Some people think evolution is a myth. Others insist it happens randomly and accidentally, and takes very long. Watch this bacterium evolve in real time and repair damage in a single weekend:

John MacArthur, ally of Young Earth Creation
I grew up in an ultra-conservative, 4 1/2 point Calvinist, expository Bible teaching church. When I was in high school, my church in Lincoln Nebraska brought in a special speaker, the Young Earth Creationist and Bible teacher John C. Whitcomb. He gave a series of talks about science and the Bible.
It was FASCINATING. Ten times more interesting than the usual Sunday Biblical exegesis. A six-part series, a multi-day, power packed tour de force of creation science.
Whitcomb delivered a scorching exposé Read more »
Revolutionary scientific paradigms were first opposed with great force. Gregor Mendel’s genetics was ignored for 20+ years. Ignaz Semmelweis was thrown out of the Vienna General Hospital for 
insisting that hand-washing could stop fatal childbirth infections.
His colleagues mocked him for suggesting there might be critters so tiny you can’t even see them, multiplying right there in his maternity ward.
Einstein’s theory of relativity sounded crazy. The Big Bang theory was met with derision; the term ‘Big Bang’ was intended as an insult. Widespread acceptance took half a century.
Is Darwinism the same, but only taking longer? Read more »
The now-famous Wistar evolution conference took place exactly 50 years ago at the University of Pennsylvania. An all-star panel of mathematicians, biologists and engineers debated the merits of Neo-Darwinism… based on MATH.
The verdict:
The engineers and mathematicians said, “No way Jose.”
The biologists said, “You guys are ignorant. You don’t understand.”
OK, it wasn’t a fist fight… but it was intense. Fascinating to read even 50 years later. MIT and ivy-league guys duking it out over evolutionary theory. Read more »
I invite you to consider…
What if evolution were true, but it wasn’t quite like Darwin said?
What if there were a new evolutionary model that could explain why fossils show almost no change for millions of years…. then suddenly the Cambrian Explosion: Thousands of new species emerge intact, virtually overnight.
What if this new theory pointed the way to new innovations in artificial intelligence and adaptive computer programs?
What if “Evolution vs. Design” wasn’t an either/or proposition – but both+and?
What if, instead of arguing endlessly about fossils, we could precisely track evolutionary history with the precision of 1’s and 0’s?
Charles Darwin believed behaviors a parent learned during his or her lifetime could be passed to children. Many scientists of the time believed that. It was called “Lamarckism” after Lamarck who first proposed the theory.
Later, the Neo-Darwinists laughed Lamarckism right out of the academy. “Silly Lamarck, he didn’t know that DNA mutations are all accidental.” Lamarck was scorned for 100 years.
Turns out both Darwin and Lamarck were right! And as you see in this PBS video, your body is capable of passing an amazing set of adaptations to your children, as epigenetics adapts to situations in real time.
Epigenetics is HOT. It is fast revolutionizing the science of evolution, genetics, and nutrition.
Have you ever thought about WHY you have to take the entire bottle of antibiotics every time you get a sinus infection?
Because a regular ole’ bug can become a SUPERBUG in about 10 minutes.
Unless you napalm the bacteria wreaking havoc on your immune system into oblivion, the tiny little bastards will come back stronger and harder to kill.
And, you, my friend, become the battleground for an all-out war between superbugs and t-cells.
All because of an evolutionary process known as “horizontal gene transfer”.
There are ENORMOUS implications for this in business.
….and most people have NEVER even heard about it.
I go into all of those ideas in-depth (and more) in my new book, Evolution 2.0. Watch the video below where I discuss superbugs and kaizen.
Mother Nature has some pretty stunning capabilities. One of them is the ability of two species to combine and make a stronger hybrid.
One such merger is the marriage of fungi and algae to make: Lichen.
Lichen can make its own food by way of photosynthesis thanks to algae AND protection from the environment through the ailments of fungi.
What if you could follow a simple process in your business to utilize the same symbiosis that mother nature utilizes to evolve?
The concepts are so simple a child could understand them.
–And they can TRANSFORM your business.
I got this missive from Charlie Richardson…
“Some fundamentalist churches equate doctrinal non-conformity with “not walking with Christ.”
So for a lot of folks your idea of “evolving your interpretation” of Scripture, based on science, is anathema and the liberal slippery slope to hell.
I know this from firsthand experience.

One of the most appealing aspects of Young Earth Creationism is, it offers a simple, trouble-free view of God. “God made everything perfect. It was just us HUMANS who messed everything up. It’s all OUR fault.”
Reader Daniel, a Christian, asked:
“I have to say you have a very interesting take on the Bible then. If Adam and Eve were real people and did not do the original sin like you suggest then where did death and suffering come from? Surely God did not create via suffering, that would be an affront to his glory.“
My reply:
