Download or read book The Language of God written by Francis Collins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

Download or read book The Book of Why written by Judea Pearl and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

Download or read book Last Call Humanity Hanging From A Cross Of Iron And Our Escape To Another Planet written by Daniel R Altschuler and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tries to look at human thought and action from a scientific perspective, and in the process, acquaints the reader with essential concepts about science and its history. It takes a broad look at our present troubles without overlooking some crucial historical, religious, and political causes but places science at the center stage.The author applies what he has learned throughout his career to go beyond science. After an introduction setting the scene and a review of the 'scientific temper' and the inexcusable ignorance of science by some leaders and many followers, the author turns his sharp vision to look at other issues. The most significant challenges are critical and global: climate change caused by our activities, stockpiles of nuclear weapons that are a constant threat, population growth, and increasing inequality at all levels. These problems do have a profound ethical character and threaten to end forever with our misery, producing a 'catastrophic convergence'.Written with rigor for all readers, with many references and infused with relevant quotations, the author's message is clear: we need to change our ways drastically and urgently, now or never. But he offers not much in terms of a solution, something done by many authors to sweeten the pill, because as he argues, beyond lofty declarations, there is no real solution as the clock runs down, leading to his dystopian view of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing Corrupt Science. I spent a lifetime uncovering information science hides for centuries. My approach to science is revealing, to the point and new. It is your choice, which you wish to read to get the same ideas about a new approach to stars, galaxies and the Universe. Read how the cosmos works when using the formula Kepler gave us. In these books I make a financially rewarding offer of investment to prospective investors. From where I stand my work is too big or I am too small to bring about the awareness I have to provoke to allow change in science to come about. I need your help to get my work advertised so that people can see what my work entails. In this there are 4 identical books namely: To Inform; To Reveal and To Expose and Uncovering. The 1 is better developed than the other or the 1 is less informing than the other. The page numbers will tell which is which. Reading which one is your choice because we all can cope with different volumes of information and divulge more or less facts given as new information.

Download or read book The Human Thoughts written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoughts are a natural result of your cognitive activity, and they may be ideas, knowledge, beliefs, impressions, stereotypes, memories, needs, feelings, information, suggestions, and much more. Thoughts are meant to determine directly your behavior throughout life, while you fulfil your needs. Thoughts make the difference if you are successful or not in life, they determine directly your life, and if you happen to neglect, ignore, confuse, or forget them in any manner, then you fail. But aren’t thoughts everywhere, simply popping up in your mind, you use them as they come, and this is how you think and act in life? No, not exactly, since right now, there is this extraordinary idea just about to happen in the world, and it can make you rich beyond your expectations, if you can only generate it yourself, and if you are the first to do so. But can you? Because if you cannot control your reasoning and therefore the generation of your own thoughts at will, then can you actually reason? Or who exactly does the reasoning for you, if you cannot even control it? Can you identify it? Can you model it? Do you know where thoughts come from? No, we do not know it yet, or this is what psychology states, but can you understand your thoughts and entire cognition even without the help of psychology? Do you know what thoughts are and how the human thinking generates them, along with all needs, ideas, feelings, impressions, memories, and decisions? Some thoughts are conscious and some unconscious, and many times, it seems that even the conscious cognitive activity remains uncontrolled, not through human limitations, but through human lack of understanding of the human mind and of the entire human cognitive activity. There is more to know about thoughts, reasoning, intelligence, and behavior, and we will see it throughout the book, along with everything necessary to manage thoughts and thinking, in all circumstances. Because you cannot understand anything in life at a higher cognitive level, if you do not understand the human thoughts, for the simple reason that you use thoughts throughout your reasoning, in order to understand everything in life, including yourself, the world, and your place and meaning in life and in the world. Even more, thoughts in general, and your thoughts in particular, define your reasoning and intelligences, since intelligences count for the world through their reasoning, thoughts, and interconnectivity, just the way living beings count for the world through their acts, behavior, and interconnectivity. Thoughts construct your cognitive system, and they develop you wholly throughout life, through the gradual improvement of your cognitive system. This is why you are who you are, because you think the way you do, because you have the thoughts that you do, and certainly, because you think exactly the thoughts that you do. Throughout this book, we integrate thoughts within the body, brain, mind, and intelligences, studying them in all details and from all perspectives. We study how thoughts originate, develop, and are controlled at the cognitive and social levels. If you want to know more about thoughts, ideas, feelings, learning, and reasoning in general, this book is for you.

Download or read book A Conspiracy in Science in Progress written by Peet Schutte and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CONSPIRACY in SCIENCE in PROGRESS You are going to read about how science applies a system of mind control and thought processing. Every conspiracy that Science ever thought up such as the Critical Density Conspiracy or the Dark Energy Conspiracy, or any conspiracy connected to science is in place to protect this theory that those teaching science hides from anyone outside physics from becoming known. The Mother Conspiracy is in place so that students in physics are brainwashed by instigating the deliberate sanctioning of mind control on students through their practising of enforcing thought control they unleash on students. I prove that the Mother Conspiracy is in place. I reveal the Mother Conspiracy and I show why it is in place. I show how every student including you reading this has been brainwashed to believe science is true and to believe in science. I prove the Universe is formed as singularity and contains only singularity in many forms thereof.

Download or read book THE WHISTLE BLOWER ON CORRUPT SCIENCE written by P.S.J. (Peet) Schutte and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Whistle-Blower on Corrupt Science Science went corrupt the day Edmund Halley in 1705 told the world he used the physics formula of his friend Isaac Newton to calculate the route that Halley?s comet took and the time it would arrive. This was where science went crooked, a position that went on ever since because that same dishonesty is still present in Newtonian science. Halley calculated the time periods since 1066 at the battle of Hastings and found a comet was mentioned every seventy-six years. This was very ordinary for a man of his class so he had to get far cleverer than backdate history to get a time frame. So he really got clever and conspired with the biggest fraud in science ever since; the man that stole all the physics Doctor Hooks invented, the man who even got Kepler? figures wrong, the man called Isaac Newton. Halley said he used the formula of Newton to calculate the route the comet took. This says he used mass to calculate how the comet came to the sun. According to Newton?s science, the sun?s mass pulled the comet and the comet?s mass pulled right back and in this way the comet came to the sun. I don?t go into the comet as such in this book but I do in other books. In this book I show how Newtonian science started to go corrupt in 1705 with one conspiracy to cheat and became the corrupt myth it now developed into. How do I know Halley did not use the mass pull mass idea? It is because if he did so, then how did he calculate that the comet was cyclic or that it returns every seventy-six years? If mass pulled the comet to the sun what then pushed to comet back into outer space? His big ambition was to prove the comet comes and goes, but if mass makes the comet come what pushes the comet back? You know what is the biggest fraud that came to be called Newtonian science? The most brilliant minds on earth this past three hundred years failed to asks this simple question: if mass pulls the comet closer what pushes the comet away? If mass forms the force of pulling and pulled the comet closer then what pushed the comet back into the darkness of the beyond. How did he know the mass of Halley?s comet? Nobody then asked questions. No one asks uneasy question?except me. I show the fake science we have. Newton and Halley got away with corrupt science. If you wish to prove wrong I challenge you to prove that Newton is correct. Today just like it was and keeping the trend go on, modern Newtonians gets away with even more corrupt science than anyone can imagine.

Download or read book Organic Intelligence O I written by Mike Hockney and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell, author of 1984, worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation for two years. Reflecting on his experience at the BBC, Orwell said, “Its atmosphere is something halfway between a girls’ school and a lunatic asylum and all we are doing at present is useless, or slightly worse than useless.” Many decades later, the BBC is exactly the same. How should we describe the places developing new A.I.? Halfway between Comic Con and a lunatic asylum? People are transfixed by Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). They have forgotten the power of Organic Intelligence (O.I.). Humans became masters of the world and landed men on the moon because of O.I. It was O.I. that thought up A.I. And even greater wonders are possible. Each of us has an unconscious mind with O.I. potentialities barely guessed at. The unconscious is the supreme terra incognita. What lies at the end of that land is the domain of gods, reachable by Bifröst, the sublime rainbow bridge. Discover the Creative Mind, the supra-liminal mind, the subliminal mind, the subjective mind, the bicameral mind. Did the gods once speak directly to us? Find out about synaptic pruning, the triune brain, the evolutionary theories of Lamarck and Wallace. Are their theories superior to Darwinism? The refrigerator mother, the malignant narcissist, the lack of secure base, the mother complex, autism ... how does it all fit together? Ant trails, stem cells, neural nets. What’s it all about? Is the local body controlled by a non-local mind? What is the transmission theory of consciousness? Is the brain a transceiver or a bi-directional transduction device? Is it a filter for cosmic consciousness? Are telepathy and telekinesis possible? Follow the pheromone trail of the ants to Golgonooza, the City of the Imagination, where the Magic Mirror is kept. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the smartest of all? Can we optimize the mind? Is the optimized mind none other than God? Who will pay the Ferryman? Will you always be trapped on the near side of the river? You’ll never make it to the Other Side. Come inside and discover how far from organic intelligence A.I. truly is. Discover how amazing your own mind is, both consciously and unconsciously. Orwell said, “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” If thought optimizes language, language can also optimize thought. Does “God” think in perfect language? Is that what perfect O.I. is?

Download or read book Silent Scourge Children Pollution and Why Scientists Disagree written by Madison Colleen F. Moore Professor of Psychology University of Wisconsin and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003-03-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does pollution impact our daily quality of life? What are the effects of pollution on children's development? Why do industry and environmental experts disagree about what levels of pollutants are safe? In this clearly written book, Moore traces the debates around five key pollutants--lead, mercury, noise, pesticides, and dioxins and PCBs--and provides an overview of the history of each pollutant, basic research findings, and the scientific and regulatory controversies surrounding it. Moore focuses, in particular, on the impact of these pollutants on children's psychological development--- their intellectual functioning, behavior, and emotional states. Only by understanding the impact of pollution can we prevent future negative effects on quality of life and even pollution disasters from occurring.
