Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact
In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design," there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence , the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.
Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.

評分看了这样的一本书,首先我必须说这是一本好书!一本讲了实话的书!但是这本书不能算是个经典,不能算是个让人耳目一新的书!与之前的几部类似的著作相比(达尔文的我就不列举了!其他的有《社会生物学》、《进化是什么》、《自达尔文以来》、《熊猫的拇指》、《奇妙的生命》等...
評分其实达尔文无需公众相信。达尔文他是个搞科学的,而一切科学理论都是有限的:在有限的时间范围之内,在一定的适用范围之内,我们共同承认某种科学理论是 True 滴断言,翻译过来也可以说“要相信”这种理论。可是,超出一定范围,一种真理就可能变成谬误,比如伟大光荣正确的牛...
評分《啊哈啊哈灵机一动》有一节说,从前有个叫帕斯卡的人(没错就是压强的那个帕斯卡)提出了一个问题,如果一个人对信不信教完全没有idea,觉得圣经可能是对的也可能是错的,那他应该怎么办呢? 一、 他选择不信教,那么 if 圣经是错的,他什么也没得到, else 他会在大审判后下...
