言之有物,深入透彻,荡气回肠,强烈推荐!
评分这本书就是纯为八卦而看了。
评分In the arms of the angel Fly away from here
评分宣传无神论,为演化论提供evidence之作
评分本书非常易读,英文用词浅显易懂,案例丰富有趣。不过结构并不非常严谨,不是一个有系统介绍进化论的著作。综合看来非常符合其“给教育程度一般的大众驳斥上帝造物说”的定位。 Evolution is the combination of random variation and non-random passing of genetic information.
Richard Dawkins is a world-renowned evolutionary biologist and author. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and,until recently, held the Charles Simonyi Chair of Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. His first book, The Selfish Gene, was an instant international bestseller, and has become an established classic work of modern evolutionary biology. He is also the author of The Blind Watchmaker, River Out of Eden, Climbing Mount Improbable, Unweaving the Rainbow, A Devil's Chaplain, The Ancestor's Tale, and most recently, The God Delusion.
In 2008, a Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Americans believed God had created man in his present form within the last 10,000 years. In a Pew Forum poll in the same year, 42 percent believed that all life on earth has existed in its present form since the beginning of time. In 1859 Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species , shook society to its core. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke. But he surely would have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later. Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. Now the author of the iconic work The God Delusion takes them to task. The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument." Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics. Combining these elements and many more, he makes the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection." The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is menacing as never before. In American schools, and in schools around the world, insidious attempts are made to undermine the status of science in the classroom. Dawkins wields a devastating argument against this ignorance, but his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.
在无神论的教育下长大的我们也许听到这个数字会感到惊讶:原来美国仍有超过40%的人相信地球上的生物包括人类是上帝创造,而达尔文的进化论根本是无稽之谈! 也许你会嘲笑这些愚昧的上帝的子民。换个角度,你是否想过我们毫无保留的接受了进化论,正像我们接受了很多普世理论和...
评分 评分1, 理查德伦斯基的大肠杆菌进化实验太漂亮了,某一天走进实验室突然发现培养基变得特别浑浊,那是怎样的欣喜啊,那是对神创论者多有力的打击啊。我们的时代留下了这么多影视信息,未来的人,应该是无一不承认进化论的吧。可如果理性思维的基因不是优势基因呢?如果笃信宗教会...
评分 评分可能是阅读倾向的问题,对我来说这本书相比《自私的基因》可读性要高的多——虽然是接近30W字的长篇幅科普读物,读起来却非常顺畅,连作者的零星的幽默感我也很好的get√了。 个人觉得良好的阅读感不光来自作者成熟的写作风格,更多是得益于作者良好的逻辑思维能力,在对神创论...
