Algeny: A New Word—A New World

Algeny: A New Word—A New World; A Provocative Critique of Darwinism, the Age of Genetic Engineering, and Our Relationship to Nature () is a controversial book written by American economist and published by Penguin Books in 1983.
==Overview==
Algeny claims to be a controversial reevaluation of Darwinism, a critique of the coming era of bioengineering, and a critical examination of the way we view our relationship with nature.Algeny: Viking Press, 1983 The Foundation on Economic Trends (archived from September 2006). This book entry was later purged from Rifkin's own website (FOET). Darwinian evolution, Rifkin holds, is a product of 19th century industrial capitalism. Rifkin claims that natural selection is under attack; however, his book confuses "Darwinism" with evolution. According to a review of the book:
Rifkin claims he is not a creationist, yet his book is filled with anti-evolution arguments, and because of this the book is usually quote-mined by creationists.Creationists' misuse of quotations by Edward T. Babinski (March 11, 2004) Scrivenings via Blogspot.
==Reception==
Stephen Jay Gould in a 1985 issue of Discovery magazine wrote:Entropy, Algeny & The End of Work, review by Howard Doughty (updated September 24, 2001) The Innovation Jounral (archived from April 22, 2004).
It has been cited by intelligent design proponents as a book which supposedly dismantles Darwinism.The top three books that helped change me from a mindless, irrational Darwinist into an ID proponent by Gil Dodgen (February 4, 2011) Uncommon Descent. 
In a review of the book, Stephen C. Maxson wrote "Rifkin does not believe in evolution of species. In his view, species are separate entities with natural and impenetrable reproductive boundaries, thus there is no genetic or biological relationship between one species and another.""Genes, Species, and Evolution: A Critique of Rifkinism" by Stephen C. Maxson (1987) Politics and the Life Sciences 5(2):289-290. doi:10.1017/S0730938400002471. Rifkin's criticisms of evolution are no different from those of the religious creationists (e.g. baraminology) and have been dismissed by the scientific community.

Alice Bailey

Alice Bailey was the writer of a series of books on esoteric occult subjects, heavily influenced by Theosophy, reincarnation, and astrology as well as Christianity and a heavy smattering of pseudoscience.
While her books are typical hard-to-understand muddle like most in that field, she is claimed by some to be a major influence on today's New Age beliefs, although she is not widely read in those circles.
Bailey's books claim that there is a benevolent spiritual hierarchy of ascended masters overseeing events on Earth and guiding humanity into higher levels of existence. Her writings contain an early example (in 1940) of the term New World Order to refer to a social democratic government she believed this spiritual hierarchy would guide humanity after World War II. She believed this hierarchy would eventually reveal themselves to mankind and "The Christ" would return to Earth, this time in the form of Maitreya (a figure from Buddhism) rather than Jesus.
Alice Bailey's writings have been accused of anti-Semitism because of her strong opposition to Zionism and her belief that Orthodox Judaism would have to end through the intermarriage of Jews with other people before The Christ would return.

Alice Weidel

Alice Weidel is the xenophobicGerman election: Meet Alice Weidel, leader of the far-right AfD party, transphobic 'I don’t want anyone with their gender idiocy or their early sexualisation classes coming near my children.', EuroscepticThe New Face of AFD: How Right-Wing is Alice Weidel? (Der Spiegel), hypocritical, and Islamophobic token lesbian leader of the Nazi party's spiritual successor in Germany, Alternative for Germany. She used to be a banker for Goldman Sachs, giving her a bit of actual credibility in the realm of economics but must have made the mistake of reading Mein Kampf and Ayn Rand's novels, falling into the rabbit hole of the far-right. All jokes aside, she may actually have read something that convinced her to move to the right, though; her old colleagues and friends at Goldman Sachs have said that they are shocked at her transformation from banker to right-wing political leader.
==Personal life==
Alice Weidel is openly homosexual and raised two sons with her partner, who was born in Sri LankaAlice Weidel: Jung, lesbisch und sehr weit rechts kurier.at, 20. September 2017. She is registered at her parent's house in Baden-Württemberg, but pays her taxes in Switzerland. According to German newspaper Die Zeit, Weidel hired an Islamic studies student in 2015 , and later (possibly illegaly) employed a Syrian refugee, to do housework at her Swiss home. Weidel herself stated that the Syrian was a friend of hers who did not work for her.German far-right leader accused of illegally hiring Syrian refugee: report politico.eu, September 13, 2017 
==Islamophobia and xenophobia==
Weidel stays consistently on the official AfD party line against Islam and migration, although she is generally considered relatively liberal in public, compared to ethnic nationalists like Björn Höcke. An email leaked in 2017 conflicts with this viewpoint. In it, Alice Weidel describes Arabs, Sinti and Roma as "cultural alien people" and endorses the Great replacement conspiracy theory.Haben Sie die Mail geschrieben, Frau Weidel?zdf.de,01. February 2023 In an interview with Die Welt, she also claimed that Islam in general is not only a religion, but a political system that is not compatible with the German constitution nor with European secularism and is abusing religious freedom.„... was hier unter dem Deckmantel der Religionsfreiheit abläuft“welt.de, 16.

Alister McGrath

Alister McGrath is Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford and Gresham Professor of Divinity.E. McGrath He is a sophisticated theologian who spends his time tearing off the mask of nature to stare at the face of God studying theology.
==Early life and views==
He claims that he used to be an atheist and a Marxist.Breaking the Science-Atheism Bond He believed atheism and science were complementary worldviews, but changed his view and became a Christian.
==Arguments and refutations==
===Debate with Richard Dawkins===
All quotes and arguments come from the debate between McGrath and Richard Dawkins.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LGm0iWPC80
*"I think the issue of where God comes from is a very significant question, but from a Christian perspective, that isn't really the question that is to be asked. The idea is that God was there before everything..."
::Clearly a case of special pleading.
*"Again you've raised some very interesting questions, and again you've highlighted some tensions inside Christian theology, and certainly, the way of approaching things that I would want to adopt would be this: Not to begin with a predetermined or preconceived idea of God, 'God must be simple' or 'God must be complex', but rather to try and infer what god must be like on the basis of what God has done or in terms of what God has revealed Himself to be. And thus, I think the point they should make actually might be driven to some extent by a preconceived idea of what God must be like."
::Highlighted parts show how McGrath contradicts his premise in the very next sentence. This is a self-refuting idea. 
*He inconsistently argues that God will choose to save some people from disasters, yet not others, but will not intervene to stop the other people from dying in the disaster.
===The Dawkins Delusion===
In 2010, he released (through Veritas Books) The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine, his critique of The God Delusion.The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine (Veritas Books)

All News Pipeline

All News Pipeline or ANP is a conspiracy theorist news site. It was founded in July 2014 by Stefan Mark Stanford (aka Live Free or Die) and Susan Duclos,http://allnewspipeline.com/index.php?pr=About two contributors to Before It's News, who thought BIN was too soft on reporting the truth about everything (though they still occasionally post to BIN as well).
Nearly every one of their rants features Alex Jones, and many contain grammatical errors. Its articles are sufficiently wacky that many people cry Poe, but it seems that it is in fact entirely sincere.
It also features video interviews with fellow conspiracy theorists.
The site has a huge fear of shills, even compared to other, more well-known conspiracy theorist sites. Many true believers have been banned from the site due to tiny quarrels with the site admin, who watches the comments intent to catch anyone who dares question his assertions. Your quick ban will come with a side order; a comment accusing you of being a shill, a deleted comment or both if you get the 'Admin is having a bad day' special.Every other comment in the more popular articles is just the staff making accusations of shilling

Allele

An allele is a variation of a gene.
==Alleles in the genome==
Most genes only have one allele; however, some have multiple variants. For example, the gene for eye color in humans (and some other animals) has several alleles: blue, green, brown, etc. In paired chromosomes, it is possible to have two alleles present, one in each copy of the chromosome. Where both alleles are the same in the pair, the organism is referred to as homozygous with respect to that gene. Where the alleles are different, it is referred to as heterozygous.
==Dominant and recessive genes==
Alleles can be described as "dominant" or "recessive" and a mixture of the two can appear in allele pairs in the genome. In some cases, one allele will be dominant while the other is recessive, and the dominant gene will be the only allele expressed. Only individuals with two recessive alleles of a gene (homozygous recessive) will express the recessive form. Genes may also be co-dominant (both or all alleles expressed) or have incomplete dominance (alleles "blend" to form an intermediate type in the phenotype).

Allen R. Schindler, Jr

Allen R. Schindler, Jr was a person who served in the U.S. military until he had his head and body brutally stomped in by two sailors, Terry M. Helvey and Charles Vins, because he was gay. Helvey received life in prison, but Vins was allowed to plea bargain as guilty to three lesser offenses, including failure to report a serious crime, and to testify truthfully against Helvey. Vins served a 78-day sentence before receiving a general discharge from the Navy. Later, Helvey was quoted as saying, "He deserved it."Jameson, Sam. "U.S. Sailor Sentenced to Life Imprisonment in Murder". The Tech. The Tech Online Edition. May 28, 1993. http://www-tech.mit.edu/V113/N28/sailor.28w.txt.html. His death ultimately resulted in President Clinton fostering the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, which progressed from something designated to protect the military into a right wing anti-gay campaign.

Allen Steere

Dr. Allen Steere is a professor of rheumatology, a medical researcher, and the discoverer of Lyme disease. Steere discovered Lyme disease in 1976 when he noticed a cluster of people with similar unexplained symptoms, which other doctors initially believed were juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, in a heavily wooded Connecticut town called Lyme (and the next town over, which is conveniently named Old Lyme),Stalking Dr. Steere over Lyme disease New York Times though the bacteria responsible were not discovered until 1982.Lyme Disease: Questions and Answers Steere was also a leader of the research for the Lyme vaccine,SCIENTIST AT WORK: ALLEN C. STEERE New York Times though it was taken off the market in 2002.
==Chronic Lyme disease==
Steere is an outspoken critic of so-called "chronic Lyme disease" - the belief that Lyme's infection of the body is persistent and not treatable with the two-to-five week antibiotic coursesILADS Guidelines recommended by the people who actually do science and research and that kind of stuff.IDSA Lyme disease guidelines Steere believes that those who do suffer from Lyme-related symptoms after treatment do so because of autoimmune effects of the Lyme-causing bacteria,Allen Steere, MD Research profile not because of persistent infection. He believes others never had Lyme in the first place, instead having either chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. Despite the agreement of most medical experts that chronic Lyme disease is not real, CDC: Lyme Disease Treatment and PrognosisNIAID on Lyme disease a substantial number of patient "advocacy" groups and individual "advocates" arose to promote chronic Lyme diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately for Steere, a major form of advocacy is intimidating, harassing, stalking, and writing death threats toward him.

Allopathic

Allopathic is a snarl word invented by homeopathetic medicine founder Samuel Hahnemann, and used by quacks, to disparage evidence-based medicine, and the real doctors and other trained professionals who practice it.
No one knows what its roots are, but allo is a derivation of the Greek, meaning "different". This was in contrast to the homeo in homeopathic, which means "same", referring to Hahnemann's false theory of "like cures like."
Generally, allopathic medicine refers to "the broad category of medical practice that is sometimes called Western medicine, biomedicine, scientific medicine, or modern medicine"Legal Status of Traditional Medicine and Complementary/Alternative Medicine: A Worldwide Review, 2001. Accessed 2007-09-121—in other words, it's the stuff that works. However, by homeopathy's definition, all non-homeopathic medical ideas must be allopathy since they aren't based on "like cures like"; this means that ironically, according to the original definition, every other kind of "alternative" medicine (like herbalism, vitamins, chiropractic, etc.) is also part of allopathy.
It is also sometimes used as a term to distinguish osteopathic medicine education from that received by other medical doctors in the US.http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=195503 Academic Geriatric Programs in US Allopathic and Osteopathic Medical Schools] citation by way of example
The use of the term outside of the academic discussion of the philosophy of medicine, or the specific context of osteopathic education as previously mentioned, is generally a dead giveaway that the speaker is a True Believer in alternative medicine.

Alpha waves

Alpha Waves are electric neural oscillations in the human brain, that can be recorded by EEG. They indicate a lack of visual processing and a lack of focus.The Skeptic's Dictionary - alpha waves
In hypnosis, meditation, and other "altered states", these brain waves are seen as beneficial and desirable, despite evidence that they occur mostly under unpleasant or un-relaxed conditions, as an indicator of a loss of visual processing.http://web.archive.org/web/20021017171518/http:/www.monroeinstitute.org/research/alpha-binaural-beat.html
== Woo ==
Alpha waves have also been used in handwaving proofs by medical woo and brainwave woo practitioners.http://web.archive.org/web/20050408155609/http:/www.appledrugs.com/WeightLoss.htm There is no evidence to support that alpha waves assist in the regeneration of the body while asleep, or that they are in any way beneficial to thought. In fact, the lack of focus they indicate would seem to indicate the contrary.
There are also new age claims that inducing a Schumann Resonance at alpha wave frequency -- presumably by having everyone on the planet meditate at the same time -- will heal mother Earth and bring about peace and harmony and stuff.
You can, however, control a computer with your alpha waves, if the computer has apparatus for detecting them.Controlling Computers with Neural Signals from Scientific American Magazine, Oct. 1996

AfS bet hard that they would get into the Riksdag in the 2018 general election, spending a lot of resources on their campaign. They ordered 10 million ballot papers for the 2018 election, which cost them around 600,000 Swedish kronor.https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/gPnwOJ/tre-gripna-i-samband-med-afs-demonstration

* Their immigration policy involves "active repatriation",. Alternative for Sweden. (in Swedish) which in layman's terms means deporting all immigrants back to their home countries. 
* They want to switch from progressive tax to a flat tax. 
* While the Great Replacement conspiracy theory does not appear as part of the official party line, many high-ranking members have shown support for it.
* AfS wants to remove "hets from folkgrupp" ("agitation against an ethnic group", which is similar to in Germany) from the Criminal Code, since they believe that it is too open for "interpertation" and is used to suppress freedom of speech. This is probably because AfS have been accused of it several times.https://www.dn.se/nyheter/politik/polisanmalan-om-hets-mot-folkgrupp-i-visby/https://www.sydsvenskan.se/2018-09-03/afs-talare-anmald-for-hets-mot-folkgrupp

Altruism

Altruism is a somewhat nebulous concept that involves "doing something for someone (or thing) else without being motivated to gain something for oneself". The idea has evolved over thousands of years as a social strategy when "every man for himself" didn't pan out so well. At least in social species like humans, there is some reason to believe that altruism may be the key to an advanced society.Is Sharing the Key to an Advanced Society?, The Raw Story We'll let you figure out the implications of that idea.
Some may also say that altruism in humans happens because you sincerely want others to be happy whether you feel good about it or not. After all, people do 
Cynically, the very act of "selflessly giving" is prima facie selfish in the sense that it makes one feel like a really awesome Christ-like helping/healing person (going along the lines of "if you're not getting something out of altruism, then why are you doing it"). Just because you received the feeling of awesomeness does not mean that that was your motivation, but let's be real, you wouldn't do it if you didn't get some validation, even if only internal.
Outside of deeply-felt Christian charity, altruism is usually genetically beneficial anyway.
Kin selection is an evolutionary strategy observed in humans in which they favor the reproduction and success of their close relatives and people that look like them; altruism is sometimes caused by a subconscious racism.Wikipedia:Altruism#Evolutionary explanations
