There Are No Equal Signs in Biology
Jay Cross interviews me about my new paper, The Reasonable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics in the Biological Sciences (co-authored with Sy Garte and Stuart Kauffman.) Together we explore why “there are no equal signs in biology,” how this revelation redefines medicine as we know it, and the post-computational, post-permission future of healing—with new hope for people facing serious health challenges. Jay is an accomplished direct response copywriter and researcher with great interest in the “third transition” in science, and this conversation opens that up in a big way. Hosted on Acast.

Beyond Evolution: Purposeful Biology Isn't Just For Christians Anymore
Sy Garte's book, Beyond Evolution, is written for the person who is trying to reconcile their deep yearnings for meaning and significance with the longstanding scientific dogma that nature has no purpose. Not only is the tide shifting dramatically inside of secular science, the new discoveries are connecting gaps between the many factions and divisions within the religious world.Sy GarteEmail: sygarte@gmail.com [mailto:sygarte@gmail.com]Website: https://sygarte.com/Substack: https://sygarte.substack.com/Pre-order Beyond Evolution on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Evolution-Discoveries-Science-Point/dp/B0DJY6PY7H] Hosted on Acast.

Bridging Evolution: A Conversation Between Intelligent Design and Third Way
What happens when researchers from competing scientific worldviews sit down for an honest conversation? In this dialogue, three thinkers—exploring Neo-Darwinism,Third Way evolution, and Intelligent Design—discover unexpected common ground while respecting disagreements. Denis Noble (Oxford University, Third Way evolution, www.thethirdwayofevolution.com), Casey Luskin (Discovery Institute, Intelligent Design, www.evolutionnews.org), and Perry Marshall (Evolution 2.0, bridge-builder, www.evo2.org) engage in the kind of scientific discourse that's increasingly rare: genuine curiosity about opposing viewpoints without the usual academic tribalism.A Third Way evolutionist who challenges both Neo-Darwinian orthodoxy AND Intelligent Design assumptionsAn ID theorist who genuinely appreciates criticisms of mainstream evolutionary theoryDiscoveries of shared ground where opponents thought none existedHonest wrestling with profound questions about consciousness, agency, and the nature of life itselfThis isn't just another evolution debate. It's a case study in how scientists engage across ideological divides to advance understanding. The most profound insights often emerge not from echo chambers, but from healthy tension between opposing ideas. "We don't substitute any certainties whatsoever... let it evolve. Let us find out, let us, for God's sake, be open to what it might be that we discover."Denis Noble Transcript: https://evo2.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Bridging-Evolution-A-Conversation-Between-Intelligent-Design-and-Third-Way-transcript.pdf Hosted on Acast.

What does it mean to truly flourish?
Andrew Briggs started to write the book Human Flourishing just before COVID and then the world went mad. Since then, the world has gotten even madder and many people are clutching their smartphones, wringing their hands, managing their anxiety, or merely existing. What does it mean to flourish and what do people, relationships, and professions look like and feel like when they flourish? In this book, authors Andrew Briggs and Michael J. Reiss and painter Roger Wagner weave together a beautiful picture of the material and immaterial, the concrete and the spiritual. Included here is a reproduction of Roger Wagner's painting It Keeps Me Seeking. The original painting hangs in The Auckland Project Faith Museum: https://aucklandproject.org/attraction/faith-museum/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

New Theory & Practice for Cancer – Azra Raza and Michael Levin
Two of my favorite scientists, Michael Levin and Azra Raza with Aastha Jain Simes, put their heads together in this provocative and touching interview. Azra describes the technology of our new company PredictRX that detects cancer at Stage Negative One.We do this with a “Stentinel,” (starts at 15 minutes in) a stent with electronic sensors that is implanted in the arm and sense Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells (PGCCs) within 18 days of appearing in a patient.Azra begins with an unusual definition of cancer and offers a detailed theory of Hybrid Cells based on her 35 years treating patients. This is a heart-gripping conversation. “If you find a single giant cell in a patient who’s in remission, a 2nd cancer is inevitable.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Irreducible Mind: Why the Current Paradigm is passed its expiration date with Edward Kelly
Edward Kelly, a neuroscientist at the University of Virginia, challenges traditional definitions of the mind with groundbreaking research. He shares his journey through parapsychology and psi phenomena, advocating for a radical shift in scientific paradigms. The conversation also dives into the complexities of consciousness, the role of genetics, and the influence of psychedelics and meditation on public health. Kelly urges the reevaluation of post-mortem survival and the exploration of experiences that defy conventional science, pushing for a broader understanding of reality.
