While expert systems technology originated in the United States,
its development has become an international concern. Since the
start of the DENDRAL project at Stanford University over 15 years
ago, with its objective of problem-solving via the automation of
actual human expert knowledge, significant expert systems projects
have been completed in countries rang ing from Japan to France,
Spain to China. This book presents a sample of five such projects,
along with four substantial reports of mature studies from North
American researchers. Two important issues of expert system design
permeate the papers in this volume. The first concerns the
incorporation of substantial numeric knowledge into a system. This
has become a significant focus of work as researchers have sought
to apply expert systems tech nology to complex, real-world domains
already subject to statistical or algebraic description (and
handled well at some level in numeric terms). A second prominent
issue is that of representing control knowledge in a manner which
is both explicit, and thus available for inspection, and compatible
with the semantics of the problem domain."
Voted one of Christianity Today's 1998 Books of the Year For
decades, Christians have felt voiceless in the critical debate over
evolution. Until now. Finally, ordinary Christians have the
opportunity and the resources to defeat the false claims of
Darwinism. With all of the complicated scientific debate swirling
around the topic of evolution, Christians need an easy way to
understand the basic issues without oversimplifying. Phillip
Johnson has the answer: the key to defeating the false claims of
Darwinism is to open our minds to good thinking habits. Here is
first-rate advice on avoiding common mistakes in discussions about
evolution, understanding the legacy of the Scopes trial, spotting
deceptive arguments, and grasping the basic scientific issues
without getting bogged down in unnecessary details. In the
bestselling and critically acclaimed Darwin on Trial and Reason in
the Balance, Phillip Johnson took on the academic elites and
exposed the misleading claims of evolutionary naturalism.Defeating
Darwinism by Opening Minds provides a new and powerful treatment of
these issues for high-school students, parents, teachers, pastors,
youth advisors and ordinary readers. Johnson aims not just to
defeat a bad theory, but to defeat it in the right way-by opening
minds to the truth.
