Evolution 2.0

Azra Raza treated cancer patients for 30 years, but not even the loss of her Oncologist husband could provoke her to write a book. It took the death of her daughter’s dearest 22 year old friend - when suddenly she realized she had to speak up. Here we discuss the one most important thing that The System overlooks - THE PATIENT’S ANGUISH - and speaks out about the state of cancer research in the 21st century. Groupthink, sexism, ignorance of history, and absence of empathy… and no one is in charge.A quarter-trillion dollars later, we’re still carrying out the same punishing treatments we were doling out in the 1970s - where life extensions of six weeks are heralded as "breakthroughs." We discuss the “Cancer Cambrian” and the great black hole that is our grasp of cancer cellular evolution. Finally, witness Azra’s dream of a superior system for detecting and beating cancer.

James Tour, a renowned nanochemist at Rice University, has been openly critical of Origin Of Life literature for being too optimistic, too sanguine and at times misleading. See this video for example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU7Lww-sBPg When Perry Marshall took part in a discussion on the Unbelievable show with Denis Noble and Lee Cronin, host Justin Brierley mentioned Tour and his criticism. A reaction ensued, which led to Tour and Cronin going head to head on an international radio program and podcast. Here, we re-broadcast the scene that provoked the controversy and the debate that followed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Addy Pross is a Chemist at Ben Gurion University in Israel. He's author of "What is Life: How Chemistry Becomes Biology" by Oxford University Press. Here we enjoyed a great conversation about his specialty, Systems Chemistry, a new branch of science that enables us to build complex networks of chemical reactions like those found inside of cells. We explore the unanswered questions that continue to perplex scientists of all kinds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lynn Margulis, who died in 2012, was a piercing luminary in the history of evolutionary theory. She overturned the money changer's tables in the temple of science and infuriated a lot of people. But history has continued to vindicate her. In this interview, she and Conner explore a very different way of thinking about life itself and you’ll hear her brilliant mind and feisty posture.Conner Habib's Patreon: Patreon.com/connerhabib Hosted on Acast.

Michael Behe infuriated traditional Darwinists with his concept of irreducible complexity more than 20 years ago. He argues instead for Intelligent Design. But what does ID really mean? Is it a puff of smoke? A perfectly executed pool shot at the start of the Big Bang? External intervention at various points along the way? Intrinsic cellular intelligence? Perry Marshall and Michael Behe discuss where to draw the dotted line.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joel Salatin is a "Christian Libertarian Environmentalist Capitalist Lunatic" who is re-inventing the way food is grown, distributed and consumed. Here we examine how current legislation is based on 1906 technology, and the new culinary entrepreneurship that is expanding as we break the shackles of 19th century "Darwinian" agriculture.

Michael Heiser, whose podcast “The Naked Bible” got five million downloads this year, studied Hebrew at the University of Wisconsin and was confronted with a dilemma: How do you reconcile common modern interpretations with the nuances of what the ancient texts actually say? His journey revealed an Unseen Realm that is very different from the assumptions modern people bring to these stories. We had a delightful conversation about implicit assumptions. Hosted on Acast.

How is it that good scientific theories can take 200 years to catch on while bad theories hang on for a century...even when empirical evidence that could settle the issue is close at hand? Rich Jacobs of the FutureTech Podcast asked if we could talk about how scientists can better market themselves and this is the conversation that unfolded. {LINK to FutureTech Podcast: https://www.futuretechpodcast.com/} Hosted on Acast.

What does Jordan Peterson really believe about religion? Is “the Intellectual Dark Web” just another 2018ism? Are archetypes enough to save the next generation? Esther O’Reilly achieved fame in the blog world with her incisive commentary about Jordan Peterson. I caught up with her and we explored the no man’s land between the faith world and the academic world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
