On one of my last days before my retirement, he stepped up to my window and told me that I was doing my job well and that he was telling the Company that I wasn't! Ironically he was the only one at this Company that said that to me. So, Dr. Tour, I pray that God will give you the strength, encouragement and wisdom to persevere through this insulting injustice. You are a great encouragement to me in my Christian walk and in my resistance to the claims of origin of life "science"!

The transition from one part to another in the videos is usually complicated and problematic. Voices out of the blue are heard and and we don't clearly know who is saying what, whether the previous part/response finished or not. You show parts of the videos made against you, but the viewer is not sure they are seeing their part or your new one. Music changing, voices, images, images shaking like emojis. Videos are too loaded. There isn't always an intro to a new segment (by saying e.g. "Then he says..") or a reply to it by saying e.g. "That is not correct and the reason is..." or "No. That did not happen." The best would be stating somewhere on the screen the word "CLAIM:" and when done, the viewer seeing the word "RESPONSE:" I mean, it's all like one thread video with no breaks so to speak, no clear disconnect from one issue to another. I don't know who is making your videos, but you need to fix this brother, the videos are not organized properly. Mark my words and see this video again; you will realize why the viewer will have a hard time with it.. PS. 1) Luckily from 39:54 things are put to order. The whole video should be that plain and simple. 2) Only a blinded or evil man would consider you a thief, and that man cannot know that a true Christian would never do such a thing.

[@luxliquidlumenvideoproduct5425]

@@speciesspeciate6429 why you are lying about the science… Here is Nick Lane’s 2024 paper on this. You’re either really ignorant about it like Pwof Dave or just some bigot like Pwof Dave. “To unravel the origins of life…” Nick Lane et al (2024) ““***But this concept raises some difficult questions***. It places the onus on an ‘RNA world’, in which RNA acts both as a catalyst (in a similar way to enzymes) and as a genetic template that can be copied. ***The problems are that there is little evidence that RNA can catalyse many of the reactions attributed to it ****(such as those required for metabolism); and copying ‘naked’ RNA (that is not enclosed in compartments such as cells) ***favours the RNA strands that replicate the fastest***. Far from building complexity, these tend to get smaller and simpler over time. Worse, by regularly drying everything out, wet-dry cycles keep forming random groupings of RNA (in effect, randomized genomes). “ “If selection on RNA in drying ponds could somehow be made to generate greater complexity, what must it achieve? To make cells that grow and reproduce, ***RNA must encode metabolism***: the network of hundreds of reactions that keeps all cells alive. Modern-day metabolic reactions bear no resemblance to the cyanide chemistry that makes nucleotides in this model. ****Evolution would therefore need to replace each and every step in metabolism, and there is no evidence that such a wholesale replacement is possible*****.” “Can genes that encode multiple metabolic pathways have arisen at once? ***The odds against this are so great that the astrophysicist Fred Hoyle once compared it to a tornado blowing through a junkyard and assembling a jumbo jet. It is not good enough to counter that evolution will find a way: a real explanation needs to specify how.****” “There are plenty of problems here, too, but they differ from those in the prebiotic soup framework. The first problem is that H2 and CO2 are not particularly reactive - indeed, their chemistry was largely ignored for decades, although rising interest in green chemistry is changing that.” “But many chemists are troubled by the idea that, in the absence of enzymes to serve as catalysts, hydrothermal flow could drive scores of reactions through a network that prefigures metabolism, from CO2 right up to nucleotides. ***The chemist Leslie Orgel once dismissed this scenario as an “appeal to magic”.**** Certainly, further data are required, supporting or otherwise.” www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00544-4
