Anthony Hilb lives with asthma and chronic respiratory issues. In May 2025, he experienced a medical crisis that caused him to briefly lose consciousness and have a near-death experience. In this conversation, Anthony shares what he encountered during those crucial minutes and what the experience has meant to him since. We also explore documented accounts…

The presentations at Denis Noble’s Oxford 2026 Evolution conference are not just philosophical / academic dithering, but impact health care, technology, disease. Your life. When your sister-in-law gets diagnosed with breast cancer, her doctors are shooting at gene mutations… while the genome rearranges its entire chessboard. No wonder resistance appears in months. Understanding actual evolutionary…

10 years ago Denis Noble had a standoff with 23 Royal Society Fellows and it took a minor miracle for his 2016 Evolution conference to take place. That once conference radically shifted the field. Denis is a physiologist famous for figuring out how the cardiac rhythm works. He knocked out genes to figure out how…

Jay Cross interviews me about my new paper, The Reasonable Ineffectiveness of Mathematics in the Biological Sciences (co-authored with Sy Garte and Stuart Kauffman.) Together we explore why “there are no equal signs in biology,” how this revelation redefines medicine as we know it, and the post-computational, post-permission future of healing—with new hope for people…

Perry describes a series of life changing “thin place” experiences that shifted his reality. This was presented to Adam Safron’s Sapience group followed by a guided meditation and a Q&A at the end. A further expansion on these ideas is online at perrymarshall.com/ireland. Link to this podcast here.

Listen to the podcast here! Sy Garte’s book, Beyond Evolution, is written for the person who is trying to reconcile their deep yearnings for meaning and significance with the longstanding scientific dogma that nature has no purpose. Not only is the tide shifting dramatically inside of secular science, the new discoveries are connecting gaps between…

What happens when researchers from competing scientific worldviews sit down for an honest conversation? In this dialogue, three thinkers—exploring Neo-Darwinism, Third Way evolution, and Intelligent Design—discover unexpected common ground while respecting disagreements. Denis Noble (Oxford University, Third Way evolution, www.thethirdwayofevolution.com), Casey Luskin (Discovery Institute, Intelligent Design, www.evolutionnews.org), and Perry Marshall (Evolution 2.0, bridge-builder, www.evo2.org) engage…

I got a question from an astute reader: I picked this passage out of a book as an example to help raise a philosophical question about biology and purpose and intent: There are many connected species that deal with dead animals in a river system. There are species in the water and species on the…

Assembly Theory and the Third Transition in Science Before I describe Life as No One Knows It, I need to point out that Sara Imari Walker has achieved something extraordinarily difficult. Despite being a highly credentialed scientist with first class collaborators (including Lee Cronin, Paul Davies and her team at ASU), the task she’s undertaken…

Andrew Briggs started to write the book Human Flourishing just before COVID and then the world went mad. Since then, the world has gotten even madder and many people are clutching their smartphones, wringing their hands, managing their anxiety, or merely existing. What does it mean to flourish and what do people, relationships, and professions…
