| adam_text | LOGIC, RHETORIC, AND SCIENCE
/ FITCH, WALTER M.
: C2012
TABLE OF CONTENTS / INHALTSVERZEICHNIS
LOGIC, LOGICAL FALLACIES, AND RHETORIC
THE BASICS
SOME SIMPLE MATH AND STATISTICS
YOUNG-EARTH CREATIONISM.
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
SCIENCE/EVOLUTION/RELIGION
WALTER M. FITCH, A PIONEER IN THE STUDY OF MOLECULAR EVOLUTION, HAS
WRITTEN
THIS
COGENT OVERVIEW OF WHY CREATIONISM FAILS
WITH
RESPECT TO ALL THE FUNDAMENTALS
OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY. HE EXPLAINS THE
BASICS
OF LOGIC AND RHETORIC AT THE HEART
OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING, CLEARLY
SHOWS
WHAT A LOGICAL
SYLLOGISM
IS, AND
TELLS
HOW
ONE CAN DETECT
THAT
AN ARGUMENT IS LOGICALLY FALLACIOUS AND THEREFORE INVALID,
OR
EVEN
DUPLICITOUS. FITCH THEN TAKES HIS
READERS
THROUGH THE
ARGUMENTS
USED
BY CREATIONISTS TO QUESTION THE
SCIENCE
OF EVOLUTION, CLEARLY DELINEATES THE FALLACIES
IN
LOGIC
THAT
CHARACTERIZE CREATIONIST THINKING, AND EXPLORES THE
BASIC
STATISTICS
THAT
CREATIONISTS TEND TO IGNORE, INCLUDING ELEMENTARY GENETICS, THE AGE OF
THE
EARTH, AND FOSSIL DATING.
THIS
BOOK
SHOWS
US WHY SCIENTISTS NEED TO LEARN LOGIC FROM SCIENTISTS, AND HOW THEY CAN.
IT
SHOULD
BE PART OF EVERY
SCIENCE
CURRICULUM, READ BY ALL STUDENTS*AND THEIR
PROFESSORS.
FITCH HAS
LEFT
US A MASTERPIECE.
INTO
THIS
CONCISE
BOOK WALTER FITCH HAS POURED HIS COMMITMENT TO EXPLAINING EVOLUTION
AND HIS CONVICTION
THAT
AN UNDERSTANDING OF LOGIC AND OF SCIENTIFIC METHODS WOULD LEAD
THE
READER TO SEE THE STRENGTHS OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY AND THE DEFICIENCIES
OF CREATIONISM.
THIS
THOUGHTFUL BOOK IS A SOPHISTICATED BALONEY DETECTOR FOR DIGESTING THE
OFFAL
THAT
CREATIONISTS TRY TO
PASS
OFF AS STEAK. THE LATE WALTER FITCH DEMONSTRATES
THAT
THE LOGIC AND
LANGUAGE
OF
SCIENCE
DEPART FROM THE
DELUSIONS
OF CREATIONISM.
WALTER FITCH
MAKES
A STRONG
CASE:
CREATIONISM VIOLATES THE EVIDENCE FROM SCIENTIFIC INVESTI-
GATIONS, MISREPRESENTS THE INTERPRETATION OF PRIMARY RELIGIOUS
DOCUMENTS,
UTTERLY
FAILS AS
A LOGICAL PRESENTATION, AND
DOES
SO IN BLASTS OF UNJUSTIFIED RHETORIC.
