Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Evolution 2.0 is a remarkably meticulous dissection of the experimental evidence on evolution. Forget the dogmatic Neo-Darwinist assumption that new species originated only through gradual accumulation of random mutations. Weismann and Wallace were demonstrably wrong and their theory needs to be replaced with an integrative synthesis. Perry Marshall and I have entered this debate from entirely different fields. He starts from information theory and practice, I started from research on the heart's pacemaker, but we have come to almost identical conclusions.

—Denis Noble, Oxford University, Fellow of the Royal Society of Great Britain and author of "Dance to the Tune of Life: Biological Relativity"

“Evolution 2.0 is clearly the best book I have read on the topic. It helped me far better understand the fallacy of random mutations and how they are really introduced. This is something I was never taught in genetics in undergrad or medical school.”
—Joseph Mercola, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of The No-Grain Diet and Effortless Healing

Evolution 2.0 is engaging, thought-provoking, and challenges us to ‘reboot’ the riddle of evolutionary biology. By re-examining Darwin, Marshall asks us to reconsider the most important question we face—what is life?

—Dr. John S. Torday, professor, Evolutionary Medicine Program, UCLA

There can be few topics that have generated as much misunderstanding in the entangled relationship between science and religion as the origin and evolution of life. It is remarkable that we seem to know more about the origin of the universe than we do about the origin of life. In contrast to much previous emphasis on life as replicating systems, Perry Marshall brings new insight into the concept of life as information management. Drawing on his background as an electrical engineer, he asks how code can arise spontaneously. He describes his own 10-year journey in pursuit of this question, challenging much of what he had learnt from traditional accounts of the process of evolution by natural selection. The result is a fresh account which stands up to scrutiny and challenges many generally held positions. If you want to read a book that will stimulate you to rethink evolution, read this.

-Andrew Briggs, Oxford University; Author, The Penultimate Curiosity

"Marshall writes in a practical style so that all of his readers can come to understand evolution and can make a thoughtful conclusion on a controversial topic. Recommended for . . . students of biology, history of science, and religious studies, as well as researchers and scholars."
—Library Journal

“Standing on the knife-edge between traditional evolutionary theory and Intelligent Design, this book will inflame both dogmatic Darwinists and Creationists. It’s irritating to both because it’s friendly to the idea of evolution itself, and because it judges Darwinism too close-minded and reductive. . . . While most scientists submit to self-censorship and dare not question cherished assumptions, the boldest scientists like Albert Einstein, Francis Crick and Stephen Hawking never feared such taboos. Whether agnostics, atheists or believers, they never shrank back from big questions or unconventional solutions. Evolution and design are not either-or, but both-and.”
—Jean-Claude Perez, author, Codex Biogenesis and retired IBM Biomathematics and Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Researcher

“Marshall is making an invaluable contribution toward more open and honest discussion on the subject of evolution versus creation. The book is well written, often witty, and is extremely thought provoking. . . . It is amazing that this ‘non-biologist’ has analyzed life phenomena at the cellular and molecular levels to such depth and width by applying information gained by cutting-edge methods in the life sciences!”
—Dr. Kwang Jeon, Editor, International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, and Professor Emeritus, Department of Biochemistry, University of Tennessee

“Any person of faith who cares about how creation reveals God—and how evolution is actually a devastating arsenal of evidence against atheism—should add Evolution 2.0 to the extreme tippy-top of their reading list. Evolution 2.0 is equally shocking to both atheists and Christians, a genuine eye-opener in a category of its own.”
—D. Bnonn Tenant, ThinkingMatters.org.nz

“A very readable book and a devastating attack on the neo-Darwinist orthodoxy that evolution is nothing but natural selection acting on random variation.”
—Peter Saunders, co-director, Institute of Science in Society, and Emeritus professor of Applied Mathematics, King’s College, London

“With considerable wit and amazing insight, Marshall delivers a compelling and forceful synthesis that sets a new standard for discussions about the relationship between science and faith. The result is no less than astonishing.”
—Mark McMenamin, Professor of Geology, Mount Holyoke College

“The book is wonderfully thought-provoking, as Perry brings a fresh perspective to the increasingly arid (and acrimonious) debate between Intelligent Design and methodological naturalism.”
—Crofton Brierley, MS Biochemistry, Oxford University, former department head, Marconi Optical

“A remarkable and useful resume of the state-of-the-art of this great problem of science.”
—Stuart Pivar, author, Lifecode and On The Origin of Form, and cofounder, New York Academy of Art

“I am committed to Young Earth Creationism, and thus cannot agree with some of Perry's conclusions. However, I highly recommend this book to any skeptic who is committed to a purely materialistic paradigm. The science presented here - from the latest research to the most engaging minds on this subject—make this the one book you should read.”
—Ray Glinski, MS in Biochemistry, Pastor at Grace Church of DuPage

“Evolution 2.0 is a modern philosophical marvel unlike anything I have read in my years of study. It allowed me to put down my guard. The author was not compelling me to believe in an ideology, but rather taking me alongside his journey of self-discovery. I came into this book hesitant. As a staunch creationist I found myself trying to fight with Marshall early on, but his arguments and presentation were flawless and compelling. It was refreshing to see someone examine both sides honestly.”
—Marie Sarantakis, Comparative Religion Scholar, Carthage College

“Armed with computer science and electrical engineering, Perry fights an uphill battle to unite the space between those who believe evolution is random and those who believe species are designed by God, who in some cases deny evolution itself. . . . Judge this book by the science within its pages—and enjoy the story.”
—Andras Pellionisz, Biophysicist, Founder of Fractogene; PhD, Computer Technology, PhD, Biology, PhD, Physics

“Sometimes the only way a puzzle gets solved is when someone looks at it with fresh eyes. Perry Marshall is an engineer who started to investigate biology. His book could signal a paradigm shift in the battle between Darwinian evolution and creation/ID. Maybe the war is over. Respond, criticize and debate it . . . just don't dismiss it.”
—Justin Brierley, host, Unbelievable? radio program and podcast

From the Author

No one is indifferent to the question of "Evolution-Creation." Everyone wants to know. When I explain the discoveries in this book to people of all walks of life, they're immediately fascinated. Yes, even at dinner parties.

I presented this at a secular business function in Chicago. Afterward, person after person thanked me for resolving, in one woman's words, "this ridiculous conflict between science and religion." (She happened to be a Buddhist.) Others thanked me for revealing science that no one else had bothered to tell them. One entrepreneur, an owner of a multi-million dollar company, borrowed ideas from nature and re-invented his business.

Recently I gave presentations to two different conservative Christian home school groups. Both times, the organizers were besieged beforehand with nervous emails from creationist parents, wondering what I was about to teach their kids. But afterwards, nothing but gratitude. An eager group of parents and kids stayed for two hours after, peppering me with questions.

Contrary to what some Intelligent Design advocates told you, evolution is not a hoax. Scientists engineer new species in the lab at breathtaking speed every day. The mystery behind this is the cell's spectacular ability to produce and modify code. Creationism claims that only God can create information. Turns out... cells can do it too! (They appear to do it much like we do.)

Contrary to what Darwinists always told you, evolutionary DNA changes are not random or accidental. Rather they are fueled by the ability for nearly every cell in existence to cut, splice, re-arrange and re-engineer its own DNA. They do this in direct response to hundreds of inputs from their changing environment.

To get to the bottom of this mystery, I've formed an investment group offering a technology prize for Origin of Information. The prize caps at ten million dollars. It seeks a material answer to the question: "How do you get a non-living, non-programmed system to organize a sequence of predictive choices - machine-building instructions like 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 - without a designer?" This problem is trickier than it first appears. Origin of life demands an answer to this question; meanwhile, cells do this every day... but how do they do it?

Every technology innovation we seek has already been solved in the cell, we just need to study it.

This book bridges the gap between two opposing sides, each of which told you less than half the story. This book shatters traditional boundaries between science and religion, showing the way to new medical and technological breakthroughs.

As this book has come to fruition, many people have come out of the woodwork, expressing almost identical frustrations at how both extremes in the debate have ceased looking for answers, and only push their tired dogmas. The task of discovery is never done. My dream for this book is that it will usher in a 2nd Renaissance of curiosity, wonder and exploration about this fantastic universe we are part of.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evolution 2.0: "Order out of Disorder".
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2015

As a cross-disciplinary scientist, I believe Perry Marshall's book has only one equal in literature. It is the book "Chaos - The Making of a New Science". James Gleick wrote it in 1987. It is an indisputable classic, a national bestseller. It was a paradigm shift, and has massive overlap with Evolution 2.0. I predict Amazon may soon show that “People who bought Chaos, also bought Evolution 2.0.”

The parallels are far more profound than just two amazing presentations of otherwise difficult science concepts. They go beyond ease, fluid elegance and captivating penmanship, or the entertaining manner in which they educate their audiences. They also share present penetrating scientific insights in a way that offers a graceful “way out" for the the hopelessly close-minded… yet still engages the curiosity of the open-minded at all levels. Each reader will digest this book according to his/her preparedness and devotion.

Both books provoke those determined to dig deeper on their own with a vast bibliography, including highly mathematical science. The original sources of these two books, from James Shapiro and Kurt Gödel to Edward Lorenz and Benoit Mandelbrot, are hardly bedtime reading. But if you want to explore, both books make it easy for you to do so. They show you where you can start. Even biological disciplines such as neuroscience, neurophilosophy and genomics are transformed by informatics. Maybe someday we’ll see a third book that explains how non-Euclidean geometry applies to postmodern biology.

If Perry Marshall accomplished nothing else beyond demolishing "randomness” and replacing it with ”code“, the book would deserve all five stars.

However - and this is why two professional fractal geometry researchers (Jean-Claude Perez and myself) endorsed this book - Perry goes far beyond simple ”code" and calls a spade a spade. The genome is fractal! He touches on this lightly in Appendix 1, offering the reader numerous paths for further study.

Today, nobody can deny the fractal structure of DNA, and that of the organisms it grows. However few have applied statistical diagnostics and probabilistic prognosis to buttress the case. The graphic on page 281 shows a cartoon-type "eureka" to illustrate how even fractals evolve.

The mathematically savvy, and all programmers who have ever written a single line of code, can attest that ”random code" is an oxymoron. No one has ever documented a randomly occurring code. Even if codes were random (they’re not), such a thing would be vastly more bizarre than what Mandelbrot discovered, which was just a brand new dimension. In the Gaston Julia fractal code of P(z): = z^n - 1, the real number of the Julia-code gains a new imaginary axis, to become z as a complex number in P(z) :=z^2 +C.

As fossil evidence shows, analogous leaps occurred from the sea to land and to air – and back to Earth. So it turns out “imaginary numbers” are quite real.

It is flabbergasting that some people resist fractal geometry. True, fractals can seem outlandish to the unseasoned. But as magical as fractals seem the day you first discover them, you’ll sooner capture a live unicorn in your own back yard than produce a code from randomness.

Have we not all seen trees, flowers and mammals with self-similar repetitions of leaves, branches, petals and brain cells? For a DNA’s instructions to fit into half the size of Microsoft Office for a human, fractal compression is an elegant way to not have to specify each single brain cell separately.

Perry does not deny evolution and he is especially not a young earth creationist. By any fair description he is an evolutionist. But he acknowledges additional new dimensions glossed over or ignored by the other science writers.

The cited Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D. and Director of $30 Bn/yr NIH wrote that, for a scientists even at his scale it is quite OK if, in addition to empirical knowledge, they also adhere to a belief system - to deal with the unknown.

Since nonlinear dynamics are bringing new breakthroughs in cancer, autism, schizophrenia, and auto-immune diseases, we grow more certain than ever: “The more we know, the more we know we don't know.”

The butterfly effects of nonlinear dynamics assure us that another realm of discovery beyond existing empirical data is bound to always exist. Perhaps we can call this the New Principle of Biological Uncertainty.

In addition to the tangible domain of science of “knowledge”, it is only a matter of personal predilections whether one prefers any of the time-tested belief systems, or opts for the anxiety of a random universe.

Congrats, Perry - and never let fear-driven naysayers drag you down!

5.0 out of 5 stars The missing, and much needed, primer on the real facts of evolution and the design of life
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015
Verified Purchase
For several years, I've been reading most everything I could (and had time for) related to the evolution vs Intelligent Design debate. The ID school of thought has some fairly compelling ideas and rational arguments in its defense. Maybe they are wrong, but their arguments are coherent, detailed, and substantial enough to warrant a proper critical analysis.
So I actively looked for the criticisms against ID from the the pro-evolutionist side.
I was really very surprised at how difficult this was ... and increasingly puzzled why there just seems to be no coherent counter-arguments!
What one finds is either hand-waving arguments trying to explain how evolution works -- glossing over the critical details -- or incredibly irrational and visceral declarations that "evolution is fact" and/or that ID is really creationism. (Ok, ID and creationism are related, but only a blind idiot could equate them).

Then a couple of years ago, I attended a talk by James Shapiro. (I was actually just taking my son to another science talk for which he'd been given free tickets and so I hadn't even paid attention to what the topic was. I was pleasantly surprised that when I found it was related to evolutionary biology, but still no idea who the speaker, Shapiro, was. When he then described some of his work that illustrated a level of self-awareness with cells, shivers went up my spine. What was most shocking was that I looked around and it seemed like nobody in the audience even caught the implications. I was probably just imagining it, but is seemed like Shapiro himself kind of paused at that point in his talk ... perhaps waiting for it to sink in, but then seeing that he had yet another audience of sheeple who just wanted to hear safely secular ideas ... he went on, describing it all like it was just nothing really noteworthy.)

Anyway,that was the first time I sensed there was a second school of (open-minded) thinkers quietly at work within the community of modern biologists. And that the prominent collection of atheist ranters and proponents for Darwinism were so invested in denouncing ID, that they were completely out of touch with what was really going on in modern biological research. The real facts -- the important stuff relevant to evolution and the questions of the origins of life -- isn't being openly talked about or written about for general readers outside the field.

But it seems Perry Marshall didn't get the memo that you aren't supposed to reveal these things to the general public.
(Perhaps it is because he is from a very different field of expertise -- and so his livelihood isn't tied to agreeing with colleagues and defending the mainstream party line of naturalism.)

In any case, Evolution 2.0 provides the missing, and much needed, primer on the real facts of evolution for the general reader. For those of you who, like me, do not have a lot of leisure time to delve into the more technical books and articles being published within this field, it is a must read! Marshall has brought together and summarized in one place, the most important and relevant ideas and findings regarding how evolution really appears to work, and put them in proper context to the information theory concepts put forth by the ID crowd.

Although in my opinion, he has not introduced any new ideas (nor has he claimed to), he has done something else significant -- he has placed a new perspective on the ID side of the argument. Whereas most of the ID literature focuses directly on "information" and its origins (where does information come from, and how is it created), Marshall puts more emphasis on the coding system itself (how does a code capable of holding/transmitting information come into being). The difference is subtle, but one consequence is that he has been able define the crux of the problem more clearly. This is because it is easier to provide a definition that most people will agree on, for what constitutes a "code" than for what constitutes "information".

Marshall is already being criticized because he is not a biologist or biochemist, the idea being that he therefore just doesn't understand why evolution by random mutation works or something. But what those critics seems to miss is that the phenomenon being discussed isn't just biology and chemistry after all, and that perhaps that is why most of them have gotten it so wrong for so long. Evolution and the origins and design of life seems to be as much -- and perhaps even more so -- about information and the coding of information as it is about biology and bio-chemistry. And so an engineer who understands information theory well and biochemistry perhaps only a little, is actually more equipped to solve the problems at hand than a biochemist who does not well understand information theory.

While Evolution 2.0 might remove from the stage at least some portion of the noise from authors and bloggers who think it is sufficient to just wave their hands and say "evolution is fact", many of those irrational critics will still go on ranting.
But this book does go a long way toward educating more people -- those already familiar as well as new comers to the topic -- about the real facts and ideas involved. And it will hopefully inspire new researchers to march forward and advance the theories of Evolution 2.0, and quietly discard the distractions of the old nonsense of Darwinian evolution.

Perry does an excellent job in stating factual and scientific research that has not yet made its way to the public education system. And he does it in a human language that even a child can understand.

To me, I knew there's this force that cannot be explained or proved in a lab setting. And there're also these various laws that all things must pertain to. Gravitational pull, speed of light, theory of relativity.

After reading Evolution 2.0, it now makes sense how there is a Designer and there's Code. Once Code is established, Designer doesn't need to intervene. Evolution happens as per design and there are controls in place not to allow it to happen at random and explode into chaos.

Now I can see how a tree or an animal can function as they function on a molecular level. Without having to study the boring (to me) Biology material.

Plus I love how Perry isn't just satisfied with the answer "God did it". He is actually looking to expand our understanding of the unknown with his now $5M prize to see if anybody is able to figure out, "How exactly did God do it?"

Libro scritto in maniera magistrale per coloro che vogliono sapere esattamente cos'è l'evoluzione darwiniana e neo-darwiniana, quali sono i suoi punti di forza,
quali sono le sue debolezze e perché deve essere ripensata in una nuova chiave moderna e scientifica senza tutti i pregiudizi culturali e ideologici che l' hanno fatta, invece di una teoria scientifica falsificabile, il baluardo dello scientismo oscurantista in lotta contro il creazionismo fondamentalista.
Perry Marshall assume una posizione equilibrata proponendo una nuova interpretazione (Evolution 2.0) molto ragionevole che tiene conto di quasi tutti i risultati importanti in chimica, biologia e teoria dell'informazione ottenuti fino ad ora, a partire dalla scoperta del codice genetico nel 1953. Una grossa impresa e una grande lezione di ragionamento oggettivo.
