This presentation in detail shows the relationship between evolution, and Islam and evolution and Social Sciences. Moreover, it explains in detail the criticism of the Darwinian ideas present in social sciences.
This is a powerpoint presentation of one of the Senior High School Core Subject: Personal Development. For this powerpoint, this serves as a presentation about the topic of the definition of self in a psychological point of view.
The history of psychology consists of a prescientific and a scientific epoch. The field of psychology as a scientific endeavor is a relatively new discipline, and borders on various other fields.

No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.
Here is a talk I gave on this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRM7mxCVFI&t=706s
I can send you the original as a Powerpoint or Keynote if you ask in the comments.
Dr. John Oakes taught a class on Modernism and Scientific Materialism at the 2015 International Christan Evidence Conference at York College in York, Nebraska, June 19-21. He gave a brief overview of the history of modern science and then give a world view critique of the philosophy, comparing it to Christianity. Here are notes and power points from the presentation.
Lesson 3 of a multipart series. Everyone has a Weltanschauung and most don’t know it. Defining a Worldview. What is prime reality – the really real? (i.e. God) What is the nature of external reality, that is, the world around us? What is a human being? What happens to a person at death? Why is it possible to know anything at all? How do we know what is right and wrong? What is the meaning of human history?
Dr. John Oakes taught a class titled Christianity in a Postmodern World at the 2013 ICEC at San Diego State University. He proposes a rational Christian response to both the good and the bad which comes with postmodern thinking. The class covers the history of modernism and why it was replaced by postmodernism, as well as a brief bio of the major influences in the movement as well as suggesting both the strengths and weaknesses of the postmodern mood.
Discusses the psychoanalytical implications of Freud's ideas on Hoffmann's Sandman, along with its dominant themes and motifs. It also offers a criticism of Freudian ideas along with the popularity of Neo-Freudianism. Moreover, it also explains the importance of the symbolism of eyes.

Irony’s Edge, ‘It is a relational strategy in the sense that it operates not only between meanings (said, unsaid) but between people (ironists, interpreters, targets). Ironic meaning comes into being as the consequence of a relationship, a dynamic, performative bringing together of different meaning-makers, but also of different meanings’
The Irish Context in Translation Studies Fatima Zahra
Michael Cronin
"Translating Ireland explores centuries of translation activity during which the languages, cultures and literatures of Ireland have been affected by the work of Irish translators in Ireland and elsewhere...”
The two main areas are logical semantics, concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication, and lexical semantics, concerned with the analysis of word meanings and relations between them.

The presentation includes the themes and symbols present in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, It includes videos and photos from the movie Crucible starring Winona Ryder.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
2. What is Evolution?
• A progression in change, often
branching and diversifying in the
process.
Or
• Continuous Variations lead to
Evolution.
3. On the Origin of Species by Means of
Natural Selection:
• A book by Charles Darwin.
• 24 November 1859.
• Put forward the “Theory of
Evolution by means of Natural
Selection”.
4. Survival of the Fittest:
• “ It is not the most intellectual of the species
that survives; it is not the strongest that
survives; but the species that survives is the
one that is able best to adapt and adjust to
the changing environment in which it finds
itself”. Charles Darwin
5. “
To give us room to explore the varieties of mind
and body into which our genome can evolve,
one planet is not enough.” “Evolution,
a fact rather than mere hypothesis, is the central
unifying concept in biology.”
- Charles Darwin
5
“all life on Earth is connected”
6. A WAR of the Worldviews
Science vs. Religion
Evolutionists vs. Creationists
7. Creationists vs. Evolutionists
• “A person’s philosophy of origins will inevitably determine …
what he believes concerning his destiny, and even what he
believes about the meaning and purpose of his life and
actions right now …” Morris (Creationist)
• “Evolutionary theory has been enshrined as the centerpiece
of our educational system, and elaborate walls have been
erected around it to protect it from unnecessary abuse.”
Jeremy Rifkin (Evolutionist)
8. Science vs. Religion:
• “Science and religion are not at odds. Science is
simply too young to understand.”
― Dan Brown, Angels and Demons
• “False facts are highly injurious to the progress of
science, for they often endure long…”
– Charles Darwin
9. No Flexibility creates everlasting Chaos:
• Richard Dawkins: “It is absolutely safe to
say that if you meet someone who claims
not to believe in evolution, that person is
ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but
I’d rather not consider that).”
11. Evolution and Islam:
• Quran constantly calls us to observe the world and
gives us cues on how to reflect. It teaches us how to
see that the universe has a wise, powerful, caring
Creator, and that things do not happen on their own
or randomly. Rather, whoever makes one thing must
be the Maker of all.
• A true Muslim should strive to know and gain
knowledge.
12. Evolution and Islam:
• Accessibility and reasonability of the Qur’anic
discourse means that it is not dependent on
speculations and theories about what might have
happened millions of years ago in order to recognize
the truth (to be sure, scientific study can be useful in
understanding and appreciating the Creator, if
honestly and insightfully developed).
13. Evolution and Islam:
• The claim that the emergence of species on earth
happened without any purposeful cause, is the
WEAKEST point of the theory of Evolution.
• Muslims should be asking questions by
reimagining and rethinking the way it was
thought before.
14.
15. Evolution and Islam:
• WeareDestinedtodie…
• If evolution is the way to get better, why should our DNA have
a program that schedules us to die? If DNA evolved for better
survival, why are we aging? To me, this fact only makes sense
if we reject randomness, and confirm the Qur’anic view that
we are created by One Creator, with a specific Purpose who
designed us in a way that entails we don’t stay in this world
forever.
17. Evolutionist Influencers:
2. Voltaire, French philosopher
• Predicted the end of belief in God in his lifetime
3. Steven Gould
• Admits that we can’t see evolution in progress
• Evolution is based on faith, not fact
18. Evolutionist Influencers:
4. The philosopher Janus Koestler noted that:“The
public continues to believe that Darwin provided all
the relevant answers by the magic formula of
random mutations plus natural selection - quite
unaware of the fact that random mutations turned
out to be irrelevant and natural selections a
tautology.”
19. “A point of view can be a dangerous
luxury when substituted for insight and
understanding.”
― Marshall McLuhan, The Gutenberg
Galaxy: The Making of TypographicMan
20. Evolutionist Influencers:
5. Frederich Nietzsche
• The creator of the “God is dead” movement
• Set the stage for mass murders in the 20th centuryHeavily influenced Hitler,
Stalin and Mussolini, the three “devils” of the 20th century
• Hitler used Nietzsche’s philosophy as his motivation to obliterate the weak and
inferior (helping evolution along)
• Hitler personally gave Mussolini a copy of Nietzsche’s work
• Nietzsche himself spent his last 11 years insane
22. Communism:
6. Karl Marx, father of theoretical communism stated that
Darwin’s theory has “support from natural science”. Scientific
basis of Marxism was evolutionism
7. Mao Tse-Tung regarded Darwin as the foundation of Chinese
scientific socialism. Communists believed in evolution through revolution.
Stalin’s Russian purge killed millions. Mao Tse Tung killed
30M+ in the cultural revolution of the 1960’s.
23. Secular Humanism:
• Humanism is any view that recognizes the value and dignity of the
individual and seeks to better the human condition [a noble goal]
• Secular humanism views mankind as an integral part of nature and thus
denies the human soul
• Limits values to what has value for man
• Ethics and morals become situational
• Denies the existence of God
• The ultimate humanist objective is socialist world government, with the
humanist elite in control
• The UN agency, UNESCO, is particularly influential in this movement
25. Secular Humanism:
• “Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism. What can the
theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour once a week, and
teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a
five-day program of humanistic teaching?
_ Charles Francis Potter, Humanism, A New Religion, 1933.
• “There is no God and no soul. Hence there are no needs for the
props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, the
immutable truth is also dead and buried. There is no room for fixed,
natural law or permanent moral absolutes.”
_ John Dewey, Humanist Manifesto, 1933.
26. Secular Humanism:
• Evolutionary interpretation of natural science is
taught in schools, to the exclusion of any other
interpretation today
• Chawla, 1964, a humanist wrote: “Darwin’s discovery
of the principle of evolution sounded the death knell
of religious and moral values. It removed the ground
from under the feet of traditional religion.”
27. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• Quoted from a weekly in higher education:
• “The social and conceptual revolution that we are
now witnessing ... can be traced back to Darwin.”
Sigmund Freud, the psychologist, banished God from
the soul, like Darwin banished God from life.
Evolution is taught as “fact” in all public schools at all
grade levels
• “Change” is the norm
28. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• John Dewey (of Dewey Decimal fame)
• John Dewey’s philosophy was built on Darwinism and
pantheistic humanism
• “Scientific principles and laws do not lie on the
surface of nature. They are hidden, and must be
wrested from nature by an active and elaborate
technique of inquiry”.
29. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• Historians such as Toynbee
• were dedicated evolutionists.
• “Civilization is a movement
• and not a condition, a
• voyage and not a harbor”
30. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• Philosophies of Karl Marx and Friedrich
• Nietzsche were heavily influenced by
• evolution.
31. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• Social Darwinism - survival of the fittest
applied to economic and social structures
32. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• Sociobiology and the understanding of cultural change as
an evolutionary process are approaches that have a
history and both will continue to be explored in the
future. Each is a flexible instrument, which may be better
suited to some tasks than to others, and may be handled
well by some practitioners and poorly by others. As a
consequence, neither can be said to be ‘verified’ and
‘falsified’ by their track records to date.
_ Sober Elliott
33. Evolution and Social Sciences:
• A basic idea behind evolutionary thinking is that
continuous change is what is normal and expected.
This ends up manifesting itself in such things as
relativistic morality (there is no absolute right and
wrong), and even in our judicial system where law is
seen as something that needs to change to reflect
shifts in popular will.
_ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
34. Racism and Evolution:
• “Mongoloid” became synonymous with mentally defective
people
• “Mentally defective” was a throwback to earlier stage in
evolution“
• Negroid stock is even more ancient than the Caucasian and
Mongolian”, Henry Osborne, Natural History, April 1980.
• Justified treatment of slaves in this country, aborigines in
Australia
• “Jesus was White” became a thing.
35. Even Darwin’s book
“Origin of Species
Through Natural
Selection” had
a subtitle “The
Preservation of
Favored Races in
the Struggle for Life”
36. Solution:
• “I look with confidence to the future, to young and rising
naturalists, who will be able to view both sides of the question
with impartiality”.
_ Charles Darwin
• “To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning
of the world is like wandering about in a great library without
touching the books.”
― Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol
37. “I find that most people that zealously defend Darwin have not actually read Darwin;
definitely not Darwin's second book, The Descent of Man.”
― A.E. Samaan
38. “Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand”
― Hayley Williams
• As Carl Sagan once said, “I do not want to believe, I
want to know”.
• The Qur’an calls us to reflect on a tiny fly, for instance
(Qur’an 22:73).
• “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and
that is that I know nothing.”
― Plato, The Republic
