Questioning Evolution

Maurice A. Williams

4.9/5 (27324 ratings)

Description:The theory of evolution has become well accepted in The United States. I was impressed by it during my college days where I majored in Biology. But, even then, I knew that it contradicted what I learned in my youth about religion. It didn’t confuse me for many years because I just compartmentalized my life into basically two categories: the world of God and religion and the world of science. But in my mature years I began to realize I should not divide my world view that way. There is only one truth. I should recognize the truth in everything. So I started composing essays where I debated the pro and cons of both positions for about twelve years and posted my essays on The Internet. I gradually came to the conclusion that Evolution, although it is a good way to understand how species gradually chance with time, it is absolutely bogus when it tries to argue that is no God, not even an intelligent agent of any kind behind the real world. Finally I put most of my essays together in my book “Questioning Evolution.”What convinced me is, even though physical matter does exhibit evolutionary change through time, the laws of nature governing that evolution do not change. They are uniform and exact whenever they operate and wherever they operate all through the entire universe and all through time. These laws are not physical objects that are composed of mass and have weight. They are more like spiritual things.Before trying to market my book, I sought evaluation by people who review books. Here are what some of they had to say:Diane Donovan of Midwest Book Reviews in California says:“William's essays apply physics and spirituality with an eye to exploring and explaining contrasting belief systems and approaches to both. He also succinctly outlines the differences between different, seemingly-opposite perceptions and why it's important to consider them both as valid. ‘There are two worlds I am immersed in: the physical world and the spiritual world. I need to come to terms with both worlds. One can be investigated through observation and experimentation; the other can only be approached through faith in the testimony of someone who knows.’"“These introductory passages lay the groundwork for essays which range from a consideration of what is faulty about Darwinist thinking to human choices involved in going to Hell, the existence of extraterrestrial beings and their place in God's plan, a simpler perspective on what constitutes good and evil, and the hurdles of pride in a personal relationship with God.”“Williams provides many thought-provoking insights that move from scientific discussion to an analysis of the mechanics of belief. Therefore, Questioning Evolution is a thought-provoking read best served up in religious settings not just to teens; but to a mixed group of adult and teen thinkers who will find in this collection a solid foundation for debates and personal analysis.”“It cements its approach with author perspectives and insights to lend a personal touch needed not just for acceptance of its concepts, but how they can be digested and analyzed. The wide-reaching topics in these essays will surprise those who anticipated a survey centered on evolution; but the process is clearly more complex than a singular perspective about what constitutes evolution, embracing many different interpretations and approaches.”“The heart of the discussion lies in what can be accepted on faith alone. Adult and teen audiences alike will find much to reflect upon, here.”Quinto writing for On Line Book Club had this to say:“The mainstay of human thought, Creation or Evolution, is covered in an extraordinary fashion in Maurice A. Williams' book, Questioning Evolution. As a child he was taught creation and later in maturity, he became, in his own words, ‘very impressed with science and the gifted and well-educated men of science.’ Maurice's book, then, is simply a compilation of the short essays, all 133 of them, he posted over the internet during a twelve-year period of self-discovery. What makes them extraordinary is the level of variegation of topics covered in this medium sized book.”“Given the wide range of themes arising out of the two mentioned above, creation or evolution, the book has a comprehensive index at the end, pointing to the reader where to find what. What worked for me was the fact that I could really begin reading anywhere as they are mostly randomly arranged. And besides, some themes covered in one essay are repeated elsewhere in the book, albeit under different headlines; for example, essay nine, "Evolution versus Intelligent design", covers the same themes as essay twenty, "Evolution versus Creationism", and even a subsequent one, "Intelligence". These essays present many scientists' view that the universe was not created by anyone - it happened by pure chance, and all living forms simply evolved over long periods of time. The Creationists' view, on the ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
