Universe Evolution

"Else Byskov has performed a valuable service in introducing the Danish sage Martinus to the English-speaking world. She recounts the remarkable life of this enlightened being and gives an in-depth summary of his voluminous teaching. The chapters on The Principles of Reincarnation, The Law of Karma, and Death and the Afterlife are of exceptional interest. There is much here of hope and meaning for our own age and future generations."

The possibility of life elsewhere in the cosmos is one of the most profound subjects that human beings can ponder. Astrophysicist Andrew May gives an expert overview of our current state of knowledge, looking at how life started on Earth, the tell-tale ‘signatures’ it produces and how such signatures might be detected elsewhere in the solar system or on the many ‘exoplanets’ now being discovered by the Kepler and TESS missions.

Charles Darwin's scientific work transformed the way people think about life on Earth. From his childhood in England to his pivotal ocean voyages, he took every opportunity to study the natural world. And he helped shape a new understanding of how life forms change over time.

For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence.

Sculptors of the Universe: Life’s Creative Role in a Chaotic Cosmos by Arnon Daniel Katz is a deeply illuminating exploration of how life persistently shapes order within the universe’s unending currents of change. Through a narrative that gracefully blends science, philosophy, and imagination, Katz invites listeners to discover how complexity arises not despite chaos, but because of it.

Wu Feng sets foot in Region 5, the worst location on Earth. After barely managing to survive, he became part of Hell's Road. There, he will learn the meaning behind the name, and his more core values will be challenged. Still, his path of cultivation has only just started. He will accept this new place as his home, make a new family, and try to create a heaven for them in this hell. But he can only do so if he himself is able to survive. And if he can't, Earth itself will be forever changed.

A voyage to the edge of the universe. The evolution of mankind into god-like super-beings. The explosion of the sun into a supernova. It's all happening in this historic artefact from the late-sixties/seventies. This is a Sci-fi novel, my very first Sci-fi novel, written in 1973-75 - typed on an old second-hand Remington typewriter. I've dusted it off so that I can reacquaint myself with an old friend - the person I used to be. It is a book of its time.

Covering everything from fossilised dinosaurs to intelligent apes, this is an accessible guide to one of the most important scientific theories of all time. Burt Guttman assumes no prior scientific knowledge on the part of the reader, and explains each of the key ideas and concepts, including natural selection, genetics, and the evolution of animal behaviour, in a lively and informative way. This audiobook provides the perfect starting point for understanding what evolution is and why it matters.

In past generations the topic of creation was theologically not very important, and ministers of the gospel could simply gloss over it by teaching the saints that God created everything over six days, six thousand years ago. The reason bible teachers could do that, was because knowledge in the earth was limited and there was no real scientific evidence available to challenge that point of view. Today things have changed however, and every day more and more scientific evidence is discovered that completely refutes that view of scripture, thus highlighting the error of that teaching. And so, ...

In Psychedelic Apes, best-selling author Alex Boese will delve into the curious scientific subculture of weird theories. Thoroughly bizarre and contrary to the established norm, these ideas are often vehemently rejected by the intellectual community. From the creation of the universe to the evolution of humans, the birth of civilisation right through to our more recent past, Psychedelic Apes explores some of the craziest ideas from science and history and shows that, sometimes, even the weirdest theories may be proved true.
