Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discussions on Climate and Cosmology There are many of the topics discussed which I could have wished to consider more at length, but advancing years and declining health constrain me to husband my remaining energies for work in a wholly different field of inquiry - work which has never lost for me its fascination, but which has been laid aside for upwards of a quarter of a century.

Would prove the correctness of the scriptural ao count of the creation of the world, from the evi dence in nature, under natural law as cause and eject, and thus sustain the Bible in the account of the creation by outside proofs.In the light of recent scientific developments, the words of the late Bishop Simpson seems al most prophetic; the revolution he foresaw m science is come; error is dissipated, and the truth of the Bible narration established as a scientific proposition, in the light of natural law, as evidenced in nature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meteorology Considered in Its Connexion With Astronomy, Climate, and the Geographical Distribution of Animals and Plants, Equally as With the Seasons and Changes of the Weather As' few who have turned their attention to meteor ology' are ignorant of its extensive relations with science and the general interests of society; it were superfluous, in this place, to enter into a detail of these relations. And if in addition we take into ac count that it' was only by discoveries in meteorology, the solution of the grand problem of science, 'viz. That of the true theory of the world, could have been atany'time arrived at: instead of detracting from the importance of this science in other respects, it thus comes forward invested with additional claims, and a higher title to our consideration, than all. The others. And having in the following pages, as I trust, sufficiently shown the truth of these assumptions.

Download or read book How to Talk to a Science Denier written by Lee McIntyre and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we change the minds of science deniers? Encounters with flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, coronavirus truthers, and others. "Climate change is a hoax--and so is coronavirus." "Vaccines are bad for you." These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed--they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories. How can we convince such people otherwise? How can we get them to change their minds and accept the facts when they don't believe in facts? In this book, Lee McIntyre shows that anyone can fight back against science deniers, and argues that it's important to do so. Science denial can kill. Drawing on his own experience--including a visit to a Flat Earth convention--as well as academic research, McIntyre outlines the common themes of science denialism, present in misinformation campaigns ranging from tobacco companies' denial in the 1950s that smoking causes lung cancer to today's anti-vaxxers. He describes attempts to use his persuasive powers as a philosopher to convert Flat Earthers; surprising discussions with coal miners; and conversations with a scientist friend about genetically modified organisms in food. McIntyre offers tools and techniques for communicating the truth and values of science, emphasizing that the most important way to reach science deniers is to talk to them calmly and respectfully--to put ourselves out there, and meet them face to face.

Download or read book James Lovelock written by John Gribbin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1972, when James Lovelock first proposed the Gaia hypothesis--the idea that the Earth is a living organism that maintains conditions suitable for life--he was ridiculed by the scientific establishment. Today Lovelock's revolutionary insight, though still extremely controversial, is recognized as one of the most creative, provocative, and captivating scientific ideas of our time. James Lovelock tells for the first time the whole story of this maverick scientist's life and how it served as a unique preparation for the idea of Gaia. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Lovelock himself and unprecedented access to his private papers, John and Mary Gribbin paint an intimate and fascinating portrait of a restless, uniquely gifted freethinker. In a lifetime spanning almost a century, Lovelock has followed a career path that led him from chemistry, to medicine, to engineering, to space science. He worked for the British secret service and contributed to the success of the D-Day landings in World War II. He was a medical experimenter and an accomplished inventor. And he was working with NASA on methods for finding possible life on Mars when he struck upon the idea of Gaia, conceiving of the Earth as a vast, living, self-regulating system. Deftly framed within the context of today's mounting global-warming crisis, James Lovelock traces the intertwining trajectories of Lovelock's life and the famous idea it brought forth, which continues to provoke passionate debate about the nature and future of life on our planet.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rational Cosmology, or the Eternal Principles and the Necessary Laws of the Universe There must somewhere be a position from whence it may clearly be seen, that the universe has laws which are necessarily determined by immutable and eternal principles. Nothing in nature, and equally so not na ture itself, can be made intelligible except as it has been subjected to rational principle, and such principle must both have been, and been made controlling, in the very origination Of nature, or nature must forever be with out meaning 'or end. That principle, then, to an all perfect insight, must disclose within itself what the facts must be, and no induction Of facts can at all be needed by the absolute reason.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cosmic Commonwealth The Great War has revealed to us the hollowness of the materialistic civilization on which we had prided ourselves. The social order which our armies and police forces had maintained is breaking up. In many lands settled government is giving place to anarchy, and the semblance of prosperity to the reality of misery and want. Even in those which are more fortunate the turmoil is great, and there is a growing sense of insecurity and a vague foreboding of disaster. We are being borne hither and thither by swirling cross-currents of hatred, jealousy, greed, ambition and self-will. There are other currents than these - larger, deeper, saner, purer. But in this world-wide crisis the more turbulent currents have risen to the surface; and human society has become a veritable Maelstrom, strewn with the wreckage of many institutions and traditions, and threatening shipwreck to many more. No wonder that the idea of social reconstruction is in the forefront of our thoughts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Living Universe Classic Reprint written by Henry Truro Bray and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Living Universe It 1s not at all probable that the author will ever write another book; nor would he be inclined to publish this, did he not feel that he owes it to the world. Socrates told the Court that he was moved by the indwelling Spirit to teach as he had taught; and thousands of others before and since have felt compelled to give utterance to thoughts not altogether originating in themselves. And if it is true that the Universal Mind may thus cause to vibrate the brain or the soul of the devout and sensitive scholar who, in realms of thought where positive science gives no de terminate answer to his question, having used 1n vain all known philosophic and scientific aids, has devoutly and earnestly attempted to give voice to the silent whisperings of the Universal Self, who is never far from any of his creatures, surely it is neither a conceit nor blasphemous nor irreligious nor irrational for the writer to hope and believe that help at times may thus have been given him. It is now about twenty-two years since the writer was deposed from the Episcopal Church. He still has no hard feeling against the bishop who deposed him, nor does he feel any repentance for having set forth teachings that led to his deposition; nor will he ever forget the great kindness of those to whom he ministered.
