This book provides realistic answers to hotly debated scientific topics: Science is about quantitative aspects of natural realities (physical, chemical, biological) but it is the result of human intellectual inquiry and therefore not “per se” materialistic.

This book, with contributions from experts in physics, cosmology, mathematics, engineering, biology and genetics, covers timely and relevant topics such as the origin of the universe, the origin of life on Earth, the origin of man (intelligent life) and the origin of science.

Contents:

  • Modern Science in Historical Perspective:

    • On the Origins of Modern Science (Julio A Gonzalo)
    • The Post-Renaissance Revolution: The New Science (Manuel M Carreira)
    • Frank Sherwood Taylor: The Man Who was Converted by Galileo (John Beaumont)
    • The Limits of Science (Manuel Alfonseca)
    • On the Intelligibility of Quantum Mechanics (Julio A Gonzalo)
    • Uncertainty, Incompleteness, Chance, and Design (Fernando Sols)
    • A Finite, Open and Contingent Universe (Julio A Gonzalo)
  • On the Origin and Development of Life:

    • A Brief History of Evolutionary Thought (Thomas B Fowler and Daniel Kuebler)
    • Life's Intelligible Design (Manuel Alfonseca)
    • What are the Contributions of Genetics to the Understanding of Life? (Nicolas Jouve)
    • On the Human Genome in Contrast to the Great Apes Genome (Nicolás Jouve)
    • On the Evolution Controversy (Thomas B Fowler)
