Dr. Jonathan Wells interviews the distinguished Brazilian chemist Marcos Eberlin, on his new book, endorsed by three Nobel laureates - Foresight: How The Chemistry Of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose. As Dr. Marcos Eberlin explains, life’s problem-solving engineering leads to the conclusion that foresight was required. As he puts it in this video: "That's our duty as a scientist - we should follow the evidence wherever it leads. And when we do, foresight is so clear, and is so evident."

A few of the highly distinguished endorsements for the book:

"Foresight provides refreshing new evidence, primarily from biology, that science needs to open its perspective on the origin of living things to account for the possibility that purely natural, materialistic evolution cannot account for these facts. The book is written in an easy-to-read style that will be appreciated by scientists and non-scientists alike, and encourages the reader to follow the truth WHEREVER IT LEADS, as Socrates advised long ago." (Michael T. Bowers, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California Santa Barbara).

"I am happy to recommend this book to those interested in the chemistry of life. The author is well established in the field of chemistry and presents the current interest in biology in the context of chemistry." (Sir John B. Gurdon, PhD, Nobel Prize in 'Physiology or Medicine' [2012]).

"In his newest book, Foresight, award-winning and prominent researcher Prof. Marcos Eberlin cogently responds to crucial questions about life’s origin, using an arsenal of current scientific data. Eberlin illustrates his points with varied examples that reveal incredible foresight in planning for biochemical systems. From cellular membranes, the genetic code, and human reproduction, to the chemistry of the atmosphere, birds, sensory organs, and carnivorous plants, the book is a light of scientific good sense amid the darkness of NATURALISTIC IDEOLOGY." (Kelson Mota, PhD, Professor of Chemistry, Amazon Federal University, Manaus, Brazil).

Marcos Eberlin bio: Marcos N. Eberlin is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and holds a PhD in chemistry from the University of Campinas. After postdoctoral work at Purdue, he founded the Thomson Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, growing it into a highly distinguished lab and supervising some 200 graduate and post-doctoral students, scientists who today work as researchers and professionals all around the globe. Winner of the prestigious Thomson Medal (2016) and the former president of the International Mass Spectrometry Foundation, Eberlin is recognized worldwide as one of the most productive mass spectrometrists ever, having published close to 1,000 scientific articles.

Jonathan Wells bio: Dr. Wells has two PhDs, one in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California at Berkeley, and one in Religious Studies from Yale University. He has worked as a postdoctoral research biologist at the University of California at Berkeley and the supervisor of a medical laboratory in Fairfield, California, and he has taught biology at California State University in Hayward. Dr. Wells has published articles in Development, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, BioSystems, The Scientist and The American Biology Teacher.
