" The first is that nature is self-organizing; that is, given a source of energy, there is a tendency for natural systems to evolve from less complex to more complex configurations."
I thought that the 2nd law of thermodynamics was that things went from order to disorder - not that it went for order to more detailed order.
You aid, "It has been estimated that for hundreds of thousands of years, prior to modern times (civilization), the size of the global human population was on the order of about five million people."
Says who?
You say, "This book is devoted to God, and dedicated to my mother, to the memory of my father, and to my wife, Jackie."
You expect me to take seriously the word of anyone who believes in god? Surely, you are joking.
Everything you have written is complete garbage. Not even Jews take the Torah seriously. As for Christianity, or any religion - it's all stuff written by primitive people who had no concept of the differences between fact and fiction.
You graduated in 1966 with a Ph.D, so let's say you were 26 at the time, that would mean you would be about 83 currently.
With respect, you graduated in statistics a very long time ago. You have never worked at a university, and you seem to have been a 'consultant' in statistics, plus you actually think that Torah is Jewish history, and you make statements that the Jews were guilty of genocide. Have you ever looked at Christian history? The crusades, the inquisitions, the millions of people murdered by Christians?
Sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about.
