KEN WILBER, INVOLUTION, AND EVOLUTION AS A FUNCTION OF THE DIVINE - Frank Visser and Perry Marshall in Conversation - PERRY MARSHALL

“Frank Visser discovered Ken Wilber’s work in 1982 and contacted him in 1995 by fax, after which they became friends.

Frank and Perry take a look at the nuances of Darwinism versus Design.” (Source: evo2.org)
