Produktinformationen "Biomythology"
" Is the life unexamined by the fMRI not worth living? Can biology replace the humanities in capturing what it means to be human? Biomythology levels the playing field of skepticism, doing for Darwin and science what Richard Dawkins has attempted for God and religion. This irreverent romp reasons: • ""Once upon a time there were nine planets?scientific truth rests on the faith that future discoveries will not turn today's facts into tomorrow's fairytales."" • ""Science is the art of arranging observations to fit theory. When applied to alter minds rather than matter, the evidence can be as convincing as a serial killer's smile on your first date."" • ""With prenatal testing building better bell curves by controlling the gateway to our brave new world, eugenics is thriving."" Biomythology will teach the skeptic to recognize over twenty rhetorical devices of scientific persuasion that can be borrowed to change our worldviews rather than the world we view."
