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…

Subscriber Les asks: Perry, I did read your book. What is God’s role in the model of evolution that you propose? Is he just the designer of the laws of nature according to which life originates by chance and then evolves in an unguided manner? Do you believe that God interferes into his creation by…
Richard Dawkins the famous atheist said that. In poker, a “tell” is a signal that your opponent is lying and he knows it.
The first book to explain how evolution actually works has now been written.
What most people think they know about evolution is 30 to 70 years out of date. The most popular books (even recent ones by very famous authors), sound as though the last five decades of scientific research never happened.
That’s a tall claim, I know. But James Shapiro’s new book “Evolution: A View From the 21st Century” is the first to spell it all out.
James Shapiro is a leading advocate of “A Third Way” – an alternative solution to the dreary Creationism vs. Darwinism debate. He was friends with the eminent scientist Barbara McClintock who won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of Mobile Genetic Elements.
Shapiro discovered Mobile Genetic Elements in bacteria and in many ways has carried on McClintock’s work. In this video, he outlines a half dozen major mechanisms of biological evolution. He also discusses the questions that are raised by 21st century research:

Romans is St. Paul’s grand case for Christian theology. It’s a bulwark of logic and argument. Every great theologian has written extensively on Romans. Paul offers stern words in the first chapter:
For years, scientists believed that the appendix served no purpose, and wondered why it was even present in the human body. Surgeons removed them regularly, and it seemed to have no ill effects on the health of patients.
This has often been held out as proof that evolution is a mindless, unguided process.
“I couldn’t find any referral to the the Craig Venter Institute’s recent achievement.
“Some atheists regard it as another blew to Christianity but in my view it is another scientific achievement that supports Perry’s hypothesis. It proved beyond doubt that DNA is a code . It also proved that DNA is able to code for any type or form of information. It is even able to store the names of the names of the relevant researchers etc…
