Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Biocosm: The New Scientific Theory of Evolution: Intelligent Life Is the Architect of the Universe

"Biocosm challenges both sides of the controversy over evolution and creationism. This book proposes that life and intelligence have not emerged as a series of random accidents, as Darwinists have maintained, but are hardwired into the cycle of cosmic creation, evolution, death, and rebirth, Gardner's theory of an exponential coevolution of biological and electronic intelligence, offers an extraordinary vision of a universe of point and purpose.

Notice Out Of Books Biocosm: The New Scientific Theory of Evolution: Intelligent Life Is the Architect of the Universe

Poorly written, amateurish, and unconvincing. Even the book's layout, editing, and production values are amateurish. Not since I was grading high school English papers have I read so much direct quotation; seriously, I believe at least one third of the book consists of others' words. I don't mind highly speculative ideas that verge on science fiction. But someone like Paul Davies writes in that vein with much weightier authority, on a solid foundation of deeper thought, better organization, and

The premise of Biocosm is that the universe is oddly life-friendly for scientifically sound reasons that do not include God.Biocosm is a challenging read. Gardner likes technical terminology and tends to get carried away with it. Thankfully, he appended an excellent glossary to assist the layman. He is also versed in a wide range of exotic subjects, and his synthesis of ideas from disparate sources is interesting, and lends a measure of excitement to his theory as one built "on the shoulders of

Somewhat embarrasing

A tese do Selfish Biocosm (Biocosmo Egoísta), apresentada pela primeira vez para a comunidade científica no Congresso Internacional de Astronáutica, no Rio-Centro, Rio de Janeiro em outubro de 2000, é o objeto deste primeiro livro de James Gardner.Ele vislumbra um estado final para o cosmos no qual uma forma muito evoluída de inteligência social - uma comunidade cósmica - reorganiza os patrimônios de massa e energia herdados da Grande Explosão e cria uma renovação cósmica: o nascimento de um

This book is a not completely convincing argument for a very specific and fairly radical thesis--Gardner's Selfish Biocosm Hypothesis. It rushes through a lot of science in order to make its points and is far from a comprehensive overview of new cosmological ideas. That said, it is accessibly written, and by introducing me to less radical but still unorthodox theories, made me consider the cosmos and our reality in a totally new way. It really does seem likely that we are not just a cosmic

This book is a psuedo-scientific, pretentious, poorly-written mess. About half the book is direct quotation from other (more respectable) scientists, and the rest is devoted to James Gardner gloating about how great his ideas are--all while failing to present any evidence for those ideas. You're better off reading the original works he quotes, at least that way the ideas presented will have some context and coherence.
