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting. “A love letter to science, an attempt to counter the perception that science is cold and devoid of aesthetic sensibility . . . Rich with metaphor, passionate arguments, wry humor, colorful examples, and unexpected connections, Dawkins’ prose can be mesmerizing.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Brilliance and wit.” —The New Yorker

Book excerpt: We are following the same path along the Milky Way as our sister planet. They are ahead of us. Their present can give us an idea of what our future will be. Today they are afraid of being invaded. It is not an assault by foreign warriors with big armors and fancy lasers. Of course not! It is their brain that is under siege. It is a battle of the souls. They are conscious of the first four levels of their planet: Matter, Plants, Animals and People. What they would like to know is what comes above that. They have a body and a soul. That makes them live in two different worlds. Their neighbor just above is their LEVEL 5 and that's where the problems seem to come from. Their soul is revolting against the dominance of LEVEL 5 like teenagers revolt against authority. Could we be dominated by our own LEVEL 5 like we live under the influence of our weather? Helping our sister planet is the best way we can help ourselves. http://www.BetterThanThinking.com

Download or read book The Jesus Christ Code written by Caesar J. B. Squitti and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While doing research in 1987 Caesar Squitti noticed that many social programs dealing with the traditional family unit had been corrupted. Programs were based on deceptive half-truths; problem was that the definition of half-truth was incorrect. Observations, research and logic suggested that the world definitions of three important concepts, "truth", "half-truth" and "lie" were incorrect. There appeared to be a correlation between the new proposed definition of Truth and the scientific properties of Light. This relationship was labelled, The Jesus Christ Code: The LIGHT: The Rainbow of Truths. It is being proposed that this may indeed be the "original sin" from the Garden of Eden that has remained with us. The Light: The Rainbow of Truths, explores how we can be deceived by truth, and how this is a challenge to critical thinking in our society. Observations in a wide spectrum of related subjects include politics, social programs, health care and religion. This truth about Truth, that truth may lie, will hopefully set us free from this negative dimension to Truth and allow us to think in colors. The Truth can be stranger than fiction. The Jesus Christ Code builds "a bridge" between science and religion. This discovery may be "the key" to unlock the "gates" to the Garden of Eden. This book examines the quote posed by Pontius Pilate, "What is Truth?"

Download or read book Molecular Reaction Dynamics written by Raphael D. Levine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular reaction dynamics is the study of chemical and physical transformations of matter at the molecular level. The understanding of how chemical reactions occur and how to control them is fundamental to chemists and interdisciplinary areas such as materials and nanoscience, rational drug design, environmental and astrochemistry. This book provides a thorough foundation to this area. The first half is introductory, detailing experimental techniques for initiating and probing reaction dynamics and the essential insights that have been gained. The second part explores key areas including photoselective chemistry, stereochemistry, chemical reactions in real time and chemical reaction dynamics in solutions and interfaces. Typical of the new challenges are molecular machines, enzyme action and molecular control. With problem sets included, this book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as being supplementary to chemical kinetics, physical chemistry, biophysics and materials science courses, and as a primer for practising scientists.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great innovations of the Impressionists was their radical use of colour: their application of strokes of complementary or contrasting hues captured the shifting effects of light and foregrounded the nature of vision. Using colour as the lens through which to magnify the movement’s intricacies, this catalogue sweeps us from Manet’s rich blacks, through green and blue landscapes of Monet and Cézanne, to the sensuous pinks of Renoir. Along this journey, scientific discoveries and emerging definitions of modernity are explored, illuminating the profound innovations of the Impressionists and the shifting preconceptions of their art.
