O poeta latino Tito Lucrécio Caro, que viveu no século I a.C., escreveu um único livro: o poema De Rerum Natura. Nele defende a teoria atomista (Demócrito já tinha dito antes «Tudo no mundo é átomos e espaço vazio») mas fala, além de coisas da física e da química, de muitas outras coisas: biologia, psicologia, filosofia, etc. O blog que partilha o título com o poema de Lucrécio fala também de várias coisas do mundo, procurando expor a sua natureza. Parte da realidade do mundo (o nosso mundo, feito de átomos e espaço vazio) para discutir o empreendimento humano da descoberta do mundo, que é a ciência, e as profundas implicações que essa descoberta tem para a nossa vida no mundo.

Biological evolution: never has a phenomenon so important so lent itself to such clear, understandable, elegant explanations. But just as evolution itself produces a seemingly infinite variety of life forms, so the human understanding of evolution has produced countless educational and entertaining kinds of illustrations by which to explain it. In the video above, astronomer-astrophysicist-cosmologist Carl Sagan, no stranger to demystifying the once seemingly unfathomable phenomena of our universe, shows how evolution actually works with eight minutes of crisp animation that take us from molecules in the primordial soup, to bacteria, to plants and polyps, to lampreys, to turtles, to dinosaurs and birds, to wombats, to baboons and apes, to us. Then he goes back and does the whole four billion-year evolutionary journey again in forty seconds...

The Evolution website provides you with twenty classic texts from the history of evolutionary biology. While there has to be an arbitrary element in the choice of papers, we have aimed to include timeless classics: some of them are still the works that dominate modern discussions, others remain as implicit towering structures behind the activities of the 21st Century. All, however, are superb scientific papers, providing all sorts of intellectual pleasure for the reader.

The Origin of Species - 6th Edition Charles Darwin ...

GodAndScience.org began for me (Richard Deem) while I began serving as a volunteer apologist for Reasons To Believe in 1994. At the time, Reasons was receiving dozens to hundreds of letters every month that needed to be answered. The "easy" letters were answered by the staff, usually by including one of the ministry's short papers along with a form letter. However, there were always the harder questions, most of which required at least some research to answer. As a part of the group of 40-60 volunteers, I answered 3-4 letters/week. Initially, the number of letters answered was much less, since every letter required research and study (both biblical and scientific). Eventually, I wrote quite a number of long papers on various topics related to theology and science. I kept up with the current scientific literature and kept adding to the body of evidence for each paper. As a relatively new Christian (since 1988, see my testimony page), serving with Reasons To Believe forced me to examine Christianity in detail and study the Bible in depth to answer the questions of both skeptics and believers. The learning experience with Reasons To Believe was the basis for much of the information incorporated into this site.

Darwin Online is the largest and most widely consulted edition of the writings of Darwin ever published. More copies of Darwin's works have been downloaded from Darwin Online than have been printed by all publishers of the past 180 years combined. It is probably the most extensive scholarly website devoted to any historical figure.

EvoTutor is your online resource for interactive simulations of evolutionary processes.

ActionBioscience.org is a non-commercial, educational web site created to promote bioscience literacy by examining issues that will: motivate the public to play an active role in bioscience education; show how developments in bioscience research can affect everyone; promote an understanding of biogeography and the biodiversity of life; engage the public to reflect on the relationship between human activity and the natural course of evolution; promote global ecological awareness; advance formal and informal bioscience education; encourage students to pursue studies in the biosciences

The Evolution series' goals are to heighten public understanding of evolution and how it works, to dispel common misunderstandings about the process, and to illuminate why it is relevant to all of us.

The Talk.Origins Archive is a collection of articles and essays that explore the creationism/evolution controversy from a mainstream scientific perspective. In other words, the authors of most of the articles in this archive accept the prevailing scientific view that the earth is ancient, that there was no global flood, and that evolution is responsible for the earth's present biodiversity.
