A short summary of this paper. Download Download PDF. Translate PDF. Why Evolution Is True is his first book on evolution for a general audience. The back dustcover of Why Evolution Is True contains brief comments on the book by two eminent evolutionary biologists, Edward O. Wilson and Richard Dawkins, and they are worth quoting here.
For anyone who wishes a clear, well-written explanation of evolution by one of the foremost scientists working on the subject, Why Evolution Is True should be your choice. Edward O. I should now update my statement. Richard Dawkins In nine chapters about pages Coyne clearly presents the main lines of evidence for evolution, showing why modern science recognizes evolutionary theory to be just as well R. Good established as any other important scientific theory.
It is easy to imagine Professor Coyne using these quotes in the evolution courses he teaches at the University of Chicago, helping students better understand and feel the human side of Darwin in particular and of science in general. In Chap. Coyne identifies six components of modern evolutionary theory: evolution, gradualism, speciation, common ancestry, natural selection, and nonselective mechanisms genetic drift.
Of these, natural selection is what Darwin considered his greatest intel- lectual achievement. Common ancestry, where humans are concerned, was considered by religious believers to be highly objectionable as they believed their god had created us apart from other animals.
This kind of religious belief continues years after the publication of On the Origin of Species. For these and other predictions, many examples are provided throughout the remainder of the book. Yet, as this succinct and important book shows, that evidence is vast, varied, and magnificent, and drawn from many disparate fields of science.
The very latest research is uncovering a stream of evidence revealing evolution in action - from the actual observation of a species splitting into two, to new fossil discoveries, to the deciphering of the evidence stored in our genome. Why Evolution is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, palaeontology, geology, molecular biology, anatomy, and development to demonstrate the 'indelible stamp' of the processes first proposed by Darwin.
It is a crisp, lucid, and accessible statement that will leave no one with an open mind in any doubt about the truth of evolution. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion—including faith, dogma, and revelation—leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions. Coyne irrefutably demonstrates the grave harm—to individuals and to our planet—in mistaking faith for fact in making the most important decisions about the world we live in.
Speciation Author : Jerry A. Speciation is designed to provide a unified, critical and up-to-date overview of the field. Aimed at professional biologists, graduate students and advanced undergraduates, it covers both plants and animals and deals with all relevant areas of research, including biogeography, field work, systematics, theory, and genetic and molecular studies.
It gives special emphasis to topics that are either controversial or the subject of active research, including sympatric speciation, reinforcement, the role of hybridization in speciation, the search for genes causing reproductive isolation, and mounting evidence for the role of natural and sexual selection in the origin of species. It identifies and analyzes a wide variety of issues, including some contemporary sacred cows. First, the book considers what is fact and what is fiction in the primary stories contained in Judaism's foundational texts.
Then, drawing on Jewish ethical teachings, it seeks to determine how Judaism and science can inform each other with respect to a broad range of contemporary issues, from abortion and allergies to vaccinations and violence with firearms.
Finally, it peeks into the future to address issues that Judaism and science are just now beginning to discuss, such as an exotheology for aliens on distant planets, a Jewdroid who seeks acceptance in a shul, and even the fate of the universe itself.
When Judaism Meets Science addresses readers of all persuasions--regardless of denomination and whether a believer or not--as the author builds a case, with specific recommendations, for the value of a reality-based Judaism, one grounded on both traditional ethics and empirical evidence that can resonate with the educated adults of Israel. The truth is that Darwin's ideas are based upon faulty science, and that creationists have solid evidence to support their claims.
Finally, a brilliant defense of Genesis and the Bible's teaching about origins is waiting for those who are soon to understand how Darwinism is fraudulent faith masquerading as science. Authors Joe White and Nicholas Comninellis have a passion for truth, and for sharing it with students and their parents.
In Darwin's Demise,they succeed in showing why real science is burning down the House of Darwin. Please note that the tricks or techniques listed in this pdf are either fictional or claimed to work by its creator. We do not guarantee that these techniques will work for you.
Some of the techniques listed in Why Evolution Is True may require a sound knowledge of Hypnosis, users are advised to either leave those sections or must have a basic understanding of the subject before practicing them.

Loved each and every part of this book. I will definitely recommend this book to science, non fiction lovers.
