Do you think you know what โ€œevolutionโ€ is all about? You might think a bit differently after you hear this conversation with Perry Marshall. In the last 15 to 20 years so much has changed in the science of evolutionary biology. What you learned in school is likely not what current evolutionary theory is teaching.

In this great chat Jeremy asks Perry to unpack his reasons for writing this book (heโ€™s an Adwords specialist, after all), why he thinks itโ€™s a truly significant issue to be thinking about, and the impact his book and accompanying lectures are having on the people he meets. What heโ€™s come to believe is that evolutionists donโ€™t think highly enough of nature and creationists donโ€™t think highly enough of God, and that the new viewpoints on evolution show that to be true.

Perryโ€™s research started with his own questions about the origin of life, viewed from his background as a systems guy. He simply couldnโ€™t believe that the evolutionary theory heโ€™d heard all his life could possible be true. Random events leading to the complicated forms of life we see on our planet? He wasnโ€™t buying it. This conversation unpacks his journey from evolution skeptic to hard core โ€œnew evolutionistโ€ and what he says the data is telling us about God, life, and the way we got here.

If youโ€™re an atheist, you might hate this interview. If youโ€™re a creationist, you just might too. But anyone whoโ€™s willing to open their mind, listen to the scientific evidence, and decide for yourself just might discover that you donโ€™t know what you think you know, and that the existence of God may not be such a stretch afterall. Itโ€™s a conversation worth listening to.
