 EVOLUTION 2.0 PRIZE KEY FACTS: Evolution 2.0 is a $10 million
technology prize backed by a private equity investment group formed to
identify a naturally occurring code.  The Prize came about from the
group’s inaugural meeting May 31, 2019, at The Royal Society of Great
Britain.
 The judges are: George Church. Denis Noble, Michael Ruse

 What do you mean by code? Like a dress code?
 

I have sneaking suspicion nobody's going to win this.  This isn't new; it's been around since 2006, maybe earlier.  There's even a book:
https://www.amazon.com/Evolution-2-0-Breaking-Deadlock-Between/dp/1940363802
 The usual "atheists vs. ID proponents" are featured.
 

What do you know about the the  3 judges or the Royal Society of Great Britain?
 

Zero.

George Church, likewise. Denis Noble is a distinguished physiologist, but his views on evolution are, shall we say, a bit special. Michael Ruse seemed to be sensible when he wrote Darwinism Defended, but he's gone a bit over the rails since he moved to Florida.
