Gratitude for this video!

[@T_Man-mm9sz]

Agree that the the wonders of the universe boggle the human mind and it may be beyond our intellectual capacity to unravel its mysteries, but that in no way mean that the existence of a god (or gods) is the explanation, unless “god” is simply a placeholder for “how this all works is beyond our human understanding”. We are more intelligent than a bumble bee and even a monkey, but that doesn’t mean that we have the intelligence required to understand everything. Perhaps asking a human to understand and explain the origins of life is like asking a monkey to explain how a combustion engine works. There is a physical explanation for how a combustion engine works even though that monkey doesn’t have the ability to comprehend it.

[@Sabyls]

As an engineer with over 40 years of experience in designing things and actually making them work - when I study all the sciences, I see overwhelming evidence of design by a Creator with perfect knowledge and understanding of all things, infinite intelligence, creativity and wisdom and unlimited power and ability. Life is far more sophisticated than our most advanced technology. There is no scientific basis whatsoever for the naive idea that life originated by the operation of purely natural laws.

[@SystemsMedicine]

Hi Sabyis. Is there any scientific evidence that life originated outside of the action of physical laws? [On the other hand, amino acids form stably out in space, and occasionally reach Earth as meteorites. And some nuclei acids form in simple Urey type plasma experiments. Gold has apparently shown that a huge variety of cyclic hydrocarbons form deep in the Earth, and can thermodynamically migrate to the surface.] I see that Tour understands that abiogenesis is a tough field these days, but what would you say are compelling reasons to believe that biology, which so apparently operates via physical laws, started in some fashion beyond physical laws?

[@RodMartinJr]

@@SystemsMedicine Great question! I was entirely convinced that scientists would be creating life in the laboratory even as recently as 2 years ago; 72 years of belief, trashed by solid logic. One of the more interesting discoveries, by Dr. Jennifer Blank, et al. (and I don't remember the year), proved that simple, high-speed collision added molecular complexity to simple amino acids riding on meteorites. *_But consider this logic:_* At no time in our scientific investigations have *_Random Processes_* resulted in organized, functional structure. We have crystals, but they serve absolutely no function beyond themselves. Consider what it would take for nature, in the desert, with volcanic eruptions, to end up producing a "magma red," Mercedes Benz, SL500, with tires, engine, drive train, and a full tank of gasoline. We don't find hundreds of failed attempts of this strewn across the desert. The same can be said about assembling the building blocks of life. *_Random accident does NOT end up producing organized anything._* I strongly encourage you to see Dr. Tour's series on Abiogenesis. Riveting logic! The 4 building blocks he mentions, some of which are formed in mutually *_Exclusive_* environments, are far more prone to make the wrong chemical connections than the right ones. So, let us say you have one properly made protein, which is as likely as 1 chance in 10^100, and you need thousands more of the same molecule. But then the protein decays in hours, and you have to wait several Billion, Trillion, or Quadrillion years for the accident to produce another ONE such molecule. But then, you need the Lipids, Sugars and more to occur within the same narrow window of *_HOURS._* But a far more daunting challenge is one of proper assembly of all these *_unlikely_* building blocks. What accidents within random nature would push just the right lipids into position to form the bi-layer bubble which is the outer wall of the cell? BUT the most difficult challenge involves the *_information_* which organizes not only the machines which rearrange the building blocks of life, but maintains the information which tells the life how to build itself, to reorganize nutrients to grow the cell, and then to replicate and split the cell. *_Randomness AND Time_* are the ENEMIES of life forming in the first place. And the fact that the information so crucial to DNA and RNA are NOT found anywhere in nature outside of life itself means that life could not start by accident -- *_anywhere in the universe._* *_Therefore,_* if God formed life for only one purpose -- to redeem His non-physical children (NOT the bodies they wear) -- then there is likely only one planet out of several sextillion planets which contains life. In other words, an *_Empty Universe!_* And the inner *_Trekkie_* died the moment I realized that we would never see Klingons or Vulcans. 😎♥✝🇺🇸💯

As an engineer your outlook is very deterministic and the idea of mutation followed by selection is very alien to you, hence your skepticism.

[@user-sk2fw8jq3m]

@@ColonelFredPuntridge Win the lottery with these odds? Well you are certainly optimistic. Dr. Gerlald Schroeder, MIT Top 5 Scientific Myths popularly accepted as fact: Myth #5. “Very occasionally monkeys hammering away at typewriters will type out one of Shakespeare’s sonnets.” Not true, not in this universe. But it is a popular assumption that the monkeys can do it, a wrong assumption that randomness can produce meaningful stable complexity. But let’s look at the numbers to see why the monkeys will always fail. I’ll take the only sonnet I know, sonnet number 18, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day …” All sonnets are 14 lines, all about the same length. This sonnet has approximately 488 letters (neglect spaces). With a typewriter or keyboard having 26 letters, the number of possible combinations is 26 to the exponential power of 488 or approximately ten to the power of 690. That is a one with 690 zeros after it. Convert the entire 10 to the 56 grams of the universe (forget working with the monkeys) into computer chips each weighing a billionth of a gram and have each chip type out a billion sonnet trials a second (or 488 billion operations per second) since the beginning of time, ten to the 18th seconds ago. The number of trials will be approximately ten to power of 92, a huge number but minuscule when compared with the 10 to power 690 possible combinations of the letters. We are off by a factor of ten to power of 600. The laws of probability confirm that the universe would have reached its heat death before getting one sonnet. We will never get a sonnet by random trials, and the most basic molecules of life are far more complex than the most intricate sonnet. As reported in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, when the world’s most influential atheist philosopher, Antony Flew, read this analysis of complexity and several analyses related to the complexity of life brought in my third book, The Hidden Face of God, and Roy Varghese’s excellent book, The Wonder of the World, he abandoned his errant belief in a Godless world and publically apologized for leading so many persons astray for the decades that his atheistic thoughts held sway.

I’ve been blown away ever since I first came across Dr. Tour. My wish is to see him on a debate stage exposing the propaganda of the “settled science” but I completely understand why no one wants to step up. It would be like lambs to the slaughter. 😁 ...53 thumbs down but not one comment of refutation. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@LoveYourNeighbour.]

I started listening to him a couple of years ago, and have been continually promoting him SINCE! More people need to be aware of him, and show their SUPPORT, for courageous & open-minded men like him, who refuse to march lockstep to the Materialist / Naturalist world-view. And instead chose to follow the evidence, WHEREVER it leads - even if it points toward a designing intelligence!

The first chapter of my first biology class in college was a review of the biogenesis versus abiogenesis debate. There was plenty of smirking at the abiogenesis faction for believing that mice could be generated from rotting rags and straw. Ultimately they point to Pasteur’s beef broth experiment as the nail in the coffin of abiogenesis. The last two sentences of the chapter have always stuck with me: “And thus it was conclusively proven once and for all that life does not arise from non-life. Except for one time when I did. “

[@ColonelFredPuntridge]

Pasteur's beef-broth experiment lasted how long - a few weeks? And how much volume was in it?

[@ltrotter636]

"...He commanded and they were created." (Psalm 148:5) I love how Dr. Tour begins by answering every question in a calm voice and by the time he's explained, he's not as calm...very passionate about his field of science, clearly!

10 to the 79 Billion is a very large number. I did some quick tests and calculations. Filling up an 8.5x11 page in MS Word (defaults, with Times 12 point and single line spacing) I fit 3354 zeroes on 1 page. Laying out the 25.5 million pages, edge-to-edge, that it would take to hold the rest of the 79 billion zeroes would cover 320 acres.

It's really cutting-edge INDEED! I'm sure you'll enjoy this quote Mukarram: "All of us have to choose the presuppositions with which we start. There are not many options - essentially, just two. Either human intelligence ultimately owes its origin to mindless matter or there is a Creator. It is strange that some people claim that it is their intelligence that leads them to prefer the first over the second" (John Lennox).

[@sparky5584]

Ground breaking? What ground did he break? He is just preaching his evidence-free opinion based on creationism. This is as far from ground breaking as one can get. IF he did some actual experiment that backed his hypothesis that might be interesting - but he didn't. He didn't do any of value and none of it was new. Ground breaking? I don't think you understand the term.

He’s just talking about the physical structures of living organisms and not even touching on the mysterious ‘spark’ that brings that organism to life.

"The mystery is beyond us and requires the divine touch" is a dogma. There are many hundreds of proper scientists looking for the answers to the question: "What are the origins of life?" It's been less than 100 years since we have had the tools needed to explore this meaningfully. I think probably in my own lifetime the scientific community will have the answer.
