Why is there something rather than nothing? Designed to Evolve examines the question of existence in light of modern science. From the birth of the universe 13.8 billion years ago, to the intricacy of the DNA molecule, nature is explored at the most fundamental level. Two possible explanations emerge. Are we the result of chance or designed for a purpose? There has never been a time when more information on origins has been available. Now we can probe this question and take a critical look at the nature of existence. In the end, the evidence for purpose prevails. Designed to Evolve presents the modern rational for a creator, compiled from the science of our day. Recent discoveries have exposed new lines of evidence for God. Modern versions of traditional arguments still hold true. Big bang cosmology, particle physics, natural history, and biology are analyzed in a vivid chronology of the universe, revealing the beauty of creation and making the sciences of origin comprehensible to the non-scientist. This digs deep into the specific evidence and is backed up by references from many scientific journals, books, and other publications. The opposing view is not neglected. A stroke of chance on infinite scales of time have been the mainstay of atheist ideology, including the many multiverse scenarios, unguided evolution, and the apparent disconnect between science and religion. The lines of reason often used in support of atheism are examined in detail. Yet, in the end, faith may be a required element of non-belief, given the amassing evidence. The implications of some quantum phenomena reveal the nature of God and hint at the existence of the soul. Biblical creation is shown to align closely with geology and the fossil record. Designed to Evolve presents a compelling depiction of creation that embraces modern science. Whether you believe, believe with doubts, consider yourself undecided, or are an atheist, this book will help you to have a fully informed view. Designed to Evolve provides clear, credible, and verifiable evidence that represents the most complete scientific assessment for the existence of God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49849664241937,"sku":"CIN0692429875G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51006001086737,"sku":"NIN9780692429877","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0692429875.jpg?v=1751294589"},{"product_id":"before-sunset-book-christopher-s-davis-9783031933721","title":"Before Sunset","description":"Through a presentation of the oldest rock art dated in the Americas, located in Monte Alegre, Brazil, this book analyzes an ancient ecological-astronomy strategy that theoretically made the rapid human migration in the Americas successful. It helps answer two vital questions long held by scholars and the general public alike: How did humans survive the rapid and massive climate changes at the end of the ice age? And how did founding populations (especially in the Americas) manage successful settlement, relatively rapidly, in ecosystems entirely foreign to them? It further initiates questions about the universal role that astronomy (and even astrology) might have played in cognitive human evolution and the success of burgeoning sedentism and eventual \"civilization\" throughout the world. The book makes a substantial contribution because of the wealth of cultural information it provides from Monte Alegre. It explains the author's analysis of pictographs, lithics, and landscape modifications that were excavated there and provides novel findings on the chronology and archaeoastronomy of the art.    This book is indispensable for courses about Paleoindians, peopling of the Americas, environmental anthropology, cosmology, rock art studies, archeoastronomy, paleoecology, paleoethnobotany, and Amazonia. The pan-American indications of this work will appeal to archaeologists, historians, art historians, folklorists, Native American and Indigenous scholars, evolutionists, cognitive scientists, geographers, and the general public.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52500806500625,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52500807221521,"sku":"NGR9783031933721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"rise-of-ancient-civilizations-book-christopher-s-davis-9781516515059","title":"The Rise of Ancient Civilizations","description":"Features readings that emphasize how cultural interaction among ancient societies was the dominant factor that led to a rise in societal complexity and technological accomplishments, commonly referred to as civilization.
