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. BIOLOG Y AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE. HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN GENOME ORGANIZATION. HIS PREVIOUS BOOKS ARE TEMPO AND MODE IN EVOLUTION: GENETICS AND PALEONTOLOGY FIFTY YEARS AFTER SIMPSON AND VARIATION AND EVOLUTION IN PLANTS AND MICROORGANISMS: TOWARD A NEW SYNTHESIS FIFTY YEARS AFTER STEBBINS. (1929-2011) WAS PROFESSOR OF ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY
