"For years, leading scientists and science popularizers have insisted humans are nothing special in the cosmic scheme of things. In this important and provocative new book, renowned biologist Michael Denton argues otherwise. According to Denton, the cosmos is stunningly fit not just for cellular life, not just for carbon-based animal life, and not even just for air-breathing animals, but especially for bipedal, land-roving, technology-pursuing creatures of our general physiological design. In short, the cosmos is specifically fit for creatures like us. Drawing on discoveries from a myriad of scientific fields, Denton masterfully documents how contemporary science has revived humanity's special place in nature. "The human person as revealed by modern science is no contingent assemblage of elements, an irrelevant afterthought of cosmic evolution," Denton writes. "Rather, our destiny was inscribed in the light of stars and the properties of atoms since the beginning. Now we know that all nature sings the song of man. Our seeming exile from nature is over. We now know what the medieval scholars only believed, that the underlying rationality of nature is indeed 'manifest in human flesh.' And with this revelation the... delusion of humankind's irrelevance on the cosmic stage has been revoked.""-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
