The world’s 5 most popular evolution books are: College textbook Evolution by Douglas Futuyma; Selfish Gene, Extended Phenotype and Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins; and Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. All sidestep and even dismiss the most vital discoveries of evolutionary biology. This Infographic details their omissions. (Click here to download PDF) Read more »

Two of Charles Darwin’s best ideas – rubbished for a century – turned out to be right all along. Join me and Oxford professors Paul Flather and Denis Noble for this 15 minute mini-documentary at Darwin’s Downe House estate in Kent, England:
Famed Researchers Highlight Glaring Omissions About the Power of Our Cells
Say Modernizing What We Teach About Our Ability To Influence Evolution Can Change How Medicine Is Practiced
OXFORD, England, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Misunderstandings and omissions from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution have spawned massive failures in cancer, antibiotics and nutrition – and it’s time to rediscover the real Darwin. That’s the view of famed Oxford scientist Denis Noble, creator of the first 3-D model of the heart, longtime author on evolutionary change and scientific advisor to the $10 Million Evolution 2.0 Prize created by biotech company Natural Code LLC.
Why is there evil and suffering?
Why is Old Testament Biblegod so mean and nasty?
Why doesn’t God stop the injustice?
Does God have a right to create an evolutionary universe?

Everyone asks: “Why is there evil and suffering in the world?”
Eric Kuelker Ph.D. R.Psych. discusses reliable but little known research linking cancer and heart disease to traumatic life events and stress. It turns out that psychotherapy and relationship repair reduce the chances of cancer and factors like marriage extend life more than medical treatments do. This may extend it down to the cellular level.

Mark Chenoweth is a theologian with a particular interest in St. Maximus the Confessor (700 AD) and St. Gregory of Nyssa (400 AD) who wrote about life on earth as a goal directed process as opposed to a series of divine miracles. Their ideas were very much in line with the ancient Greeks who have been greatly under-estimated by modern thinkers.
Here we hear Mark’s story of being drawn into evolutionary science and what implications this has for modern people.
Mark’s paper is called “A Maximian Framework for Understanding Evolution”.

Mark Chenoweth received his M.Div. and Th.M. from St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary and is an adjunct professor at St. John’s University in New York. His articles have been published in scholarly journals such as St. Vladimir’s Quarterly, and he is hoping to soon begin a dissertation on the theology of St. Maximus the Confessor.
Today July 1 2021 at 11am Eastern, 10 Central, 8 Pacific, 5pm London, Evolution 2.0 is hosting the monthly Cancer & Evolution zoom call. Our speakers are Kimberly Bussey and Azra Raza.
Azra will be showing how to detect cancer at Stage NEGATIVE One. The work she is presenting today is GROUNDBREAKING. Azra (upper right) is a force of nature and listening to her speak is an experience.
Kimberly (lower right) will show how cancer’s triggering systems look to be 600 million years old, found in ancient bacteria – so she’s explaining methods of identifying those behaviors EARLY not late.
This is PhD level discussion. SOME will be over most lay peoples’ heads – but not all. That’s because the scientists joining these calls are from many different fields, therefore speakers have to minimize “inside my specialty” jargon.
Azra’s is particularly lay-friendly. 30 minute presentations X2 plus 30 
minutes of Q&A.
11am Eastern, 10 Central, 8 Pacific, 5pm London

Sam Devis is a former pastor who experienced a faith deconversion a couple of years ago similar to that of my brother, Bryan.
After reading Evolution 2.0, Sam and I got together to discuss my journey from fundamentalism to where I am today. We cover many fascinating aspects from Darwinist Jerry Coyne’s outrage to the nature of fundamentalist belief structures to evolution and entrepreneurship to questions about the cosmos and freewill.

Why Siri is not going to “Wake Up” anytime soon – Cancer, Evolution and the Nature of Nature: Part 3
In the year 2000, Silicon Valley titan Bill Joy delivered a bombshell in Wired magazine: “Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us.” He warned: Future machines will have no need of human beings, and we will have to compete with them for resources.
Not only is this NOT going to happen, it’s a handy distraction from the real problem.
All those sci-fi “computers taking over the world” stories like HAL9000 and Terminator are impossible given the current definition of computer.
As are the predictions of mass unemployment. As is the much-ballyhooed “singularity” when we humans upload ourselves into the cloud and become immortal.
Such scenarios require something vastly different than anything we are building today.
