Text of the page (random words):
ble universe light travels 186 000 miles per second the light from our home star the sun takes about 9 3 minutes to reach us the light reflected from planets takes several hours the light from alpha centauri the next nearest star takes 4 2 years so when we look at distant galaxies we are effectively looking back in time at younger and younger objects thus powerful telescopes enable us to see developments of stars and galaxies at different times in the past galaxy m83 is 15 million light years away so we are seeing it as it was 15 million years ago and we can t see it any older if we look far enough we can see first generation stars the big bang a sudden expansion of space time produced almost entirely hydrogen and helium the two lightest atoms stars burn by fusion joining nuclei to release energy and creating heavier atoms they can continue until they get to iron which has the lowest energy nucleus creating heavier atoms would use up energy after it creates iron a sun s nuclear fires burn down without the energy of fusion to keep it hot the star collapses inwards because of its own gravity the energy from gravity smashes iron atoms together and creates heavier atoms that s how we know our sun is a second generation star our solar system contains heavier atoms than iron the atoms in our body have already been through one star s furnace share this share on facebook opens

22 35 utc as a book reviews editor at new scientist i often come across so called science books which after a few pages reveal themselves to be harbouring ulterior motives i have learned to recognise clues that the author is pushing a religious agenda as creationists in the us continue to lose court battles over attempts to have intelligent design taught as science in federally funded schools their strategy has been forced to well evolve that means ensuring that references to pseudoscientific concepts like id are more heavily veiled so i thought i d share a few tips for spotting what may be religion in science s clothing red flag number one the term scientific materialism materialism is most often used in contrast to something else something non material or supernatural proponents of id frequently lament the scientific claim that humans are the product of purely material forces at the same time they never define how non material forces might work i have yet to find a definition that characterises non materialism by what it is rather than by what it is not the invocation of cartesian dualism where the brain and mind are viewed as two distinct entities one material and the other immaterial is also a red flag and if an author describes the mind or any biological system for that matter as irreducibly complex let the alarm bells ring misguided interpretations of quantum physics are a classic hallmark of pseudoscience usually of the new age variety but some religious groups are now appealing to aspects of quantum weirdness to account for free will beware this is nonsense when you come across the terms darwinism or darwinists take heed true scientists rarely use these terms and instead opt for evolution and biologists respectively when evolution is described as a blind random undirected process be warned while genetic mutations may be random natural selection is not when cells are described as astonishingly complex molecular machines it is generally by breathless supporters of id who take the metaphor literally and assume that such a machine requires an engineer if an author wishes for academic freedom it is usually id code for the acceptance of creationism some general sentiments are also red flags authors with religious motives make shameless appeals to common sense from the staid there is nothing we can be more certain of than the reality of our sense of self james le fanu in why us to the silly yer granny was an ape creationist blogger denyse o leary if common sense were a reliable guide we wouldn t need science in the first place religiously motivated authors also have a bad habit of linking the cultural implications of a theory to the truth value of that theory the id crowd for instance loves to draw a line from darwin to the holocaust as they did in the documentary film expelled no intelligence allowed even if such an absurd link were justified it would have zero relevance to the question of whether or not the theory of evolution is correct similarly when le fanu writes that darwin s on the origin of species articulated the desire of many scientists for an exclusively materialist explanation of natural history that would liberate it from the sticky fingers of the theological inference that the beauty and wonder of the natural world was direct evidence for a designer his statement has no bearing on the scientific merits of evolution it is crucial to the public s intellectual health to know when science really is science those with a religious agenda will continue to disguise their true views in their effort to win supporters so please read between the lines share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x email a link to a friend opens in new window email print
