Summary

Ancient Teeth explores the fascinating field of dental paleontology, revealing how fossilized teeth serve as time capsules, unlocking secrets about prehistoric diets, species identification, and evolutionary relationships. Given their durable enamel, teeth are often the most well-preserved remains, offering invaluable insights into extinct organisms and past ecosystems.

 
The book emphasizes how analyzing dental morphology and microwear patterns allows scientists to reconstruct prehistoric diets, shedding light on how ancient creatures adapted to their environments. This book uniquely synthesizes earth sciences, biology, and life sciences to demonstrate how dental remains contribute to our understanding of life's history. It begins with the basics of dental anatomy and preservation before delving into methods like microwear and stable isotope analysis for paleodiet reconstruction.

 
The book then explores how dental features distinguish species and reveal evolutionary lineages. By examining fossil collections and published research, Ancient Teeth provides a comprehensive overview of this underappreciated source of data.

Masters or Slaves? - AI and the...

Jeremy Peckham

Artificial Intelligence (AI) pervades much of our lives. We use facial recognition to open our phones, and the state uses it to track us—so what’s the problem? Decisions are made using machine learning on our private and personal data, from shopping habits to medical history—have we lost control? We order our digital world in conversation with chatbots—how convenient, but is it changing our relationships with people? The prospect of a self-driving vehicle lies just around the corner—should we care that it might run over a child to save the passenger’s life?Jeremy Peckham shows us how we have become seduced by progress, embracing AI applications for their convenience, yet unwittingly diminishing our ability to be God’s image-bearers and losing moral responsibility. Rooted in the biblical truth that humanity is created in God’s image, Masters or Slaves? explores six ways in which AI has an impact today. We are challenged where, and how, to set boundaries, both privately and as a society, in order not to fall into addiction, slavery, and idolatry.

Beyond Evolution - How New...

Dr. Sy Garte

Is it possible that one of the biggest obstacles to harmonizing science and faith can finally be overcome? Respected biologist and former atheist Sy Garte says the answer is yes. A flash point for much of the science vs. faith divide has been Darwinian evolution. Sharing the same mistaken belief that science contradicts the Bible, especially the Genesis account of creation, many scientists and many Christians have concluded that the worlds of science and religion are at odds. But according to biologist Sy Garte, PhD, evolution is irrelevant to the harmony of faith and science. And revolutionary new developments in biology are providing stronger evidence than ever before of a purposeful creator God. In his new book, Dr. Garte combines the latest research with a biblical worldview as he explains: how scientific progress has been hindered by the reluctance of many biologists to follow the evidence wherever it leads because of their fear of opening the door to theism why misunderstandings about both the Bible and science have caused many people to unnecessarily abandon Christianity why evolution by natural selection isn’t as important to science as many people think―and why it matters how new evidence of purpose, agency and decision-making at the cellular level points to a creator God how a reductionist, purely materialistic view of life ignores new advances in science In Beyond Evolution, Sy Garte challenges both scientists and people of faith to follow the evidence wherever it leads―and argues powerfully for why that evidence warrants a belief in God.
