A New Theory of Evolution

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 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?

Superbugs: Kaizen, Quantum Leaps, And Penicillin

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…

The Exquisite Merger-Acquisitions of Mother Nature

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…

“OK, So Where is God in All of This?”

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…

James Shapiro – Evolution: A View from the 21st Century (Book Review)

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What most people think they know about evolution is 30 to 70 years out of date.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 Video: Evolution in the 21st Century

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 1: Yes, You Can Take It Literally

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:
