Description

In the ongoing debate about evolution, science and faith face off. But the truth is both sides are right and wrong.

In one corner: Atheists like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Jerry Coyne. They insist evolution happens by blind random accident. Their devout adherence to Neo-Darwinism omits the latest science, glossing over crucial questions and fascinating details.

In the other corner: Intelligent Design advocates like William Dembski, Stephen Meyer, and Michael Behe. Many defy scientific consensus, maintaining that evolution is a fraud and rejecting common ancestry outright.

There is a third way. Evolution 2.0 proves that, while evolution is not a hoax, neither is it random nor accidental. Changes are targeted, adaptive, and aware. You'll discover:
  • How organisms re-engineer their genetic destiny in real time
  • Amazing systems living things use to re-design themselves
  • Every cell is armed with machinery for editing its own DNA
  • The five amazing tools organisms use to alter their genetics
  • 70 years of scientific discoveries—of which the public has heard virtually nothing!

Perry Marshall approached evolution with skepticism for religious reasons. As an engineer, he rejected the concept of organisms randomly evolving. But an epiphany—that DNA is code, much like data in our digital age—sparked a 10-year journey of in-depth research into more than 70 years of under-reported evolutionary science. This led to a new understanding of evolution—an evolution 2.0 that not only furthers technology and medicine, but fuels our sense of wonder at life itself.

This book will open your eyes and transform your thinking about evolution and God. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for our place in the universe. You'll see the world around you as you've never seen it before.

Evolution 2.0 pinpoints the central mystery of biology, offering a multimillion dollar technology prize at naturalcode.org to the first person who can solve it.

Featured Reviews

Perry Marshall is an electrical and communications engineer and he brings an unique outsider's perspective to the age old question: Where do we come from?

Evolution 2.0 takes us on a logic driven journey into the opposing theories of Neo-Darwinism (evolution though random and accidental mutations) and Intelligent Design (evolution through an intelligent designer).

Perry Marshall has taken centuries of increasingly complex biological and scientific exposition and painstakingly distilled it into user-friendly, understandable language for his readers. Each chapter is conveniently followed by a Bullet Point Summary that updates and keeps track of the unfolding arguments.

I found the Five Blades of Evolution (namely, Transposition, Horizontal Gene Transfer, Epigenetics, Symbiogenesis and Hybridization) fascinating and highly illuminating. Perry Marshall cleverly explains these daunting scientific concepts in a understandable way, without dumbing it down.

Evolution 2.0 has greatly expanded my understanding of evolution and the raging divide.
