Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails)
De (autor) Matt Young, Paul Strode Cuvânt înainte de Kevin Padianen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 May 2009
Why
Evolution
Works
(and
Creationism
Fails)
is
an
impassioned
argument
in
favor
of
scienceùprimarily
the
theory
of
evolutionùand
against
creationism.
Why
impassioned?
Should
not
scientists
be
dispassionate
in
their
work?
"Perhaps,"
write
the
authors,
"but
it
is
impossible
to
remain
neutral
when
our
most
successful
scientific
theories
are
under
attack,
for
religious
and
other
reasons,
by
laypeople
and
even
some
scientists
who
willfully
distort
scientific
findings
and
use
them
for
their
own
purposes."
Focusing
on
what
other
books
omit,
how
science
works
and
how
pseudoscience
works,
Matt
Young
and
Paul
K.
Strode
demonstrate
the
futility
of
"scientific"
creationism.
They
debunk
the
notion
of
intelligent
design
and
other
arguments
that
show
evolution
could
not
have
produced
life
in
its
present
form.
Concluding with a frank discussion of science and religion, Why Evolution Works (and Creationism Fails) argues that science by no means excludes religion, though it ought tocast doubt on certain religious claims that are contrary to known scientific fact.

Recenzii
"In
this
superb
overview,
Young
and
Strode
tackle
the
most
vexing
issues
in
the
public's
understanding
of
biological
evolution
and
earth
history.
With
clear,
readable
text,
Young
and
Strode
detail
requisite
concepts
while
providing
a
conversational
response
to
creationists'
objections
to
evolution,
which
are
frequently
based
on
profound
misunderstandings
of
how
science
works.
Young
and
Strode
provide
a
thorough
explanation
of
the
concept
of
biological
fitness,
showing
that
evolution,
hardly
random,
is
a
process
of
interaction
between
organisms
and
the
environment.
They
also
take
a
good
look
at
creationism,
using
the
publications
of
prominent
believers
to
show
that
it's
a
movement
divided
against
itself.
Much
of
this
work
developed
from
Strode's
teaching
experience,
and
it
may
be
the
best
book
yet
written
for
teaching
citizens
what
science
really
does,
and
what
religion
really
is
in
relation."
"This
work
carefully
explains
the
difference
between
science
and
pseudoscience,
and
how
the
so-called
alternative
theories
fail
to
be
scientific.
Young
and
Strode
additionally
argue
about
the
compatibility
of
science
and
religion.
This
work
attempts
to
make
an
argument
to
those
who
have
not
accepted
the
facts
of
evolution
and
to
those
who
may
not
possess
a
more
general
understanding
of
the
science.
Highly
recommended."
"This
book
provides
compelling
examples
of
how
science
works. With
any
luck,
it
will
entice
its
readers
to
delve
further
into
these
impossible,
yet
compelling
and
empirically-based,
ideas,
and
help
them
to
recognize
what
distinguishes
the
'impossible'
ideas
of
science
from
the
impossible
ideas
of
religion
and
other
ideologies."
"Of
similar
books
I
have
seen
on
this
subject,
this
one
is
the
best.
Its
discussions
of
evolution
and
refutation
of
creationism
are
clear,
concise,
and
powerful.
Matt
Young
and
Paul
Strode
offer
a
unique,
introductory-level
book
for
students,
scientists,
or
anyone
who
is
open
to
thinking
about
the
topic."
"Strictly
following
facts
and
applying
impeccable
logic,
Young
and
Strode
lead
the
reader,
step
by
step,
through
a
variety
of
topics,
from
evolution
theory
to
cosmology
and
from
psychology
to
medicine,
convincingly
demonstrating
the
power
of
genuine
science
versus
the
fallacies
of
pseudo-science.
An
excellent
addition
to
every
school
library.
"
"
"A
passionate
argument
for
the
importance
of
evolution
both
in
nature
and
in
the
classroom."
"This
is
not
just
another
book
on
the
evolution-creation
controversy.
This
is
actually
a
book
on
the Nature
of
Science,
which
aims
to
explain
what
counts
as
science
and
what
does
not.
It
is
a
valuable
resource
and
deserves
to
be
widely
read."
