Book Description
Moe is not a scientist. He's just a dude. One day when a friend asks him "do you believe in evolution?," he understands it as the scientific community relaxing its rules and embracing everyone's opinion as part of the fact-finding process. So feeling guilty for never having studied science, and out of the goodness of his heart, he lists down what he thinks of every major scientific fact out there as a peace offering for scientists everywhere. These are his 'scientific opinions'.

Book Description
The author has identified misunderstandings by scientists in gene mutation, cell division and the essential role of the sun in all cell growth. The author explains, why each strand of DNA matches a unique wavelength of the sun. The role of the eye, neurons and nerves in passing energy to cells for growth. Why gene mutation is not a copying error but a routine natural process for survival. How plants adjust genes retrospectively in the autumn to survive better in the local climate. Why cancer tumours may be shrunk by dispersing the energy in a nerve with a needle. The author suggests the processes that enabled evolution from simple pond life to a highly intelligent man and concludes that man's design was achieved by his own effort. He designed himself!

Book Description
The evolution of gravitational tests from an epistemological perspective framed in the concept of rational reconstruction of Imre Lakatos, based on his methodology of research programmes. Unlike other works on the same subject, the evaluated period is very extensive, starting with Newton's natural philosophy and up to the quantum gravity theories of today. In order to explain in a more rational way the complex evolution of the gravity concept of the last century, I propose a natural extension of the methodology of the research programmes of Lakatos that I then use during the paper. I believe that this approach offers a new perspective on how evolved over time the concept of gravity and the methods of testing each theory of gravity, through observations and experiments. I argue, based on the methodology of the research programmes and the studies of scientists and philosophers, that the current theories of quantum gravity are degenerative, due to the lack of experimental evidence over a long period of time and of self-immunization against the possibility of falsification. Moreover, a methodological current is being developed that assigns a secondary, unimportant role to verification through observations and/or experiments. For this reason, it will not be possible to have a complete theory of quantum gravity in its current form, which to include to the limit the general relativity, since physical theories have always been adjusted, during their evolution, based on observational or experimental tests, and verified by the predictions made. Also, contrary to a widespread opinion and current active programs regarding the unification of all the fundamental forces of physics in a single final theory, based on string theory, I argue that this unification is generally unlikely, and it is not possible anyway for a unification to be developed based on current theories of quantum gravity, including string theory. In addition, I support the views of some scientists and philosophers that currently too much resources are being consumed on the idea of developing quantum gravity theories, and in particular string theory, to include general relativity and to unify gravity with other forces, as long as science does not impose such research programs.

Book Description
Home Ecophagus by Warren M. Hern is a wide-ranging look at the major problems for the survival of not just the human species, but all other species on Earth due to human activities over the past tens of thousands years. The title of the book indicates Hern’s new name for the human species: "The man who devours the ecosystem." Over the course of its evolution, Hern observes, humans have evolved cultures and adaptations that have now become malignant and that the human species, at the global level, has all the major characteristics of a malignant neoplasm – converting all plant, animal, organic, and inorganic material into human biomass or its adaptive adjuncts and support systems. Hern contends that this process is incompatible with continued survival of the human species and most other species on the planet, offering a diagnosis and prognosis of the current environmental impasse.
