“When Perry’s brother quit his missionary job and abandoned Christian faith, this plunged Perry into a deep crisis of questioning everything himself. And he decided to put Christian beliefs on the biggest public anvil he could find and invite the whole world to swing a hammer. This became an email list of two hundred and fifty thousand people, millions of website visitors, seven years in the largest atheist discussion board in the world, and in this talk he describes his journey through the darkness and what was left after the smoke cleared.  Hosted on Acast.

Denis Noble, one of the judges for the Evolution 2.0 Prize, discusses in this interview why we can't just put lipstick on a pig - why the public needs to be aware that evolutionary theory has undergone a revolution, and how this affects not only religious and philosophical discussions but policies and actions in medicine economics and politics.This interview was conducted by Ryan Bissett of Chasing Reality. Ryan has a PhD in molecular biology and five years of experience in biotech, but he eventually traded everything to go on a trajectory he could not have imagined. He lived in a van, packed wild food, and even lived as a Hare Krishna monk for five years. His aim now is to understand, "how can I synthesize my scientific training with my newfound narrative of existence?" You can check out his podcast as he interviews thinkers from different field of inquiry about fundamental questions of consciousness and reality, here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChz-a9985r_s6n2EeC6zTgg Hosted on Acast.

Brenda Dunne was a scientist at Princeton University's Engineering Anomalies Research Lab for 28 years, where she and her colleague Robert Jahn performed extensive experiments on telekinesis (displacing objects and changing the behavior of machines by concentration), remote perception (perceiving objects and locations at great distance) and precognition (knowing future events before they happen). They documented with 99.999% statistical confidence that consciousness interacts with matter in undeniable but presently unexplained ways. Here she discusses their work and the implications of a conscious world being complementary to the physical world.

Iconoclast, polymath, renegade and world-class chemist, Steve Benner engineered a new breed of DNA with 8 nucleotide options instead of four. This exponentially increases its data capacity and it’s called Hachimoji DNA. What are the implications of this? Steve sounds off about the conflict between research and advocacy, and the great power of shattering paradigms and admitting what we don’t know. Hosted on Acast.
