Thinking and Creativity

'Thinking' is one of the important ingredients for creativity. It's essential for human development. This is especially true in research where imagination is more important than knowledge.

I am collecting some nice web pages about thinking and great thinkers. Right now this is a list of links to interesting sites.

• Great Thinkers and Visionaries
• Albert Einstein's life with lots of photos.
• BluePete's list of biographies
• Another list of biographies, organized by sciences.
• Proof of Fermat's last theorem, a must read. Absolute passion for solving the problem is no match for any thing else.
• UG KrishnaMurti's site, Ground breaking thinking. Kind of difficult to digest. Very good read, though.
• Philosophy Pages
• Religion, atheism etc.
  • Exploring Creation/Evolution controversy, read the arguments against creationism.
  • Evolution vs Creationism. a collection of links
  • Is creationism Science?. Any scientist (including me) would immediately say - ofcourse, not ! But heck, people still pursue scientific creationsim.
  • Atheism, Agnosticism etc.
