Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

Why artificial intelligence will replace institutional science When Vox Day and his AI collaborator submitted four mathematically rigorous papers challenging neo-Darwinian evolution and one parody paper to six leading AI models configured as peer reviewers, the results exposed a fundamental problem with both science and AI. Five of six models comprehensively failed. Three were anti-calibrated—they reliably preferred fabricated nonsense over genuine science. A parody paper with about Japanese scientists dying fish different colors to prove natural selection scored 9/10. The real science, ...

"Probability Zero represents the most rigorous mathematical challenge to Neo-Darwinian theory ever published. Period." —Frank J. Tipler, Professor of Mathematical Physics, Tulane University THE BONFIRE OF MODERN BIOLOGY For over a century, the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has served as the secular creation myth of the modern world. It has been hailed as the origin of the species, the foundation of modern biology, the cornerstone of the Enlightenment, and the universal acid that redefined Man's place in the universe. But after 150 years of storytelling, the scientific myths ...

What if everything you were taught about evolution was a lie? For years, you’ve been told that you’re an accident. That nothing exploded into everything, that fish turned into philosophers, and that death is just part of the process. But what if the evidence actually points to design, purpose, and a Creator? Because God, Duh! isn’t a soft devotional. It’s a blunt-force truth grenade that dismantles evolution using science, logic, and the unapologetic clarity of Dr. Kent Hovind’s best debates and illustrations. Former hardcore atheist Casey Ocupe walks you through the very evidence...

It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Mark Fisher's haunting diagnosis has defined a generation's sense of political impossibility — the feeling that the cooperative alternative is not just defeated but unthinkable. Peter Kropotkin thought otherwise. The Russian prince who gave up his inheritance to become the nineteenth century's most rigorous defender of human cooperation spent his life assembling the evidence that the dominant story about human nature was wrong — that competition was not the deepest truth about biological and social life, and that ...
