from this young adult book about the life of charles darwin after his adventures on the h m s beagle the book is based on his and his wife s diary entries and because charles was the more prolific writer we have more of his insights than emma s the quoted material is more of a sprinkling than a basis for the book so it is mostly the author s interpretation than their actual words charles was agnostic from the start his father was a wealthy physician whose money bankrolled charles s scientific career and lavish home life which turned out to be a very good investment he was a unitarian which the author describes as a lenient christian faith though most other christians would not agree they would be more in line with charles s grandfather erasmus who said it was a featherbed to catch a falling christian charles studied theology at cambridge because everyone studied theology that went to university in those days university college london the first godless institution didn t open until 1826 charles did not do well though he steeped himself in the natural philosophy of the day the notion that the beauty of nature proved god s existence this very popular philosophy during darwin s time is what was so threatened by his hypothesis of natural selection because in darwin s mind the process of evolution developed the beauty of creatures and not god when someone like charles has been raised without a clear theology and tends to take up the current philosophical fad of the day he later followed francis newman for awhile until he disagreed with him too we are not surprised by his eventual atheism charles however did not have the animosity towards people of faith as many of the atheists of today have overall charles was a highly reserved man who did not want to offend anyone in fact he likely suffered from panic disorder and agoraphobia he was incapable of even disciplining his own children though he had nannies to take care of that ultimately it was this extreme victorian reserve that held him back from publishing his thoughts on the very controversial topic of natural selection until he could have complete proof that he was right perhaps the same level of proof he sought after in his search for god while he never took the leap of faith required of a christian believer he did publish his theory without iron clad proof ultimately because someone else was going to beat him to it he received a letter from alfred wallace who conceived the very same theory and even then he needed some coaxing from his friends who also testified that charles came up with it first emma wedgwood from the family of pottery fame was charles s affluent cousin according to the book charles s wedgwood cousins had been brought up with few if any rules and the encouragement to think freely she is often stated to be deeply religious though after reading this book i question people s definition of that term after suffering the tragic loss of emma s sister fanny emma s faith was then derived mostly from a desire to see a loved one in the afterlife rather than on any deep personal belief this theme is emphasized by the author throughout the book i am not surprised she was unable to convince her loving husband of the existence of god she too picked and chose what she wanted to believe she turned away from the altar during mention of the trinity and their daughter elizabeth decided not to be confirmed because she also did not believe in the trinity the frequent mention of free thinking in the book seemed a nod to modern rationalism freethinkers ironically can only form opinions based on logic and science without philosophy or theology which seems hypocritical to me though the book is based on the writings of charles and emma the author does give us a good dose of her own filter the most telling words in this regard are for his part charles admitted that emma had been right when she said that his looking at the world in a scientific way probably precluded him from looking at it in a religious way perhaps to do the great science he did he had to focus entirely that way to let religion in would have diluted his effort that did not mean he would deny emma or anyone their beliefs but for him science was the way to get answers p 213 emma must not have been familiar with the long and important history of scientific discovery brought about by people of faith that continues today this false generalization is the result of ignorance given her social circles though it is a stereotype that the author willingly perpetuates the enjoyment of the book came through the loving and devoted relationship between charles and emma throughout their lives and tragedies we learn about living a privileged life in victorian england they had 10 children one who died at less than a month another at age 10 and their last at age 2 charles himself was plagued with sickness throughout his life though the book does not mention panic disorder as the likely cause emma mothered him and he was willingly a child around her she gave great comfort to charles as well as the children during their times of illness we really don t get much of a scientific history the book is primarily the personal life of charles and emma darwin one tidbit i found interesting is how different their painted portraits looked from their photographs i would not have thought them to be of the same subjects the book brings to light so much of the religious confusion in 19 th century england unfortunately the author s anti religious filter stifles the potential for it to enlighten the reader regarding this turbulent time so well reflected by the darwin family in the end the religious story is a tragic one for the darwin clan deteriorating into the birth of the eugenics movement through charles s cousin francis galton that was endorsed by charles himself also not mentioned in the book i am disappointed to find a modern trend in children s book awards to select titles with anti religious themes this book being no exception charles and emma the darwins leap of faith has received the yalsa ala excellence in young adult nonfiction award was a national book award finalist and is an honor book of the ala s printz award this review is also available on love2learn net posted by kris at 7 07 2010 4 comments labels books saturday may 22 2010 finding darwin s god evolution creationism microevolution intelligent design materialism science and religion where does one begin to understand what all controversy is about start with kenneth miller s book finding darwin s god kenneth miller is a catholic cell biologist that clearly explains all of these subjects he begins by taking us through the volumes of evidence supporting evolution including the scientific meaning of theory that is often misused by opponents of evolution he then gives the details of creationism microevolution only and intelligent design describing not only where these proposals are wrong based on the scientific evidence but also where they are philosophically insufficient to explain god s relationship to his creation after showing the fallacies in these common challenges to evolution he continues on to a very important section detailing how scientists also misuse evolution as a basis for a philosophy of religion in that it somehow proves that god does not exist he points out that scientists vicious religious attacks are some of the reasons why evolution has such passionate opponents he did not continue on with how a twisted interpretation of evolution became the foundation of the horrid philosophy of eugenics he points out the hypocrisy in demeaning those who try to discount evolution by distorting the science while giving a pass to those who also distort the science to apply it to philosophy and society finally he takes his readers through the scientific basis as to why evolution does not mean that our lives our choices our futures are determined and predicted by our genetics he explains that at the very core of all the ordered universe we have found quantum chaos that impacts even how mutations occur in other words god has a role to play in our lives my sense is that miller wrote this book for scientists and people like me catholics who understand the unity of truth and have no qualms with evolution but strongly reject evolutionism he demonstrates that being a serious scientist and a serious catholic is not a conflict he does not however get into any of the theology about where evolution fits into god s plan he does not discuss why there is something instead of nothing and frankly that is much too big a question to address in this book in taking this approach he sometimes oversimplifies an argument to the point where he puts it on theologically shaky ground for example he says that evolution eventually created what god was looking for creature that could know and love him undermining an all knowing god he also discusses free will by saying that it is impossible to create people with the option to sin that would never do so technically using a logic argument it is highly unlikely that no one would sin ever but not impossible while the book is an excellent overview of this controversial topic it does not discuss evolution in light of catholic religious philosophy or theology finishing this book left me looking for a good follow up to fill in these areas i particularly took interest in the tale of fr murphy who told a very young miller that a flower is a work of god just like we are because scientists don t know why they form this was indeed a botanical mystery until a much older miller saw the discovery of genes that cause leaves to modify into flowers if we teach our children a god of the gaps that god must exist because science cannot explain certain natural phenomena then we are setting them up to lose that belief as science progresses especially if they become scientists teach them that we must have a regular predictable world in order to recognize miracles that we live in a natural as well as a supernatural world and that god is the answer to the question why is there something instead of nothing you can read a different review of this book at love2learn net posted by kris at 5 22 2010 9 comments labels books monday may 10 2010 review of newton and me with the release of newton and me i was hoping to find an elementary science book written as an engaging story but unfortunately i was disappointed the book is about a boy and his dog newton discovering various forces in their daily lives forces first described by isaac newton the difficulty i have with this book is that the reading and concept levels do not match i very much promote and encourage introducing science concepts at a young age however the basic story and rhyming text appealing to preschool through first grade does not introduce any concepts they do not readily realize naturally and yet this same age group would have a hard time understanding the concepts presented in the for creative minds section like friction or pushing something twice as hard this is available as a free download from sylvan dell the colorful yet simple illustrations are well matched to the text and theme some of the concepts presented are things like a ball rolls easier on a sidewalk than on the grass when it is thrown into the air always comes down a toy truck stays stationary on level ground yet rolls on a hill and others many of the activities in the for creative minds section are cross curricular relating mostly to language development sylvan dell has long struggled to publish non nature science story books for elementary aged children based on how few titles actually fit that description from any publisher it must be a tough genre i am still holding out hope that they will publish better offerings in this area this review is also available on love2learn net posted by kris at 5 10 2010 no comments labels books sunday march 28 2010 the private eye a friend of mine recently started a workshop based on the private eye 5x looking thinking by analogy and i am hooked the process is very simple yet quite powerful the product is designed for the school market but really could flourish in homeschools the idea is this look at a natural object using a 5x loupe just that alone in fascinating because objects look so different magnified revealing detail one never imagined was there it also focuses a child s attention on that small piece of the world next make a list of analogies for the object thinking about of what other things it reminds you similes and metaphors work well here try to come up with a list of 5 to 10 of them after examining the object for awhile draw what you see this is ideal material for any nature notebook of course we draw a circle to simulate the loupe and then draw the object in it finally kids ask themselves why something looks the way it does why it has the structure it does because so often form follows function this line of questioning is really a scientific investigation the first steps are to ask a question and form a hypothesis most often the answers will come from a book or internet search but as kids get older they may be inspired to carry out some investigations themselves one can easily imagine applying this simple process endlessly throughout years of nature study yet what i found even more intriguing are the suggestions and projects listed in the book to extend the analogies and investigations especially for writing by thinking in analogies the natural objects more easily become the subjects of poetry short stories expressive journaling as well research the book gives ideas across the curriculum as one would expect from a school based curriculum i find it to be a fascinating way to look think and write about nature posted by kris at 3 28 2010 10 comments labels books nature our
