  • The origin of life from non-life remains one of the most enduring mysteries of modern science. Dr. Walter Bradley explains why materialist suppositions fail as science, pointing to the need for an intelligent author of the first life. At the 2020 Dallas Conference on Science & Faith his presentation explored the paradox-filled intellectual world of origin-of-life research. According to Bradley, one of science's biggest questions has always been, and remains, what is the origin of the first life? The Baylor University Distinguished Professor of Engineering Emeritus and co-author of the seminal intelligent design book The Mystery of Life’s Origin, discussed the current state of the research which is that scientists simply don't know what brought about the first life.
    Also in this segment, a Q&A session with three scientists who sparked the modern intelligent design revolution. That was in 1984 with the publication of The Mystery of Life’s Origin (see www.discovery.org/store/produ.... The pioneering authors, biochemist Charles Thaxton, materials scientist Walter Bradley, and geochemist Roger Olsen, were interviewed by Center for Science & Culture director Stephen Meyer, author of Signature in Cell and Darwin's Doubt.
    The annual Dallas Conference on Science & Faith explores exciting scientific discoveries about the origin of the universe, the origin of life, and the development of biological complexity, as well as critiquing the scientific and cultural impact of Darwinism. It also deals directly with the intersection of science and religion and the role that faith plays in scientific research and study.
    Walter L. Bradley is a senior fellow with Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture and the namesake of the Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Natural & Artificial Intelligence. He received his B.S. degree in Engineering Science (Physics) in 1965 and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in 1968, both from the University of Texas (Austin). He subsequently taught at the Colorado School of Mines, Texas A&M University as Full Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and for 10 years at Baylor University as a Distinguished Professor. His research area has been Materials Science and Engineering, with a focus on the mechanical properties of plastics and polymeric (plastic) composite materials, fracture and life prediction. He has received more than $7 million in research funding and published more than 150 refereed technical papers and book chapters. He has been honored by the American Society for Materials and the Society of Plastics Engineers as Educator of the Year. His most recent work has focused on converting agricultural waste into functional fillers for engineering plastics to provide new economic opportunities for poor farmers in developing countries.

    You four gentlemen are such an inspiration, in this poor fallen world, to see your wisdom and insight on the forefront is a huge blessing !!

    REALLY fantastic stuff. Walter Bradley and Jim Tour both formed the foundation of my thinking around Origin of Life. The problem of Neo-Darwinism shouldn't even be broached in conversation unless & until Origin of Life is solved & argued first. To just grant life as a brute fact or just assume it is to concede FAR too much.

      Really fantastically worded comment Timothy! James Tour has been quite influential on me, as well! The origin of life (as far as we know today) OVERWHELMINGLY points to an intelligent cause!

      Beautiful comment. I agree. Have Christians of our time found out a way to deal with the trinity? Curious about that since it's a huge hindrance for many to have to accept such concepts.

    I find that most people who have faith in evolution think I'm stupid if I conflate the origin of life, abiogenesis (few have heard of "chemical evolution"), with evolution. They're _positive_ there was an initial microbe that came about _somehow_ which started evolving. But they don't know where it came from or how, and *they don't want to discuss it.*

      I generally remove that (the you're stupid "argument") by starting off saying 4 words (which happen to be true) I'm..Not..That..Bright. Then ask a small question....How Do You Get Life, From Non-Life?
      Thing is On Social Media so many THINK they know about this, when they really don't. And they really don't know what ID/Creationism says and why. All they have read is articles in opposition to ID/Creationism. Its not that they are stupid, they're just ignorant.

      They say that origins in not part if the ToE. They therefore reason that they can dismiss it.
      I ask them, "Is the beginning of a rope not a part of the rope? Without a beginning a rope cannot exist."

    I think that scientific debates about the composition of the early atmosphere are not even relevant when you look at the larger issues of abiogenesis, because that only addresses the question of whether the most basic 'building blocks' (such as the needed amino acids) could possibly have formed naturalistically, whereas nearly everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that even if you HAVE all of the basic 'building blocks (ALL of the needed amino acids, or even ALL of the thousands of different proteins ALREADY FORMED), that's nowhere even REMOTELY CLOSE to having even 'simplest" functional living cell !! It's like saying "Well we have a pile of letters, so we almost have a completed book manuscript ' ! ha! Yeah, 'almost' ! A pile of thousands of little auto parts is very much CLOSER to being a functioning CAR, than a pile of amino acids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates is to being a living (and reproducing) CELL ! Where did prebiological assembly instructions come from ?! (You can't bake a cake without a recipe ! And if YOU can't, nature certainly can't). Stephen Meyer understands this, and James Tour certainly does. But most people, including even some scientists, seem clueless about it.

    A would say that there is no other way then first life was as full functional man and women because human is irreducible and you cant do back-engineering to one cell without having man and women in first place

    This seems like an exercise in helping already believing Christians not feel stupid.
    The bible says to expect ridicule for the beliefs you hold, because to those not yet saved it will seem like illogical foolishness.

    • @kathleennorton2228

      The Bible is more referring directly to the Gospel in these verses.

  • @bikeninja956
    @bikeninja956 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    the worst part about this, is that it's a minority view in the science community, but is so logical, aside from the jump to God as the intelligent creative force...

    • @kathleennorton2228
      @kathleennorton2228 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Only the God Being could account for the knowledge and power it would have taken to create life. His creation reflects, shows forth, and gives unquestionable glory to His absolute Godness. That is, to anyone who is reasonable and truthful.

  • @D800Lover
    @D800Lover 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's interesting that if you tell some people, particularly the materialistic atheist, that you believe there is a God and Creator, they then conveniently discard any scientific reasonings because you may have because you are biased and they are not. They claim to be only convinced by what they call 'evidence' (of the approved kind, of course). Think about that for a moment, what they basically are saying that you have to be an atheist or you cannot be objective. That is delusional thinking. Also, you cannot believe in God and science at the same time. More delusional thinking. So there is definitely something odd psychologically going on. Many scientists in all kinds of fields just get on with the job and also believe in God. How is that for a real reality dose for non-thinking atheists.

    • @ibperson7765
      @ibperson7765 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep.
      Then we can ask if theyd accept the scientific conclusions of the Chr*st*ans in the 1700’s when modern science was created and had its most productive 150 years... from Euler and Laplace and Pascal, to the creator of the taxonomy of species that we still use today (God’s creature design structure he called it), to Keplar to *Francis Bacon, the inventor of the scientific method itself* to Maxwell to Boyle to Kelvin to Galileo to Mendel (“father of modern genetics”) to Pasteur to Faraday to Newton to..
