It's far worse for naturalism than he explains. When you REALLY understand that DNA CODE CAN'T SELF-CREATE AND SELF-ASSEMBLE INTO CELLS ACCIDENTALLY as silly naturalists BELIEVE....then you will BEGIN your understanding. Abiogenesis is DISPROVEN myth. But far worse for the MYTHOLOGY of naturalism...it has DISPROVEN evolution. Life DEVOLVES from a BETTER FUNCTIONAL CODE than what we see now. How do we know this? It's what we ACTUALLY OBSERVE SCIENTIFICALLY! We HAVE only observed the breaking down...not building up. The only part that builds UP is the immune system that INGENIUSLY captures the signature of all diseases to kill them. But that DNA CODE NEVER builds anywhere else. Look at the DATA not what BIASED atheistic scientists CLAIM about it. I have incredible information on DNA CODE. The silly naturalists only disprove their own silly FAITH when they OBSERVE EVIDENCE.

[@Tinesthia]

The graphics were really well done for sure. There were a number of errors in the commentary though. Information is not massless. Behe’s definition of Information being a “decision” to flip a bit state on or off is completely bogus. Bones don’t grow to “exact specification.” Much much more. It is clear Behe is trying to sneak in agency when none is required, and none has been demonstrated. Making clear who the target audience is.

The sophistication of control mechanisms that must be involved in the formation of bone and muscle are beautifully shown. The assumption is made that DNA must contain all of that information. DNA forms the parts, but it is not yet known where the blueprint for the shape is stored, or where is the instruction code that directs the timed development process. As a retired research biologist, I want to suggest that there is still more information somewhere - we do not know where - that moves cells into the shapes and directs the timed differentiation of the cells.

Dr. Behe is an example of the real scientist for me. Integrity and honesty should be the foundation pillars of each and every scientist.

And sometimes it takes courage to say the truth... I wish more scientists like Dr. Behe

[@enomiellanidrac9137]

I see what you mean but its quite a poor example, because white is but a label we put on what we see and not an inherent truth. The two way to go about it is pragmatics and semantics. Either you point what you assign the label to (i.e. the colour of that fruit that I hold is what I call red), that is pragmatics, or describe the parameters of what you assign the label to (i.e. the electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 600nm and 700nm), that is semantics.

To show how large a number that is, it has been estimated that there are around 10^80 particles in the known universe.. that's every proton, electron and neutron in the known universe. So no, life did not happen by chance. And no, the universe did not create itself out of nothing.

Great stuff, Dr Behe!

[@djrfree]

This is a very clear presentation about the information required for life. I'm fine with the design hypothesis for the information aspect. The question that I think needs formulating is that of the information processor. You might suspect I have a data processing background. (I do.) Information requires a processor to be active and useful. I wouldn't accept an answer that claims molecular processors. That is too circular. Something else must be at work to convert the information into action. That 'something' must start at conception and end at death.

[@mjrollo1102]

As I watched this and listened to the “simple complexity” of just a single bone, my heart gave way to how Glorious our Creator is.

And what makes an intelligent designer more practical? Evolution has been used to solve many problems and has been proven countless of times.

[@sergiomoreno8775]

How exactly was it proved? The primordial soup model and assembly theory failed to prove origin of life through evolution. Researchers now know that in order for life to have come into being you need a controlled environment with different conditions than a probiotic earth. Homology does not prove evolution as stated in a publication made by the National Center for Science. That's why the evolution theory went to the D.N.A. as a line of evidence instead of homology. But what was the results of repeated expirements. Experiments should be able to construct a consistent familiy branch tree comparing genes from different species but thats far from the case. By repeated expirements scientists dont get the right ancestory as a matter of fact, if you compare genes from different species you dont get the correct ancestry that proves evolution but instead you get chimps, cats and whales in the primate group, frogs, birds and fish seem to have the same ancestor group and this does not help evolution at all. Molecular evidence does not support evolution. Besides the fossil records, rock layers, irreducibly complex organisms, fossilized species found alive recently that didnt show signs of macroevolution and microevolution is often confused with adaptation . Theres plenty of evidence that disproves evolution and it's timeline.

The problem is that all people (including scientists) just take it for granted that all this complexity, although it has the appearance of design, somehow 'evolved', without ever questioning the intrinsic impossibility of such a non-starter of a naturalistic mechanism (random mutations, etc.).

[@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440]

The intrinsic impossibility of organisms evolving? Sorry, but scientists have demonstrated evolution occurring in laboratories, and have observed its effects in natural environments. On the other hand, what evidence do you have for intelligent design? Just because these organisms and biological structures are highly complex, that does not mean that they need a designer.

[@thecloudtherapist]

And it can also be demonstrated in computer software. Just give a computer all the characters needed to express in a computer language and ask it to randomly arrange them to make a simple "hello world" program and see what happens.

This was in 10th grade bio, over 50 years ago. I often wonder how a microbiologist could remain an atheist after understanding some of the marvels of what goes on withing each cell. Like the walking proteins an the "walkways" for those mobile proteins that form and dissolve "spontaneously".. NOT. (Gadzooks! How *did* they find that?) I can't find the video now but there was a 1-hour documentary that was part of a series called "The Secret Life of the Cell". This episode dealt with what happens when a virus invades a cell.

The CREATOR of DNA in His own words said: "If all the trees on earth were pens and the ocean ˹were ink˺, refilled by seven other oceans, the Words of God would not be exhausted. Surely God is Almighty, All-Wise. (Quran 31:27)

We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? Translation of the Quran, chapter 41, verse 53.

I find it hard to believe the universe and all it contains is the result of an accident.

[@enomiellanidrac9137]

@@Seratan144 Accident is by definition something unexpected and so inherently hold the premise of the existence of an observer to have expectation. I would much rather use the word "event". The universe exist, that much we can observe, then we can supose of an event leading to its existence and from there investigate on the cause of this event.

To dismiss a designer we are left with too many coincidence (reason), and also purpose, therefore we are left with no meaning (nothing), yet our conscious is the witness of our existence (something), therefore to eliminate a designer is to live going against consciousness, hell.

I like your videoes very much. I have been unboard since you wrote "Darwins black box". But I might have one minor objection. I came across this video: How NOT To Think About Cells" by SubAnima. He is objecting to complexity of cell and its advangede organelles, but to the hardness of those structures. So he is not happy about comparing organelles to machines. What do you think about his claims? Kindly regards mogens jensen
