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 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aCosmology 606 $aLife$xOrigin 606 $aHuman evolution 606 $aReligion and science 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aLife$xOrigin. 615 0$aHuman evolution. 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a501 676 $a509 700 $aGonzalo$b Julio A$0870857 702 $aGonzalo$b Julio A$g(Julio Antonio), 702 $aCarreira$b Manuel Maria 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807939703321 996 $aIntelligible design$94041144 997 $aUNINA
