Gods Providential Work in Creation Before Life Began God has been present and active in creation from the moment he created it ex nihilo. Few Christians would question this claim, but its implications for ongoing theology and science dialogues have not been fully explored.In this pathbreaking and field-advancing work, Ross Hastings brings his expertise in both scientific and theological disciplines to bear on the topic of divine providence in chemical evolution. Based on the latest research in the developing field of chemical evolution and the work of theological giants such as Karl Barth, Hastings shows how God may have been providentially and non-competitively at work in the process by which simple prebiotic molecules gave rise to the complex molecules in the first living organisms.In God and Molecules, Hastings provides cutting-edge theological engagement with the developing scientific field of chemical evolution, advances the discussion in theology and science with this new integrative work, and offers a holistic alternative for thinking about chemical evolution that overcomes the binary of theology versus science. God and Molecules pushes toward new frontiers in theology and science and casts a compelling, integrative, and ultimately healing vision for how God has been lovingly involved in the developmental process of the earliest life on earth.

Una obra puede leerse tanto como introducción a la astronomía extragaláctica como una meditación sobre la ciencia como empresa humana.Islas del universo no es un libro de astronomía convencional. Es, mas bien, el relato apasionado y lucido de una aventura cientifica: la que nos ha permitido descubrir que habitamos un rincon minusculo de un cosmos colmado de galaxias, estrellas y misterios aun sin resolver. Gaspar Galaz, astronomo y divulgador, recorre en estas paginas la historia de como fuimos comprendiendo el universo extragalactico, desde los rudimentarios telescopios de Galileo hasta los colosos opticos del siglo XXI, instalados bajo los cielos privilegiados de Chile.Al mismo tiempo, este libro es tambien una meditacion sobre el conocimiento, el asombro y la humanidad detras de la ciencia. A traves de un lenguaje claro y narrativo, Galaz no solo explica conceptos complejos con sencillez y rigor, sino que rescata los errores, intuiciones y pasiones de quienes, como el, han dedicado su vida a observar lo inmenso. Un homenaje a las galaxias -verdaderas islas en el universo- y tambien a los hombres y mujeres que, desde sus propias islas interiores, se han atrevido a explorar los confines del espacio.

Many people as they get older have to face leaving a village or town they have loved, a place redolent with memories and connections, to relocate somewhere more as they say manageable. It is different for everyone, and not always easy, for our ghosts go with us.But everything connects with everything else. There is no such thing as a new beginning. Such a move need not be a matter for repining and regret, but a new adventure.This book records just that journey, of having to learn that new place to which Time is bringing you and populate it with its own stock of private memories.Charles Moseley writes about his move from a fenland village to the nearby historic little city of Ely and breathes life into the history, natural world and people who have made his new home what it is today.
