New Book Discloses True Meaning of Paradox
Tue, 30 Aug 2005, 09:42 EDT — Edited by Carly Zander
HOUSTON, TX - August 30 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Intelligent design versus randomness, or evolution, and duality versus isolationism are current issues being fiercely debated. Surprisingly, the widely embraced rationale that has tipped the scale towards happenstance for almost a century is now coming under assault from different corners within the scientific and educational communities, themselves. This new uprising is appearing in books and articles across the globe boldly challenging old dogmas about design, giving new-founded credence to intelligent structuring in the most unsuspected areas. The newly-released book from iUniverse Publishers, 'Paradox, The Rejected Cornerstone,' by Jane Weir embarks on an eye-opening journey into the obscure realm of paradoxes and proves that instead of mysticism and contradiction these ubiquitous equations, ironically, reveal a secret inner and higher form of order-specifically, the long sought after and ever-elusive universal blueprint.
