The Chemistry of a County

Norfolk as a Paradigm for the Impact of Chemistry over Time

by Bryan Hanley ...

Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
Chemistry is transformative science and creates things that change the landscape.  There is a profound difference between the synthesis of something new with novel properties and the mixing of constituents to produce a blend of the constituents. Chemists seek to understand how things combine (rather than blend) under different conditions and what the consequences of these combining reactions are. ... Read more

造物主的12個印記

從理性與證據認識神

by fingerofthomas ...

《造物主的指紋:神存在的12個客觀證據》你是否曾在深夜仰望星空,問過自己:這一切,真的只是偶然嗎?這不是一本要求你「憑信心相信」的書,而是一本邀請你「憑證據思考」的書。許多護教書籍要麼過於學術艱深,要麼流於情感呼籲。本書選擇了一條不同的路——用常識、邏輯與可驗證的證據說話。作者以高中生也能讀懂的語言,輔以生活化的比喻、向讀者發問的對話方式,以及一步步收束為邏輯推論的嚴謹思路,帶領每一位願意誠實面對證據的人,重新檢視一個我們常常迴避、卻最為根本的問題。第一部:創造主必然存在的七個客觀證據意識與自由意志、客觀道德、宇宙的起始、宇宙的精細調整與數學的適用性、地球的精細調整、生命自然起源的不可能性,以及進化論為何違背常識。從最新的 LUCA 研究、RNA 世界假說到寒武紀大爆發,逐一審視。第二部:這位創造主,正是聖經所啟示的神人類共同祖先的基因證據、耶穌基督復活的歷史性、聖經的... ...
