What made this tragedy particularly shocking at the time was that Titanic was widely believed to be unsinkable - by passengers, crew and by the public at large. Today Darwin's theory of evolution enjoys a similar \"unsinkable\" reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thesis of this book is that 19th century Darwinian science, developing as it did in an age that also gave rise to supreme confidence in Titanic's unsinkability, has collided with the 'iceberg' of 21st century molecular biology. We conduct an inquiry into the evidence and its worldview implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat if - just as \u003cem\u003eTitanic\u003c\/em\u003e had design flaws that rendered it unsinkable only in a limited sense - what if the science underpinning the \u003cem\u003eTheory of Evolution\u003c\/em\u003e turns out to be valid only in a strictly limited sense? The amazing discoveries in the late 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and especially in the early 21\u003csup\u003est \u003c\/sup\u003ecentury - of the exquisite micro-molecular machinery and organisational complexity, together with the hierarchical layers of regulatory control systems inside living cells - have become \u003cem\u003eEvolution\u003c\/em\u003e's 'iceberg'. Part 1 of this highly accessible account begins by exploring questions like: What is \"science\"?, What is \"evolution\"?, Has \"science\" ever got things wrong? Do all scientific disciplines speak with equal authority? Part 2 investigates five failed predictions of neo-Darwinism now that RMS\u003cem\u003e Evolution\u003c\/em\u003e has collided with the 'molecular biology iceberg'. Just as \u003cem\u003eTitanic\u003c\/em\u003e sank because 5 watertight compartments were breached by the iceberg, we go down 'below decks' to inspect the damage inside five putatively watertight compartments - five different strands of evidence claimed to support the theory of evolution - the origin of life, the power of natural selection to invent, the fossil record, embryology and genetics, and human evolution. Part 3 asks why it is that most 'smart' people still believe the grand claims of evolution to be true and why our academic, media and educational institutions still fervently promote the orthodox paradigm while failing to present the counter-evidence. We'll also explore a theory that better explains the origin of biological information - Intelligent Design. Occasional allusions to the \u003cem\u003eTitanic\u003c\/em\u003e metaphor throughout help to illuminate and elucidate the science.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 402\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.25 x 6.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 25, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750983991584,"sku":"9781643734224","price":32.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/0fb782169254eb30bad3089eba638da5.webp?v=1779961985","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/evolutions-iceberg-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
