The book History of Time by Stephen Hawking

I watch The Science Channel on a daily basis as well as the Learning Channel, the Discovery Channel, History Channel

Got more if you need it, just too lazy to type them all. If you really want to explore them I'll be glad to type more, but most of these type of questions really don't want the reference materials

Answer 2

The Icons of Evolution by Jonathan Wells. Darwin's Black Box. Miichael Behe. Darwin on trial by Berkley Law professor Phillip Johnson. He also has a list of other books relating to the same topic titled defeating darwinsm, the wedge of truth, reason in the balance, objections sustained. I also own and have read Darwin strikes back by Thomas Woodward, The case for the creator by former legal editor and investigative journalist Lee Strobel. I also have another good resource book called ready with an answer by John Ankerberg. I read an article in Time magazine featuring a debate between Richard Dawkins and some theologion. After all the hype I expected a little more from Dawkins. There is another book I would like to aquire by an agnostic. The book is titles Evolution a theory in crisis by Michael Denton. It was some of his findings that actually spurred some people to start questioning evolution. Although I hear he may have changed his position he hasn't addressed many of the issues he raised in his book. Lee Strobels book talks with many respected scientists of impressive credentials on a number of various issues. The Icons of evolution was a real eye opener showing how much of what is being taught in school is at best highly questionable and insome instances knowingly false. The author of the book is a scientist. A post doctoral biologist himself holding degrees from yale Univercity and the Univercity of Berkely. he is a member of several scientific organizations and is published widely in academic journals. I also own but haven't fully read a book called signs of intellgience by William Dembski and James M. Kushner. This book features contributions from many authors.

Answer 3

What is an Aurthur?

Science is a broad...anything in particular?

you could read a few books, magazines, and websites and become a pseudo-intellectual like most people on this list.

Answer 4

After high-school (public), I self studied (secular) college text books on physics and chemistry. When I went to college, I took (secular) science courses in biology and astronomy. For the last six months, I have read and viewed numerous creationist's resources from http://www.answersingenesis.com

Answer 5

I went to school and took courses. Then I went to college and took more courses. There are many different kind of sciences. You learn science for studying it! It takes years and years. Books and sites will not teach you. You can learn stuff from them but you will not get formally educated this way.
Also note: all science classes are held in science buildings and labs. Classes in philosophy and religion are taught of an entirely different department, and hence, different buildings. That's because they are NOT the same.

Answer 6

It started with school, then discussion with brilliant people, then reading books on science by authors like Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking...also environmentalists, anthropologists, geologists, and on and on. Google science books and pick out a few and READ.

Answer 7

Me personally? 8 years in college and counting.

You? If you don't know anything about science, you might want to start with Bill Bryson's 'A Short History of Everything' because it introduces much modern science as well as explaining how we know what we know.

Answer 8

Stephen Hawking's - A Brief History of Time is a book that immediately comes to mind. I recommend it. I commend you for asking for a reading list.

Answer 9

12 years of regular schooling and 3 years of college. I couldn't possibly name every single text book I've ever read. But I've taken chemistry, biology, honors chemistry, AP biology, college biology, and earth science classes.

Edit: Basically read any college biology or earth science text book.

Answer 10

High School Science and College Science.

To long ago to remember Authors...

Peace!
