What are the Contributions of Genetics to the Understanding of Life? Nicolas Jouve 330 $aThis book provides realistic answers to hotly debated scientific topics: Science is about quantitative aspects of natural realities (physical, chemical, biological) but it is the result of human intellectual inquiry and therefore not "per se" materialistic.This book, with contributions from experts in physics, cosmology, mathematics, engineering, biology and genetics, covers timely and relevant topics such as the origin of the universe, the origin of life on Earth, the origin of man (intelligent life) and the origin of science. 606 $aCosmology 606 $aHuman evolution 606 $aLife -- Origin 606 $aScience -- History 606 $aScience -- Philosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aCosmology$xOrigin 606 $aLife 606 $aHuman evolution 606 $aReligion and science 606 $aScience$xhistory 606 $aBiological Evolution 606 $aOrigin of Life 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aReligion and Science 606 $aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics$2HILCC 606 $aSciences - General$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aCosmology. 615 4$aHuman evolution. 615 4$aLife -- Origin. 615 4$aScience -- History. 615 4$aScience -- Philosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aCosmology$xOrigin 615 0$aLife 615 0$aHuman evolution 615 0$aReligion and science 615 12$aScience$xhistory. 615 22$aBiological Evolution. 615 22$aOrigin of Life. 615 22$aPhilosophy. 615 22$aReligion and Science. 615 7$aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics 615 7$aSciences - General 676 $a501 676 $a509 700 $aGonzalo$b Julio A$0870857 701 $aCarreira$b Manuel M$0992933 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453253203321 996 $aIntelligible Design$92481839 997 $aUNINA
