Have you ever had a conversation that completely transformed the way you look at life, the universe and everything? A conversation that prompted you to think deeply about the origins of life on earth, and the origins of life itself… and what life actually is? Well, I had such a conversation with modern-day Renaissance man, Dr Ted Steele, and of course I wanted to share it with you. Ted started his career as a molecular immunologist with a particular interest in mucosal immunology, and branched out from there into two fields that challenge mainstream evolutionary theory: panspermia and Lamarckian inheritance.

Whether you believe evolution is complete bunk, you’re a firm believer in the Darwinian model of evolution, or you have no fixed opinion on the matter but have, at some time, wondered how and where life as we know it began, you’re going to want to tune into this fascinating discussion.

Ted is what all scientists should be, but very few are: 100 per cent committed to the true scientific method; endlessly curious; fully committed to updating his model of life, the universe and everything as new data come in; and also humble enough to admit that there are some things that cannot possibly be known through his beloved scientific method. In other words, to Ted, there is no conflict between the scientific and the religious/spiritual worldviews.

I know this is a long interview, but I promise you, it’s worth the investment of your time. Really, really worth it.

If you want to learn more about panspermia, you can find a highly readable introduction to the topic - including photos of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, which Ted discussed in relation to his cosmic octopus hypothesis - here (original version here; I’ve included an archived version in case the original link goes dead).

Ted kindly provided an introductory reading list for those who want to dive deeper into the topics we discussed:

I always welcome your comments and feedback to my articles, but I’m particularly keen to read your response to this interview. Did Ted challenge your worldview, or confirm it? Have your thoughts about evolution changed as a result of the evidence he presented? Do you have any questions or counterpoints that you’d like him to address, in a future interview?
