Evolution 2.0

Edward Kelly is a neuroscientist whose research overturns the current popular definition of the mind. We had a fantastic conversation about his non-traditional path in scientific research. He is a scientist at the University of Virginia. 

Why are important conversations so difficult, and why is curiosity the greatest virtue? Dov Baron from British Columbia describes the emotional source code rules that govern our discussions about politics, religion, evolution, cancer, and relationships.Dov Baron has a unique ability to stab at the roots of a problem and recognize its signature pattern. It’s amazing to watch him problem-solve in real-time, and he’s famous for navigating difficult conversations.His website is dovbaron.com.

Perry Marshall spoke at the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics 21st annual conference in Los Angeles, 16 March 2024. He describes how outdated textbook evolution is inhibiting research and keeping us stuck in the old, gene-centric paradigm, and how the Polyploid Giant Cancer Cell model, advocated at a recent conference at MD Anderson in Houston, is a far more elegant model for detecting and treating cancer at the very earliest stages.

EXACTLY 20 years ago this week, I flew to China to see my brother Bryan.We got into an argument on a bus (a story I’ve told 1000 times). He wasbailing on his missionary career and his entire Christian upbringing, and I found this deeply upsetting.Odds are you’ve heard my version of the story: the Evolution 2.0 book andprize, my work in virology and cancer research, and the 1/3 of my life I spent asa member of the science community. It has redefined my life.People always ask how this turned out for Bryan. Odds are you have NOTheard his side of the story! You might be surprised how attentively he haswatched as this has unfolded. www.coffeehousetheology.comhttps://evo2.org/meeting-grendels-mother-in-the-spiritual-swamp/www.evo2.org/bryanBooks on Amazon"Understanding Living Systems" by Denis and Ray Noble"Evolution 2.0" by Perry Marshall"Master and his Emissary" by Iain McGilchrist

Well-known biologist and author Sy Garte, author of the new book “Science and Faith in Harmony” joins Perry. They explore the alignment between science and faith and probe purpose in biology. They discuss the challenges of applying mathematical concepts to biological systems, recognizing that EVERY rule in biology has an exception. The two discuss changing norms in academic discourse, the new journal Biocosmos and "The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics in the Life Sciences.” Sy's book: https://amzn.to/49px5MDSy's website: www.sygarte.comSy's X feed: x.com/sygarte
