Sobre IBD

Creation and Evolution are topics which raise some hard questions:How did Nature start? (What is the real 'origin of species'?)Were living things created by God, or did they evolve? (or both ?)How long ago did it all happen?What do the fossils actually tell us?Why are we still arguing about Darwin 130 years after his death?These questions are from a grey area where science, philosophy and religious belief overlap.The scientists themselves do not agree about the answers. This beginning of Nature: is it a matter of Revelation, or Folk Tale, or science? How much of the science of the past is 'Just So story'? After 40 years of teaching biology to bright A level students, the author has some feel for which parts of evolution theory make good sense and which parts give special difficulty. He has friends of every shade of opinion - from staunch Darwinists at one end of the spectrum to enthusiastic creationists at the other - so he has got to know 'the bits that really matter'.The aim of the book is to unscramble ideas and make some suggestions, rather than to convert the reader to a particular view.

    Peter Frost
    Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

  • When Evolution Stops
    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
