Evolution 2.0

Occam's Razor says the simplest explanation is the best. While its application has many subtleties, it tells us that the best model of theory is the one that's most elegant and invokes the fewest extraneous explanations. Johnjoe McFadden is a professor at the University of Surrey in the UK and we discuss simplicity and the mind-bending world of quantum biology.Website: https://johnjoemcfadden.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

Scott Ransom, an author dedicated to reconciling modern evolutionary science with ancient Hebrew texts, shares his fascinating journey from a childhood curiosity about dinosaurs to writing insightful literature. He discusses the clash between faith and scientific beliefs, emphasizing the need for critical thinking. Ransom examines the significance of Genesis in shaping worldviews and advocates for a dialogue that harmonizes faith with scientific understanding, addressing ethical dilemmas and the philosophical foundations of human rights.

Did you know that 99% of the sounds in nature are at frequencies we cannot hear? Karen Bakker opens up an entire universe of sounds and communication between elephants, whales, moths, trees, tissues and even cells. The world around us is buzzing with communication and meaning that few of us ever suspected. Karen’s book The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants tells stories that will amaze you and she shares some of them in this interview.

For many years, we humans have bench-marked ourselves against machines without even realizing it. Many scientists believe that humans really are just machines. Nick Chatrath sharply disagrees and says that the age of AI is going to demand that humans be more human than ever before. He insists that we've never needed a bridge between science and the humanities more than we need it right now. This extends to all aspects of leadership and organization, from startup companies to institutions and governments. Nick Chatrath's book The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI Hosted on Acast.

Paul Nelson of the Discovery Institute blogged about my interview with Joana Xavier lamenting that we did not fully endorse intelligent design. This created a perfect opportunity for us to sit down and talk with Paul in person and discuss our agreements and differences. Here we explore the gray zone between “life is a miracle” and “no miracles allowed” and we ask the question: How can a design paradigm enhance medicine and science research? Joana Xavier is a researcher at University College London and is a staff member with Evolution 2.0.Paul's blog post on Evolution News & Science Today. Perry's Evolution 2.0 interview with Joana.Joana’s website. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joe Riggio, husband explores alternative treatments for his wife's cancer. They spent $2M and tried everything. Fascinating glimpses into many effective treatments. Concluding thoughts on patient responsibility and the business of cancer.

 Reversing Cancer needs your help. Some very specific help. . .I’ve invited Jenny Davis to talk to me about her struggles in the academic and research communities that vividly illustrate the dragon we need to slay. I know you’ll find it fascinating, but more than that, I think it’s highly likely you can help us find a solution. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Karen Wong has a longtime interest in origins and evolution and we discuss what happens when you shift the definition of evolution. Old definition: Changes in gene frequencies acted upon by natural selection. New definition: Self-awareness at fractal levels of scale. Evolution 2.0 by Perry Marshall Biology Transcends the Limits of Computation by Perry Marshall: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... The Importance of Henry H.

Joana Xavier is a rising star in the Origin of Life field. She is a researcher at University College London. She recently authored a paper with Stuart Kauffman on autocatalytic networks, which are nature’s version of M.C. Escher’s hand drawing a hand. We discuss the uneasy relationship between professional scientists and Intelligent Design and then go on to discuss conflicts in academia, science funding, and publishing.   Hosted on Acast.

This podcast explores the connection between evolution and cancer, highlighting the importance of understanding both subjects. It covers various research projects on cancer and evolution, including the significance of genome chaos and chromosome structure. The formation of the organization and key players are discussed, as well as the intersection of biology and computer science. The relationship between cortisol and cancer, childhood trauma's link to heart disease and cancer, and the importance of prevention over treatment are also explored.
