The Answers
Author: James Smith
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1644718812
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
The Answers All of Them and No B.S. sounds like a pretty pompous statement, but when you consider it, this book proves that the Bible is the only perfect written composition, consisting of sixty-six books, written by many different men inspired by God, over a period of thousands of years. That proves God is real, using mathematics and fulfilled prophecy; that He is the One Who created heaven and earth; and that there is no such thing as the big bang, which science keeps on trying to sell to everybody (it may be something of an understatement). Not many books offer true, life-changing information as does this one. Open your mind and heart and allow the Lord God Almighty to reveal Himself to you. Become a new person by the power of the blood of Jesus. Go ahead. Open the book. Read it. You'll be glad you did.

A Mark of the Mental
Author: Karen Neander
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262036142
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Drawing on insights from causal theories of reference, teleosemantics, and state space semantics, a theory of naturalized mental representation. In A Mark of the Mental, Karen Neander considers the representational power of mental states—described by the cognitive scientist Zenon Pylyshyn as the “second hardest puzzle” of philosophy of mind (the first being consciousness). The puzzle at the heart of the book is sometimes called “the problem of mental content,” “Brentano's problem,” or “the problem of intentionality.” Its motivating mystery is how neurobiological states can have semantic properties such as meaning or reference. Neander proposes a naturalistic account for sensory-perceptual (nonconceptual) representations. Neander draws on insights from state-space semantics (which appeals to relations of second-order similarity between representing and represented domains), causal theories of reference (which claim the reference relation is a causal one), and teleosemantic theories (which claim that semantic norms, at their simplest, depend on functional norms). She proposes and defends an intuitive, theoretically well-motivated but highly controversial thesis: sensory-perceptual systems have the function to produce inner state changes that are the analogs of as well as caused by their referents. Neander shows that the three main elements—functions, causal-information relations, and relations of second-order similarity—complement rather than conflict with each other. After developing an argument for teleosemantics by examining the nature of explanation in the mind and brain sciences, she develops a theory of mental content and defends it against six main content-determinacy challenges to a naturalized semantics.

Age Of The Earth, The: A Physicist's Odyssey
Author: Archibald W Hendry
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9813279710
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
This book spells out in detail how the age of the Earth has been determined over the centuries. First — the 'biblical' age: how was the date of Creation 4004 BC figured out? A date which is so important even today ... it is the basis of claims made by millions that the Earth is only about 6000 years old. Next — the response of geologists (and Darwin) for a very old Earth. Then, Kelvin's calculation of how long it would take for a hot Earth to cool down to its present state. And finally, today's answer ('billions'), based on the properties of radioactive materials. So, how old is Planet Earth?
