The theory of evolution was formulated on the idea that all species originated from a common ancestor, in the form of a primitive organism which arose from chemicals. Being under the impression that the cell was just a jelly like substance and unaware of its true complexity and viewing it as a black box, conclusions were drawn based on superficial observations and invalid extrapolation projected into a larger picture, that existed only in one's imagination. In Darwin's day a cell could be magnified only a few hundred times with a light microscope, but now it is possible to magnify the cell a billion times revealing its true complexity. (Cell information from Michael Denton's "Evolution A Theory in Crisis") Evolution being contested here is macroevolution not microevolution The first part of this book deals with the various evolutionary scenarios which contradict reason and logic, natural laws and science. In later chapters, evolution is disproved by intelligent design and science. Since the theory was based on superficial observations, the conclusions arrived at can be subject to guesswork and one's imagination, so it is not necessary to continue to believe in this outdated theory, considering the complexity of the cell is now known. It is therefore not necessary to be a creationist or be of any particular beliefs, to realise that this theory is without foundation. Reason and logic when used effectively can eliminate a lot of long evolutionary explanations that lead no where and the conclusion can be arrived at in a book with only a few pages as the theory is riddled with implausible assumptions. The conclusions of science outweigh all the implausible evolutionary scenarios, which have been proven to be invalid by the reasons stated previously which will be explained later in the book. The reason why some believe in this theory is due to insufficient knowledge on what the theory represents, so the purpose of writing this book is to ensure that one is armed with the proper information to arrive at a proper conclusion

Universal Mathematics 8 and 9 was written so that any one reading the book would understand the materials. The book should be used in conjunction with your regular text book. The use of counters, grids, arrows etc are not used to explain integers, fractions, decimals, percent etc as in my experience in teaching mathematics for the last ten years, students find these methods difficult to understand. The topics in the book are explained in a few easily understood pages without the use of the above mentioned methods. A better approach is used to explain equations. For example the use of opposite operators when moving across the equal sign is explained. A number of word problems involving mixtures, speed, interest, numbers, ages etc are worked out which makes the learning process easier. Grades 8 and 9 are combined into one book as any one starting grade 9 would need the materials covered in grade 8 to better understand grade 9. Chapters one to nine are grade 8 and the rest are grade 9. Some of the topics covered are integers, fractions, decimals, percent, rates. ratios, measurements. equations. probabilities, transformations, exponents, bedmas, polynomials, solving word problems with equations. This book will really help you understand mathematics.
