Episode 3/13: Hype // A Course on Abiogenesis by Dr. James Tour

Показать описание
In this episode, Dr. James Tour examines hyperbole surrounding origin of life claims. Beyond a mere attribution to the press for creating hype, Dr. Tour looks into the published works by researchers themselves, discovering a more proper attribution of the source. He then elaborates how this snowballs further by the press into confusion by professors and laypersons. Finally, some agreement on prebiotic relevance is revealed.

Since following Dr. Tour, I understand that even if scientists ever create real living cells, the process will be so complex and there will be too much intelligence in the process that instead of proof to be an accident will actually prove that its impossible to even happened without intelligent guidance.

I am an emergency medicine doctor. I learned about the primordial ooze in my 100 level Bio classes in college and 300 level biochemistry course. In 1995 and 1998 respectively. You are quite correct Dr Tour.

Such a successful scientist with such level of humility and love for Christ.

I have read almost all of the articles you cover in this video and just as you argued I was very confused by them. Not being a Chemist, I assumed that my inability to understand how the conclusions claimed were reached and supported by the work described was attributable to my lack of an understanding of what had been done. I now realize that I was actually understanding what I was reading and the apparent serious problems with their conclusions were indeed clearly indicated.

Thanks for making these videos.

(Elizabeths Husband Speaking) I was atheist until finishing advanced organic and biochemistry. I cannot be convinced the incredibly complex chemical machine we are came by a series of selection. Furthermore that flies in the face of our observations of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Keep up the goos work Sir

Several years ago I had two areas of science I wanted to become much more familiar with. One was climate change and the other abiogenesis. Though the two are very different endeavors of scientific knowledge they seem to have one thing in common, the knowledge signal to noise ratio is very low. The high level of noise I've observed seems to be diametrically opposed to science and truth and more about funding, political agendas, awards and prestige. So, Dr. Tour, thank you so much for increasing the signal of knowledge with an honest, open and even humble presentation. I look forward to each presentation.

@17:13 "When the sodium hydrogen sulfide was completely dissolved, the pH was adjusted to 7 using degassed sodium hydroxide HCl. Oh, there's another degassing step. And how _convenient_ to adjust the pH *all of a sudden* at that point.
You would have had to have a really smart early earth"
😄 Lol!!

Dr. Tour, I have a high regard for your moral character, so when I hear you speak on science I give close attention to what you're saying. I can listen to you, fascinated, and wanting to hear all of it. I'm not any kind of technical or scientifically educated person, but you make sense to me in your explanations.
God bless and protect you, keep people in the truth. You're a great educator.

After seeing evidence of how complicated it is to create specific molecules and their characterization I am now more convinced than ever before that life was created without any intelligent design. Yup!... no... design... required... at all! Because pure chance and billions of years makes so much more sense than any kind of intelligent direction 😉. (Warning: the preceding comment had high levels of sarcasm)

Dr. Tour, this video makes me realize that corruption of language has been used in Science in the same way it has been used in a lot of others fields of comunication in order to confirm a pre stabilished ideology. Thank you so much for your work, corage and patience.

This is like going to school. Dr. James Tour explains what the real deal is. Bravo!

It is wonderful to have an expert take down some of the fantastic claims in these peer-reviewed scientific journals. Thank you, Dr. Tour!

During an interview with Ben Stein, when asked about the origin of life (OoL), Dr. Richard Dawkins admitted that "we don't know [how life on earth started]." (Source: 'Expelled' DocuFilm, Dr. Richard Dawkins, One of World’s Top Darwinian Evolutionary Scientists, 2008).
