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
Evolution is one of the top five most inflammatory topics - together with abortion, gun control, gay marriage and immigration. Most people cannot calmly discuss it. The two "sides" shout past each other.Evolution 2.0 isn't just about new discoveries. It also represents a fresh new way to speak and think about evolution - a De-Militarized Zone, like the strip of land between North and South Korea. When I announced the Evolution 2.0 Technology Prize at Arizona State University, I defined the new rules of engagement for a peaceful discussion about evolution:Rules of the DMZ:1) Put down your weapons. If we're going to discuss this, you don't come with the intention of shooting somebody dead, even if you don't like them, even if they're from a different tribe than you. We have to talk. 2) No hiding behind screen names. Anonymity brings out the absolute worst in people. If you have to sign your name to what you're saying online or offline, then you're a lot more likely to say something that's helpful.3) Assume positive intention. You need to assume that whoever you're talking to is there for a good reason, even if you don't like their values or even if you don't like their position or their platform or the tribe that they belong to, or their metaphysics or their anti-metaphysics or whatever. You assume that they are here because they want to solve this, and there's a good reason why they believe what they believe, even if you think it's nutty. 4. Get to the truth, not the sale. This is a phrase from my colleague Ari Galper, a sales trainer. I just want to know the truth. Everybody knows if you go to a car lot and the guy just wants to sell you a car regardless of whether it's the right car for you, you feel this icky used car salesman experience. Why? Because the guy is trying to get to the sale, not the truth. You respect the guy who doesn't sell you a car because he knows it's not right for you.Evolution 2.0 does not ram anything down your throat. It presents facts you've likely never seen before, and allows you to decide. I first approached the subject of evolution with terror. I suspected it might destroy my faith and wreck my sense of a purposeful universe. But when I got to the truth of evolution - which reached back more than 70 years in under-publicized scientific literature - what I found was the most spectacular engineering I'd ever seen, performed by the cell itself. Evolution 2.0 in two sentences: Darwinists underestimate nature. Creationists underestimate God. This is not a religious book; it's a scientific book. Yet in its pages you'll find science and faith can co-exist in the DMZ.

A very *compelling* book, meaning I *needed* to finish it, it is well written and keeps you interested. I had just finished Meyer's "Signature in the Cell" before I started this book. I don't agree with Perry when it comes to his criticism of intelligent design since he affirms it in this book and I'm not sure what his problem is with it (the theory as stated in Meyer's book).I've suspected for some time now that evolution and design have some common ground, but this book does it for me: A designer for the very first life (cell) and "purposeful" evolution for the rest. A 'Designer' solves the 'chicken or the egg'. Darwin was wrong about the 'gradual' thing, but right about some other things. If we can all take our predisposed ideology and conclusions out of this then all we have left is the evidence. A "happy accident" doesn't even begin to be scientific. Science always wants to know "why?" and wants the empirical evidence so Dawkins needs to retire if that's all he's got.Evolution 2.0 as he presents it is to me the 'best' explanation of the evidence we have so far.
If you only read one book on evolution, this is the one.Best part was metaphors between DNA code to word processor and software.Unique book.Most evolution books are unipolar with univ guys saying "random mutations," and the ID guys saying "intelligent designer" like opposite crowds in a beer commercial (tastes great, less filling).This book goes way beyond that with explanations of mechanisms to generate genetic variety including endosymbiosis (flagella, chloroplasts, mitochondria), horizontal (lateral) gene transfer with plasmids, transposons, retrotransposons, retroviruses, epigenetics etc.I majored in evol biology in college and have read numerous books on evol so I'm familiar with the controversies. A biologist said to me, "Why you reading a book by an engineer? What does he know about biology?"Perry Marshall's engineering and programming background and brilliant mind have enabled him to understand DNA and DNA editing better than biologists.
Author (and computer scientist/engineer) Perry Marshall wrote in the Introduction of this 2015 book, “Everything we know from computer science provokes a huge question: ‘How do you get a code without a coder?’ … ‘How can code write itself?’ These questions challenge the boundaries of science and religion.†(Pg. xxii) He goes on, “As I distanced myself from the extremes, I found myself reading more scientific papers and fewer popular books and websites… That science is what this book is about.†(Pg. xxiv)He explains, “This is not a religious book… This is a science book, provoked by my burning question: If blind evolutionary forces can produce eyes and hands and ears and millions of species, then why don’t engineers use Darwinian evolution to design cars or write software?... Rather than brushing aside ‘ultimate questions,’ the new discoveries I was making only served to intensify and reframe ancient questions that lie at the boundary between science and religion. Where did life come from? Where do we get our ability to think and choose? In this book you’ll discover vital principles from the information sciences that neatly explain why… Darwinism is still plagued with problems, never able to silence its critics… You’ll also find that the Creationists and ID advocates leave out vital parts of the story: Darwinists underestimate nature, and Creationists underestimate God.†(Pg. xxiv-xxv)He adds, “In this book, I offer a … brand new paradigm for biology. I will show you that scientists create new species in the lab every day, and I’ll show you how they do it. I’ll also demonstrate that to the extent science can prove anything, science proves design in DNA. In other words, I’ll prove that BOTH SIDES, the Creationists and the Darwinists, are right.†(Pg. xxvi)He recalls, “I realized … [that] my belief in God was connected to my sense that the cosmos and the human body itself could not possibly be here without a Designer… My drive came from the belief that there had to be some fort of mathematical formula or underlying foundation that would demonstrate the possibilities of evolution, and show its limitations… the remaining force that kept me from sliding into atheism was my engineering instincts… I was going to let science and engineering answer this question for me.†(Pg. 6-7)He notes, “I never found a radiation mutation experiment that definitively produced a useful new feature that wasn’t already there. I hunted for a Darwinian explanation for this… Strangely, I could not find one… In later chapters, you’ll see many fascinating experiments where new mechanisms do develop in the lab---fast… However, radiation-induced mutations always appear to be neutral and usually harmful… Could that mean that when fruit flies adapt, they don’t transform through random copying errors, but instead by some other mechanism?... I needed to find out.†(Pg. 33-34)He observes, “Yes, there is surely some vanishingly small number of beneficial mutations that were generated by random accidental copying errors. But there’s no way to be certain they were random… In other words, one scientifically untestable theory (‘an intelligent designer created new species’) has bene duking it out with another scientifically untestable theory (‘the mutations that create new species are random and accidental’). It is impossible for science to validate either assertion. So our deadlock between Darwin and Design shouldn’t be all that surprising.†(Pg. 75)He explains, “If you major in biology, you will eventually study Transposition… I found there are two versions of evolution: There’s real-world evolution practiced by scientists and medical researchers. And there’s a largely fake, dumbed-down version that they bicker about in bookstores and Kansas school board meetings… Transposition, it turned out, was just the teeny, tiny top of a huge iceberg. Transposition may be the most common system of evolutionary development, but it’s not the only one. And every single one of these mechanisms is modular, contextual, and follows formulaic patterns.†(Pg. 91)He suggests, “Are cells sentient? I truly do not know the answer… Perhaps it’s not a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. Perhaps living things have various degrees of self-awareness… Evolution is ultimately driven by cells’ desire to multiply, to fill the Earth, to use every available resource to its maximum potential, and to populate every ecological niche with fantastic beauty and diversity.†(Pg. 112)He outlines 5 evolutionary processes: “1. Epigenetics; 2. Transposition; 3. Horizontal Gene Transfer; 4. Hybridization; 5. Symbiogenesis… And what happens when we combine Transposition (cells rearranging their own DNA), Horizontal Transfer (cells exchanging DNA), Epigenetics (organisms passing acquired traits to offspring through cells switching DNA sequences on and off), and Symbiogenesis (organisms merging together) with Genome Duplication (two species merging to form a third)?... we can in principle get from any one spot on the tree of life to any other. Also remember the retrovirus… which leads to organisms borrowing code from code inserted into the virus’ own DNA… Most important, what we’ve learned about Evolution 2.0 is: *It’s not slow or gradual; it’s fast. *It’s not accidental; it’s organized. *It’s not purposeless; it’s adaptive. *Natural selection isn’t the star of the show; natural Genetic Engineering is.†(Pg. 144) He summarizes, “Evolution 2.0 is… the cell’s capacity to adapt and to generate new features and new species by engineering its own genetics in real time.†(Pg. 145)He wonders, “Do cells read their DNA?... Might they have the ability to locate advantageous instructions from other cells’ DNA and add those instructions to their own genome? If so, then organisms would evolve their bodies by evolving their FNA language first. How might they ‘know’ how to do this? Currently our understanding of this is very limited. However, we are beginning to clearly see what cells do.†(Pg. 169)He concludes, “All this further persuaded me that all we presently know about Origin of Life clearly infers a designer. I cam to this conclusion because of the utter absence of any chemical explanation for Origin of Information. The logical inference was: (1) The pattern in DNA is a code, (2) all the codes whose origin we know are designed, so (3) therefore we have every reason to believe DNA is designed. None of the thousands of people I interacted with offered hard evidence to support any other explanation.†(Pg. 194)He admits, “I’d been raised a young Earth Creationist, and had initially been inoculated against these fascinating truths. I had to grow up and embrace a more nuanced understanding of God and nature.†(Pg. 248) He continues, “I had to outgrow my youthful notions of God. The six-day Creationist God I grew up with gave way to a richer conception of the Divine, that of a master programmer who would spin a strand of code that fills the whole Earth with beauty… The God I imagined as a child yielded to one who weaves a complex story, a story not just for children but for adults, a grand epic tale. A God who invested himself into that tale by creating human beings in his image… One who beckons us to live in the tension of paradox and mystery.†(Pg. 265)This is a creative approach to creation/evolution issues, that will be of great interest to those studying such matters.
Mr. Marshall puts forward advances in biology that few people are aware of. School board members really need to read this because they are, by and large, authorizing the teaching of ancient history in a field that has moved ahead scientifically into the 21 century. How many young people have been discouraged from entering a field they were taught was based on randomness and therefore uncontrollable when all the time there are great strides just waiting to be made.Young people today are brighter than ever, yet are denied the excitement of discovery by the "good old boys club" in science that doesn't want to disturb the status quo. Read this book...open your eyes...and do something about it!That's my opinion.
I have always had trouble with Evolution, but it started with Coppedge's "Evolution Possible or Impossible?" which I think is 5 decades old by now, which simply asked how the entire system could appear ex nihilo.Marshall has both simplified the problem and shown what would have to be proven. It is not the system that is impossible, but the core of the system - a code with encoder and decoder.While getting to this key insight and cutting through the fog of arguments on both sides, he takes us on a quick tour of current genetics and related biology where cells do adapt and "evolve", but by pre-existing mechanisms which aren't random, but by cutting and pasting, disabling, enabling, or duplicating code.
I have been following the logic of Darwinists and neo-Darwinists for decades. This is the first time I've been convinced that there is enough real science to take macroevolution seriously. If you read this book, you might have a paradigm shift. Wonderfully thought-provoking and fun to read.
