This page is a gate to several sections of Mark Perakh's web site.

1. Faith vs Science    ( http://members.cox.net/perakm/ )        

This section comprises three parts. The first part includes articles discussing the relation  between science and the religious faith from a general viewpoint. The articles in the second part contain a critical discussion of the modern revival of creationism under the label of the "Intelligent Design theory." The third part contains  papers critically reviewing a number of books written by both Jews and Christians with the aim of proving that the biblical story is fully compatible with scientific data.

(Please see the announcement in this section about Mark Perakh's new book titled Unintelligent Design available from Amazon.com and other book-selling outlets).

2. Texts. ( http://members.cox.net/marperak/Texts ).   This section deals with certain properties of meaningful texts vs randomized conglomerates of letters, in various languages.  The effect of the so called Letter Serial Correlation, discovered and studied by the authors of the articles in this section, is described with illustrations from both biblical and non-biblical texts.  This section comprises several parts, of which the first one requires for its full understanding a certain background in mathematical statistics (whereas those interested in the subject but lacking such a background still can get some idea as to the method used, by omitting mathematical derivations).  Other parts could be understood also by people having no knowledge of mathematical statistics.

4. Short stories by Mark Perakh (in English).
