    Ten Misunderstandings About Evolution a Very Brief Guide for the Curious and the Confused by Dr

    Ten Misunderstandings About Evolution A Very Brief Guide for the Curious and the Confused By Dr. Mike Webster, Dept. of Neurobiology and Behavior, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Cornell University ([email protected]); February 2010 The current debate over evolution and “intelligent design” (ID) is being driven by a relatively small group of individuals who object to the theory of evolution for religious reasons. The debate is fueled, though, by misunderstandings on the part of the American public about what evolutionary biology is and what it says. These misunderstandings are exploited by proponents of ID, intentionally or not, and are often echoed in the media. In this booklet I briefly outline and explain 10 of the most common (and serious) misunderstandings. It is impossible to treat each point thoroughly in this limited space; I encourage you to read further on these topics and also by visiting the websites given on the resource sheet. In addition, I am happy to send a somewhat expanded version of this booklet to anybody who is interested – just send me an email to ask for one! What are the misunderstandings? 1. Evolution is progressive improvement of species Evolution, particularly human evolution, is often pictured in textbooks as a string of organisms marching in single file from “simple” organisms (usually a single celled organism or a monkey) on one side of the page and advancing to “complex” organisms on the opposite side of the page (almost invariably a human being). We have all seen this enduring image and likely have some version of it burned into our brains.

VOGEL ★ A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice ★ A Washington Post Best Book of the Year ★ An Economist Best Book of the Year ★ A Wall Street Journal Book of the Year No one in the twentieth century had a greater impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist—the pragmatic, disciplined force behind China’s radical economic, technological, and social transformation. “Vogel has gone to enormous lengths to document his subject…Vogel’s painstaking research provides plenty of fascinating detail…On the ways through which Deng set about the enormous task of rebuild - ing the gutted economy, shattered by decades of turmoil under Mao Zedong, Vogel is exhaustive.” —SIMON ELEGANT, TIME “Deng led a long and remarkable life, packed with drama and global significance, one that deserves to be dissected in detail…There’s no question that Vogel has gone farther than anyone else to date in telling Deng’s story. For that he is to be applauded; there is a whole hoard of valuable material here that we probably would not have gained otherwise.” —CHRISTIAN CARYL, FOREIGN POLICY “Ezra Vogel’s encyclopedic Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China is the most exhaustive English retelling of Deng’s life. Vogel…seems to have interviewed or found the memoirs of nearly every person who spoke with Deng, and has painstakingly re-created a detailed and intimate chronology of Deng’s roller-coaster career.” —JOSHUA KURLANTZICK, THE NATION “From arguably the most important scholar of East Asia, this is an important book on the force behind China’s transformation in the late twentieth century, whose full fruits are visible only today.

    Science, Religion, and Values

    Science, Religion, and Values Institution: St. Francis University Instructor: Rosemary Bertocci SYLLABUS WEEK 1: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND RELIGION. The goal is to examine and differentiate positions on ways of relating science and religion in order to establish a starting-point for discussion. The main perspectives Dr. Bertocci will introduce are: A. Barbour’s representative figures for conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration. B. Gould’s NOMA (respectful noninterference), with emphasis on historical reasons for conflict. C. Marty’s sine qua non for communication and interaction: (a) differentiate modes of inquiry and discourse, (b) promote a mutual respect across disciplines, and (c) recognize that the consciences of scientists and theologians demand “a lifelong changing in behavior” (conversatio morum) to match “a lifelong changing in intellect” (conversatio intellectus). D. McGrath’s account of interaction, with focus on its historical, theological, philosophical, and scientific aspects, and an explanation of the “anthropic principle.” E. Templeton’s introduction to humility theology, characterizing foundations for future research. F. Lonergan’s generalized empirical method, offering a key to unified science: Scientists and authentic theologians follow the same pattern of cognition – experiencing, questioning, direct insight, conceiving or formulating, reflective questioning, reflective insight, judging (with ongoing revision of judgments). Lonergan differentiates (a) authentic appropriation of authentic tradition, (b) unauthentic appropriation of unauthentic tradition, (c) authentic appropriation of unauthentic tradition, and (d) unauthentic appropriation of authentic tradition.

Gould on God Can religion and science be happily reconciled? Science defines the natural world, and religion the moral world. On one hand, the inclusion of dozens of striking color paintings and an introductory essay by Stephen Jay Gould on the history of iconography in the life sciences suggest a coffee-table book on biological illustration. This book was published in Rocks of Ages Science and Religion in the Fullness of Life 1st edition worth reading, but critically at the least. I have to admit, I do not have a background in religious studies, so I can't provide a sufficient critique here. More than any other modern scientists, Stephen Jay Gould has opened up to millions the wonders of evolutionary biology. Science defines the natural world; religion our moral world in recognition of their separate spheres of influence. He campaigned against creationism and proposed that science and religion should be considered two compatible, complementary fields, or "magisteria," whose authority does not overlap. He denies any conflict between science and religion and argues that science has, remarkably enough, recently vindicated the claims of religion.

This large file comines the indeces of all ten volumes of Stephen Jay Gould’s collections of essays reprinted from Natural History magazine. The goal is to reduce the effort to locate the reference to a particular person, item, or event; and similarly, to allow the reader to find all references to (say) Luis Alvarez in all volumes in one place. The row of hyperlinks will take you directly to the beginning of each letter’s section. To see this list at all times, click on the “bookmarks” icon in Adobe (found on the upper left of the screen). The file itself is also searchable, so you may seek the key word of your interest directly. As with all of these tasks, the identifying nomenclature is given as three or four letters followed by a number. The letters identify the volume; ESD refers to “Ever Since Darwin,” for example. (The entire sequence is listed below, in chronological order.) Similarly, the number refers to the order in which the essay appears in that volume, following Gould’s own numbering scheme. For ease of identification, I include the essay’s title as well. ESD: Ever Since Darwin. TPT: The Panda’s Thumb. HTHT: Hen’s Teeth and Horse’s Toes. TFS: The Flamingo’s Smile.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Dawkins vs Gould Survival of the Fittest by Kim Sterelny Kim Sterelny’s Dawkins vs. Gould: Survival of the Fittest. It isn’t worth my while to debate every ambitious Darwinist who wants to try hard at ridiculing the opposition, so my general policy is that Darwinists have to put a significant figure at risk before I will agree to a debate. That means specifically [Richard] Dawkins or [Stephen Jay] Gould, or someone of like stature and public visibility. So wrote Phillip E. Johnson, former University of California at Berkeley law professor and founder of the “Intelligent Design” movement, in April 2001. Had either Dawkins or Gould met his challenge, it would have been a coup for the then-decade-old movement. After all, such well- respected minds would only entertain the most serious of challenges. Intelligent Design (ID) theorists could therefore claim some measure of victory by having the debate at all; however, because of their respective pedigrees, Dawkins or Gould would be held to higher standards. For precisely that reason, the two biologists resolved to deny Johnson and his supporters their desired platform: in a draft of an open letter to be co-signed by Gould, Dawkins responded, “. we shall cultivate our evolutionary gardens, occasionally engaging in the more exacting and worthwhile task of debating each other.” (This episode is recounted in Dawkins’ collection of short works, “A Devil’s Chaplain,” in the essay entitled “Unfinished Correspondence with a Darwinian Heavyweight.”) The task may not only be an exacting and worthwhile one, but also one to inflame intellectual passions and fuel an academic rivalry.
