The living world is beautiful, intricate and incredibly complex. Whether at the level of microscopic detail or whole ecosystems, our exploration of planet earth is just beginning. In recent years, some believing scientists have challenged the prevailing ideology that evolution is a blind, purposeless, pitiless process. What they and others have found tells a story of cooperation, complexity, order and exquisite detail. Their work also raises a host of questions. How special is our planet? Is DNA universal? Why is everything so beautiful? Is the development of life constrained or channelled in any way? Why do animals help each other? How does intelligence emerge from organic processes? Dr Ruth Bancewicz, in collaboration with prominent scientists, explores these questions in this stunning colour illustrated work that brings biology to life and will inspire wonder in the living world.

    beautiful but unhelpful

    This is a rather beautifully designed and written science book, that explores things like the inner working of cells, artistic molecules, coral reefs, etc. However, it took until the final chapter for them to clearly state the worldview behind this book. Page 172 says: """"Like all the scientists involved in this book, he (Professor Jeff Hardin) believes that God used evolutionary processes to accomplish the task of creation over a period of billions of years. """" I very strongly believe that this is not compatible with the bible, and what the bible says about how God created the world. They use bible verses in the book, and all call themselves Christians, but I would seek other christian science books over this one, such as Answers in Genesis and Creation ministries international, which both have heaps of beautiful and informative books and other resources. I wish their worldview was stated more clearly, so that I could have not wasted money on this book, but hopefully this review will be helpful for others.
