No and I don't intend to because it would take a hour of my life , a hour that I will never get back. I have however read a brief summery of Marshal's book, enough to know I don't want to read anymore of it . Marshal offer s $100,000 to anyone who can answer what he claims is greatest question in all biology: "Where does genetic information come from?". But that is no longer a deep question because it was answered in 1859. I f randomness exists (and there is no law of logic that demands every event have a cause) then generating information is easy, in fact there is no way to avoid doing so . Of course not all information is equal, some forms of information will be able to reproduce better in the physical world than others, and natural selection ensures that is the form we will most likely see i n biology. And that is really all that Darwin was saying. So if Marshal is a man of his word he should find out who Darwin's closest living decedents are and give the $100,000 to them.
