Writer – Researcher
With a lifelong love of research, I started researching and writing magazine articles in the 1980’s. Articles on everything from history to automobiles, various aspects of science, and even one television program on American History.
Roughly 20 years ago I stepped into researching and writing books on two very separate topics. One topic was on the utility industry and the use of geophysical instruments for locating and mapping subsurface utility lines which is directly inline with my chosen vocation.
Yet, I was also becoming extremely fascinated with the details of microbiology, especially as it relates to evolution and reproduction. These two areas are far more intertwined than most people would think, and I was beginning to realize just how important a subject this was. Microbiology quickly became my avocation.
The purpose of this website is to allow myself more room for explanation on the subject of evolution as well as to allow others to comment on this subject.
So far I have written two books on biology. Nature: The Embedded Recording was the first book (published in 2017) and covers my overall examination, discussion and conclusions on evolution.
The second book was Virgin Birth: Parthenogenesis in the Animal Kingdom (published in 2020) and is far more specific on the coinciding history of parthenogenesis and the research on reproduction which have both been ongoing over the last 300 years.
My overall theory can best be summarized as a question. Is life genetic or metabolic?
That may not sound like a very interesting question to many, but to those who are focused on biology, it is an extremely crucial question as it pertains to our understanding of many of the fundamental issues on nature.
What is the actual process of reproduction at the molecular level? Was Darwin correct about natural selection or was Lamarck’s far superior in understanding anatomical evolution, instead of just adaptation? Is disease truly determined by the genes or is metabolism a more logical culprit? How did the first living cell come into existence?
And if we follow out this train of thought far enough can we finally begin to answer a question we have been asking for thousands of years? What really happens when we die?
I will be steadily adding to this site as time allows.
Nature: The Embedded Recording
“This is a remarkably rigorous and erudite study, painstakingly written over a decade. Mitchell is refreshingly dismissive of prevailing intellectual conventions and makes a convincing argument that Jean-Baptiste Lamarck’s theory of evolution is superior in certain decisive respects to Darwin’s. He also explains the ways in which the reliance on a genetic interpretation of nature has been not only intellectually misguided, but also practically damaging…”
“A BOLD AND PERSUASIVE ALTERNATIVE TO CONTEMPORARY EVOLUTIONAY THEORY”
Kirkus Reviews
Long ago we decided that there were only two possibilities for what happens when we die…
…either death is simply the end – when you die you die.
Or, the possibility that death is a passageway to some other type of existence, but only a spiritual existence.
Almost any “life after death” scenario has been restricted to a spiritual explanation of one kind or another.
We have never seemed to consider that if we really want to know what happens when we die we need to take a closer look at where we come from, or more specifically, where does life come from.
