Here are some notes I made on this video if any of y'all need • The idea of rats and maggots suddenly appearing to eat rotten food was called spontaneous generation. This idea stated a new scientific fact: “life must come from life”. • Darwin wrote that it could be possible to create life from non-living materials, these non-living materials are light, heat, electricity, etc. inside a chemical soup. • Alexander Oparin elaborated on this idea further by creating a step-by-step process of how it could happen (Simple Molecules to Molecules of Life (Biomonomers) to Macromolecules to Polymer Complexes to Metabolic Networks to Living Cells). He imagined all of these chemical reactions would happen inside a primordial soup. • These ideas were just speculation and needed scientific proof to be considered true science. Stanley Miller had an idea to prove these theories correct, he thought he could simulate the early Earth stages and observe what happened in the water to see the outcome. Harold Urley worked with Miller to complete this experiment. • They modeled tubes of water to fit the conditions of the ancient ocean and boiled it to mimic evaporation. They also added water vapor & other gasses like Methane, Hydrogen, & Ammonia, to simulate the Earth’s atmosphere. Also, they added a condenser to cool down the atmosphere, simulating rainfall. Then, they added sparks to simulate lightning in the atmosphere. This test was used to see if Oparin’s first steps in his step-by-step hypothesis was true. • After a week of the experiment being observed, the water turned black, and it was filled with complex molecules created by chemical reactions. This proved his first step in his theory correct. • This experiment was such a breakthrough that a new field of science research was created called ‘Prebiotic Chemistry’. This science was researching other methods of how complex molecules could’ve been created.
When I was choosing a grad school in chemistry (so, mid-90s), I called Dr Miller, (then at U Cal, San Diego) and discussed options about studying under him. I went a different way, though. Great professor. Dr Urey, of course, was best known for the discovery of deuterium, for which he won the 1934 Nobel Prize.
This is the MOST underrated edu channel on this planet..... You wait until this is the most subscribed channel on TH-cam looking at the amount of work put into these videos ....
Wow, this is so much better than my online study course. A sentence literally said: You are made up of large molecules built from smaller molecules produced through digestion of larger molecules to form those smaller molecules which are then used to make up required larger molecules using a template. Bloody hell.
I had to read it 10 times until I got what it was trying to say. I'd rather you, Stated Clearly, to be my teacher, and my teacher you shall be. I look forward to watching your videos! Thanks
I’m in AP Biology right now as a Sophomore, and my teacher gave us this video to watch and take notes on. It explains the experiment so much better than she did, so thanks for making this!
this channel is so underrated. I mean which person goes through hard work like making an animation and doing so much research for one video. this guy deserves a million subs.
+girly lovell lolololol....they left out ....Oxygen...you need Oxygen....there not even close to makeing life in a lab ....And even if they did make life in a lab witch they didnt even come close to ....what does that tell us ......it takes a Intelligent bean to make life lol....look up a video called 100 resons evolution is stupid
Im a PTA student in a vocational college in germany, today in my first lesson of botany my teacher told us to watch a video like this, this maybe the most fascinating homework i ever done in my life.
"sugars have even been found on meteorites" sweet! literally :D Edit: I made a pun, why are you discussing the validity of this theory here, and not in a comment threat that is actually about that?
Thanks for doing this video. I read the slides and informations about the Miller-Urey exeriment, and just couldn't understand it in simple terms. You made it so easy to understand. I could do the disscussion that my teacher wanted me to do with ease and am feeling pretty good on what I will get on it. Thanks.
wow this is so fascinating if you think about it. All probably started like this and today I am sitting at a table that is produced by a machine, using my computer to communicate via the internet about things like that... Overwhelming!!
So what's gonna happen then? What's your plan after you die? Seems like a pretty close-minded life if all we are just a product of nature, creatures created for no purpose, with no eternal goal. Misery.
This is genuinely exciting, I had no idea about this and I'm glad I now know about this and I can't wait to see any future developments in prebiotic chemistry
Even if we imagine that polymers were able to form on early Earth, this still leaves us with the question of how the polymers would have become self-replicating or self-perpetuating, meeting the most basic criteria for life.
@@DethKwok As Cambridge Professor John Barrow put it: "belief in the evolution of life and mind hits dead-ends at every stage. There are just so many ways in which life can fail to evolve in a complex and hostile environment that it would be sheer hubris to suppose that, simply given enough carbon and enough time, anything is possible.”

+Kelly Duitmann Oxygen in its free state wasn't in the early atmosphere. Until photosynthesis started making it available, almost all oxygen was bound up with hydrogen (water) or carbon (CO, CO2). For most primitive bacteria, oxygen is actually toxic, Google 'anaerobic bacteria'. They left out oxygen in exactly the same way they left out peanut butter, and for the same reasons.
Same here 😅 But I'm just on the 90th Chapter and very eager to know the scientific display that Robert has seen on the Chapel Torre Girona. Thanks for the meaningful explanation. ✨
This team is so passionate about proving the underlying idea of where all life originated from, and is combining many bits of significant information into one absolute view that holds much truth. Keep it coming, you caught my attention.
As Nobel laureate Francis Crick, speaking about origin-of-life theories, observed "there is too much speculation running after too few facts.” Chemist Richard E. Dickerson also made this interesting comment: “The evolution of the genetic machinery is the step for which there are no laboratory models; hence one can speculate endlessly, unfettered by inconvenient facts.” Professor J. D. Bernal in the book The Origin of Life wrote: “By applying the strict canons of scientific method to this subject [the spontaneous generation of life], it is possible to demonstrate effectively at several places in the story, how life could not have arisen; the improbabilities are too great, the chances of the emergence of life too small. Regrettably from this point of view, life is here on Earth in all its multiplicity of forms and activities and the arguments have to be bent round to support its existence.”
@@MG-hi1ej I was very ignorant at 18 years old, I’m now convinced at 26 that we were placed here by an advanced intelligent being, God. Genes are proof of our creation, nucleotides are the programming language of life.
if we've found them in comets then they must be significantly common. I have a feeling that extremely simple life happens often in the universe but complex life is the step that is actually the hard part
The reason why they have found them on comets and it actually didn't turn in to a complex lifeform like we are, It's because the comet doesn't have the atmosphere we do to be able to create more chemical reactions to form complex life.
There's no such thing as "extremely simple life". As molecular biologist Michael Denton put it: “The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable, event. But it is not just the complexity of living systems which is so profoundly challenging, there is also the incredible ingenuity that is so often manifest in their design. It is at a molecular level where the genius of biological design and the perfection of the goals achieved are most pronounced. Everywhere we look, to whatever depth we look, we find an elegance and ingenuity of an absolutely transcending quality, which so mitigates against the idea of chance. Is it really credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest element of which-a functional protein or gene-is complex beyond our own creative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis of chance, which excels in every sense anything produced by the intelligence of man? Between a living cell and the most highly ordered non-biological system, such as a crystal or a snowflake, there is a chasm as vast and absolute as it is possible to conceive.”
Cool video - great job explaining the Miller-Urey experiment. The only constructive criticism I would make is around Darwin's contributions stated early in the video. His theory wasn't called "The Theory of Evolution" - that's a misnomer making it sound like he came up with the idea of evolution - the idea that relatively simple life forms can give rise to more complex life forms. He did not. Evolution was observed and established as fact in the scientific community long before Darwin's involvement. But we didn't understand _how_ evolution happened. Darwin's theory was actually called "The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection" and it sought to explain that evolution happens via a process he called "natural selection". It was one of multiple theories trying to explain the _how_ and his is the theory that stood the test of time and was best supported by the evidence found since.
+Parthasarathy TOTADRI NATHAN lolololol....they left out ....Oxygen...you need Oxygen....there not even close to makeing life in a lab ....And even if they did make life in a lab witch they didnt even come close to ....what does that tell us ......it takes a Intelligent bean to make life lol
+Kelly Duitmann Actually, oxygen came much later, as a waste product of the early life. The other chemicals came from the out-gassing rocks of the forming planet.
I think you posted in the wrong place. This is a video about chemistry, not logical fallacies. The entire point is that chemistry alone can create the building blocks of life without needing a designer or necessary being. Life is plastic to its environment, so of course things are going to fit hand in glove. Soda is not manufactured in 12 ounce cylinders then wrapped in aluminum - an amorphous fluid fills whatever its placed in.
+No Name I'd suggest you read that article yourself then go look up all the fossils it claims don't exist.....because they do and in copious numbers. The giraffe (which he gives as an example) www.livescience.com/52903-transitional-giraffe-fossils.html news.discovery.com/animals/fossils-reveal-how-giraffe-got-its-long-neck-151125.htm Other transitional fossils www.livescience.com/3306-fossils-reveal-truth-darwin-theory.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils www.transitionalfossils.com/ rationalwiki.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_forms So your article is proven to be wrong with very little fact checking required. Also....the author is a dentist....not a biologist. This alone should raise some questions as he doesn't have a background in biological sciences.
This video leaves out important context information about the Miller-Urey experiment, in what was produced from it and how it ties in abiogenesis, like the amino acid chirality.

Great Video guys. Can't wait to watch the next video. I would love to see a video done on why genetic diversity is so important and what factors lead to a species like the dodo bird or Thylacinus cynocephalus that cause their inevitable extinction.
+Vinay Seth cos the bibul say's so..... But seriously....all life is chemistry....very very complex chemistry maybe but it's had several billion years to develop
wrong. Life isn't just chemistry or merely complex molecule by chance evolved matter. No way! God forbid! it is also Information. Information for all the processes of the body and the brain: Wound--heeling, dna, rna, proteinsynthesis -> and control thereof, dna repair- and reduplicating-systems, the digestive system, reproductive system, cardiovascular system, nerve system and so on and so forth. Feelings, Thoughts, Universal Information, Free Will, everything like that is not matter of any kind. and thus couldn't have evolved from chemistry.
I can just see the people that gave it the 6 dislikes: "Oh I have this book the was written 2k years ago that says something different so this must be wrong"
+andy kimin Can you explain that more? water has oxygen in it (H2O) so if they evaporated water in the apparatus then that would clearly put oxygen into the equation. Please let me know what you mean thanks!
aroseland1 no dear.. Although there's oxygen in water, in equilibrium almost none of it is present as O2. That's very familiar from the behavior of water nowadays. Even when heated to boiling, water doesn't decompose and give off O2. but by electrolysis or Photochemical dissociation it can produce O2. but the experimet didn't promote these. therefore O2 was almost completely excluded in this experiment. :) It is easy to get confused because this experiment is misleading..
+andy kimin Okay, maybe that is true. But the experiment is just to show how the building blocks of live could form, if it shows they could form in less ideal conditions (with out oxygen) then that further validates the idea that they can naturally form in unlikely conditions. And the experiment doesn't show complex living organisms starting, it just shows how you can get a simple chemical division under those conditions. So I don't see how the lack of oxygen would de-validate the implications of the experiment?
aroseland1 OMG.. Let me tell you a secret. Miller knew there was O2 in the atmosphere. But if he included O2 in the experiment, O2 will oxidize most of the substance in the experiment and this won't produce amino acid :) so, he purposely exclude O2 to get the desired result. I won't call this experiment science...It was a fraud and a disgrace for science
But did they ever continue that experiment to see if something actually forms from it? Just because you get a few molecules, does not mean they actually form DNA. It is a complex code needing a translator and power supply. nether of the three can exist without the other. If it was really that much a breakthrough, I would imagine they would have continued it till they created a single celled organism. Or at the very least a start of a DNA construction.
Found this article about how the experiment fares out nowadays: goo.gl/0PG2fK The issue, it seems, is that while the Miller-Urey experiment is a good proof of concept for the creation of organic molecules out of simpler ones, the _specifics_ are not very good. That's because we now know more about the way the early Earth's atmosphere was like than in Miller's time, and those conditions are not ideal for this experiment to produce good molecules as it is designed. So it's seen today as a dead-end. So instead, scientists are focusing on other plausible methods for obtaining complex molecules and basically starting from zero as Miller did back in his day. Recreating scenarios such as deep ocean vents, comets, etc, and seeing which one is a better candidate.
daniellclary My guess is that it's a similar reason to why we learn about Pavlov's dogs or the Michelson-Morley experiment (which disproved the luminiferous aether). Even when the experiment is not too useful today, it was a big breakthrough back then, and became the foundation for a whole new branch in science.
As it says in a video this was only mean to demonstrate the feasibility of getting organic molecules from non-organic molecules. It is unlikely that even at the time they thought they could just let this keep running and ever get an actual cell. This being because there are far more variables to be able to progress. Indeed as Arturo points out this particular method is not a plausible candidate for how it happened on earth but it remains a functional and relatively simple demonstration of the principal. A few competing hypothesis exist for the way it would have happened on earth, many of which have similar ability to producing organic molecules from non-organic molecules I recently listened to the audible book Life Ascending by Nick Lance. In which they he addresses experiments his team has been working on with laboratory representations of alkali vents from the deep seas . In these experiments, If I'm not mistaken, they see all the way through the generation of random strings of useless RNA. This is however only one of the proposed method for how life actually arose and much work needs to be done still in verifying the results of these experiments. This is why the Miller-Urey experiment is a better candidate for demonstrating the principal of organic molecules from non-organic molecules: something that at the time was viewed as not possible. This experiment is done, has been verified via repeat experiments, and answers only a specific question.. The Miller Urey experiment is perfectly valid for what it claims to demonstrate. It only falls short if you try to extrapolate more from it than it claims to offer.
So,basically, this experiment in fact did NOT create any life itself but just the necessary physical organic building blocks for material that may contain it if that was possible. Alright then.
Good summary. We haven't reached a stage where we can create life, but this is just another piece of the puzzle. How long until scientist are able to simulate the next step of life?

So back when I was still a creationist I was dismissive of the expiriment's indication that organic material could be created from inorganic material with such ease, but I had another take-away from this experiment. When exploring outer space or terraforming lifeless worlds(I.e some worlds will likely have the ability support life but not happen to have it yet.) processes like the one in this could be used to create servicable quantities of basic biomatter out of completely inorganic matter, by processing the basic materials, then feeding the end product to microbes. So I was the annoying Bible-thumper getting into arguments with the atheist kids over the plausibility of colonizing outer space, only it was the atheist kids saying "There's no soil up there, so how the fuck we going to farm anything?" And I'm the one chiming in, "Hello! If the Miller-Urey experiment tells us ANYTHING, it's that we can literally make it out of materials that are EVERYWHERE!"
The part about soil... The funny thing is if there is an atmosphere with wind, there will be dust. If there is water, there will be erosion. To get soil out of that, all one needs to do is add the appropriate biomatter and microbes, and you have soil.
Well I'm not really sure about your idea there. Basic chemisty doesn't need very much energy and its rather small scale monomers that are produced. For larger scale things above the size of amino acids you'd need more energy. That means a closer sun or maybe a geothermal vent or something that heats things up faster. Then you have the problem of the waste product's. You have to get rid of the biproducts of all this chemistry or it micht in fact end up destroying the system. On earth there was no oxygen for example which isn't a requirement for life but it is for living thing with more than a few cellss. Multicelled creatures need lots of energy and oxygen is the only element we know of that can supply that energy in tge shortest pathway. Thankfully on earth the biproduct of early life was oxygen... It poisonous though. Despite your fondness of the stuff it will eventually kill you! Lol. So now you need yet more energy and pathways to stop the oxygen from destroying the system... So for a faraway planet to suppot life then it would need to have existing life! Its the life on earth that built the life support system for life on earth.
mystuff the only thing I can think of is a claim that the *original experiment only created toxic, left hand amino acids. That is only mostly true, because when the samples were retested with note sophisitaced technique, right hand amino acids were also found, albeit in small quantities. Even still, no one knows what the first life actually was, and if could have been produced from either left or right handed amino acids, or if it could use a combination of both. But aside from that, the experiment was only ever supposed to be a proof of concept, not a proof of theory.
That doesn't disprove creation! Because you can combine things in a lab and make something out of them doesn't mean that's how life started in the beginning.
@@yeahkeen2905 But the Miller-Urey results were later questioned: It turns out that the gases he used (a reactive mixture of methane and ammonia) did not exist in large amounts on early Earth. Scientists now believe the primeval atmosphere contained an inert mix of carbon dioxide and nitrogen-a change that made a world of difference.
@@lilyoyo77 It was questioned with a better understanding of the enviroment of earth's ancient past, wich gave rise to better simulations of that enviroment, wich in turn resulted on improved experiments that produced new and and far more complex structures that could form the basis of early life on earth, wich further supported the hypopthesis of life coming from non life. I might be wrong, but you seem to be suggesting that this theory is inplausible because the original 70 year old experiment used as proof of concept was not accurate with our current understanding of the enviroment when life first appeared. But not without reason, abiogenesis is accepted as the most likely explanation for the origin of life. and if you do think all of this is wrong, you can present your reasoning and evidence to the scientific community and get a nobel prize
Testable SWAGS (scientific wild assumptions and guesses) and the "Miller-Urey Experiment" stated clearly... Nice pat on the back to you and production staff at the end of your video. Excellent job and well deserved! Agreed! You did an excellent job in the production of your video commentary and explanation of " Miller-Urey Experiment" Great use of animations and story line. It would be nice to have a commentary like this one on the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" and the experiments that prove it is a law, not a theory. Yes, AND many questions still remain about "the origin of life." The biggest questions about the Miller-Urey Experiment and all similar subsequent research which followed are The experiment created a mixture that was racemic (containing both L and D enantiomers). Yet in nature, L amino acids dominate our physical and chemical structure and we only exists by using on enantiomer, L-amino acids. So as in this case, then "Why isn't life as we know it just an amorphous mixture of L and D amino acids????? " According the "Second Law of Thermodynamics", Why don't we exist as a 50/50 mixture of racemates of eantiomeric amino acids???? The second law is certainly not speculation, it is a law. Unlike like Darwin's theory (empirical theory based purely on observation and speculative work, birds have feathers thus all animals with feather are birds) to Miller's hypothesis and first attempt to gain insight of the "origins of life" from a simple chemical perspective by conducting experiments in the lab, "laws" however, are not meant to be broken. Like, the Law of Electrostatics or Law of Conservation of Matter. These are laws. Law are not theories and do not explain why I did not evolve from a " warm pond of amorphous sludge" as a 50/50 mixture when according to the law we should have. The question remains "Why do we only exist as an single enantiomer, L-amino acid, and not a 50/50 mixture amorphous mixture of L and D-amino acids?" if we evolved according to Darwin's "Empirical" Theory of Evolution from a little warm pond that had a chemical composition produced and observed/analyzed in a laboratory in Chicago in the 1950's. The second law of thermodynamics (entropy) says states we should be a 50/50 mixture of amino acids but "origins of life" but life is NOT a 50/50 mixture. LASTLY, highly reducing gases, hydrogen, methane, ammonia together in the presence of water gas were used in the experiment ( in your commentary and video , water as a primordial soup gas, was only indirectly "speculatively" shown as an important ingredient of this experiment ) . We know from the evaporation of water , H2O gas, it was present along with H2, CH4, NH3 in the experiment. I often wonder if Miller in his experiment degassed (purged) his water of other chemicals like oxygen?????? How well did he scrub his experiment of dissolved gases of O2 and other contaminants from the gases hydrogen, methane, ammonia and the water used in his experiment?????????
agreed I've just had a argument with a couple of Creatards on the Guardian website. I had one watch the videos on Evolution etc and he almost came around, almost. He was of course a Creatard so still insists scientists suggest life just popped into existence
Yeah it is possible that there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster and till someone disproves me I believe in our great savior, blessed may be his meat balls!
It's amazing to me how hateful some of the evolutionists become when you challenge their ideas. Of course, it's not really their ideas, they simply mime the material that they've been taught (something that they accuse creationists of, all the time).
There probably is life in atoms and subatomic particles, we just close our minds to the idea. This follows from the proposition "life can only arise from life".
Let's say that it was possible that simple monomers such as amino acids, lipids and sugars were able to form randomly in an early earth. Those monomers are still a very very very very long way from becoming life. Let's say that somehow phospholipids were randomly created and spontaneously formed a double layered micelle membrane with some random amino acids, sugars and even nucleic acids inside. In order for that to happen the primordial soup would have to be saturated with these compounds. Then these compounds would have to have magically come together into a polymerase enzyme that link random ribose, phosphate and nucleic acids together to form either RNA or DNA. Enzymes don't just magically spontaneously come together, they have to be put together by other enzymes. Not to mention the sequence of amino acids in this enzyme would have to be very very specific. It would have to be the right shape with the right active site. These things don't happen all by themselves. Seeing as how DNA polymerase enzyme is 783 amino acids long the odds of this happening are 1 in 20^(783) or 1 in 10^(1018). That number is more than the number of atoms in the observable universe which is 10^123. But the odds are actually much much much much lower than that. Considering all of the different sizes of proteins those odds have to be added to that number. That number comes out to (10^1018)! which is equal to 1 in 10^(10^(1021)). That is ten to the power of ten to the power of one thousand and twenty one!!! That is more than a googolplex times ten raised to a billion! The chances are so infinitesimally small that the concept of life evolving is beyond laughable! Not to mention you have to work against the laws of entropy which are constantly breaking things down. But wait! It doesn't end there! Even the most simple cellular life form has THOUSANDS of different proteins interacting in a specific way to work toward a specific goal, usually to store energy in a useful form such as ATP or to form new proteins that build the cell or create other proteins. So just add few more numbers to that power. I could go on an on about the impossibility of this idea. There is no chance on earth that these proteins randomly formed without enzymes to create them and some mind to design a function and goal for them to accomplish. It is simply a foolish idea to think such a thing. I do not have enough faith in scientists or in evolution to believe such a thing. On the contrary the existence and specific design of a God is so much more fathomable and scientifically believable. The Miller-Urey experiment was done in the 50's. It has been over 60 years and no other experiment worth mentioning has come to give us any support for abiogenesis? Sounds to me like science is dead in the water. So much for God of the disappearing gaps. Science pointing to God as the creator is alive and well.
+Justin Bosley Your argument about how abiogenesis is "impossible" is predicated on the absurd assumption that life (or processes leading to life) must have somehow instantly begun at the level of complexity of DNA/RNA and a full suite of transcriptases and enzymes. This is like arguing that flight was never possible before the incredibly complex cutting-edge stealth fighters of today, therefore they must have just magically sprung into existence, and therefore "God" must have intelligently designed all aircraft because they're "just too complex" otherwise. That's a ridiculous notion on its face.
The fact that you can explain everything with god doesnt make god real.you are just making an excuse for not knowing something instead of admitting it. For evolution to occur you need something that can reproduce it self ,it doesn't need to be a complex rna/dna strain.
Justin Bosley Even if you were correct in your assumption that improbable = impossible, which you're not, that still wouldn't point to a creator, and even if it pointed to a creator, which again it doesn't, it wouldn't necessarily point to a god, and even if it pointed to a god, which yet again it doesn't, it woudn't by any stretch of the imagination point to any specific god.
This doesn't impress me at all. Scientists try to create something in their labs that will prove that life began spontaneously, without a creator. But the fact is, even if they create something meaningful, they provide proof against themselves because it shows that an intelligent mind is required to conduct an experiment, someone who knows what they're doing. If there's no scientist, there's no experiment. Open your eyes, you may even be a layman but you still have a mind to think, capable of reasoning.
Science exists without anyone practicing it. Science is based on evidence. Science exists without anyone observing the evidence. The laws of nature exist and are constant without anyone observing/understanding them. But what we do understand 100% is that no facts/truth/evidence preached by religion exist.
1) Experiment was designed by scientist to replicate expected conditions on ancient Earth. The planet was created as the result of simple laws of physics such as gravity, see gravitational collapse. 2) Prove the existence of creator and then we will discuss it's capabilities and whether it can do anything. 3) Granting you existence of complex creator, what created your creator?
@@pavel9652 I also would add. The Miller-Urey experiment was 70 years ago. We have progressed light years since. Many other experiments duplicated several parts of abiogenesis. It is only a few more decades before wee duplicate the entire process. Dr. Jack Szostak and team at Harvard are making steady progress.

@@ChristIsKing0919 No, we are made mostly out of left handed amino acids. But many biological processes use right handed amino acids. I think bacterial cell walls use right handed amino acids. It's that, left handed molecules were mainly selected over right handed molecules through chemical evolution. Funnily enough, almost all amino acids in our body are left handed, while sugars are right handed, so we have right handed DNA.
@@athulkathul7112 the following can be looked up. It is a quote taking from the Smithsonian Magazine: "On Earth, the amino acids characteristic of life are all “left-handed” in shape, and cannot be exchanged for their right-handed doppelgänger. Meanwhile, all sugars characteristic of life on Earth are “right-handed.” The opposite hands for both amino acids and sugars exist in the universe, but they just aren’t utilized by any known biological life form. (Some bacteria can actually convert right-handed amino acids into the left-handed version, but they can’t use the right-handed ones as is.) In other words, both sugars and amino acids on Earth are homochiral: one-handed." Those bacteria your referring to must "convert" the right to left.
@@ChristIsKing0919 I'm talking about molecules such as non-ribosomal peptides. Proteins synthesized by the ribosomal RNA are primarily left handed, and we're trying to figure out why but it's been pretty evident that it's likely to do with the structure of the ribosome rather than the molecule itself. However, there are peptides called non-ribosomal peptides in some, especially primative, biological systems which do in fact use some right handed amino acids.
Review article published in 2013 "Viral and Bacterial Interactions in the Upper Respiratory Tract", explain how bacteria and viruses living happily in our nostrils and ear can one fine day turn virulent. I have seen how a simple viral infection in a child suddenly convert bacteria into superbugs that result in sepsis that kill. A student, asked me a simple question "Why does Epiglotitis occur only in children less than 2 years and not adults?". In 1990s, I spent six months searching for information to answer this question. The reason was interaction between virus and bacteria present in the throat. This is like you hanging about patiently in front of Buckingham Palace and trying to enter. One fine day, a friendly officer (virus) or a major incidence happen when the guards run around creating an opportunity to walk in. Similarly, constantly bombard electromagnetic and micro waves embed by mobile phone into our ears and nose as we speak can help bacteria enter or a spark can help create new viruses or turn bacteria virulent. This has happened before, happening now and am sure "Jugernaut Bacteria" is not a hypothetical assumption but a practical problem that we must start thinking about...People expect scientists to know the answer, but how can the scientist see what my subconscious mind can see. They can only prove or disprove my hypothesis. When Charles Darwin said "Bacteria and viruses evolved in a pond of hot volcanic lava", no one believed but now it is an accepted hypothesis. This is similar to your belief "GOD" exists even though you have not seen GOD. things you cannot. My hypothesis about Staphylococcus aureus becoming a major threat to humanity, later turned out to be MRSA (mersa)that later created "Superbugs". www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../PMC.../pdf/ppat.1003057.pdf
Here are some notes I made on this video if any of y'all need
• The idea of rats and maggots suddenly appearing to eat rotten food was called spontaneous generation. This idea stated a new scientific fact: “life must come from life”.
• Darwin wrote that it could be possible to create life from non-living materials, these non-living materials are light, heat, electricity, etc. inside a chemical soup.
• Alexander Oparin elaborated on this idea further by creating a step-by-step process of how it could happen (Simple Molecules to Molecules of Life (Biomonomers) to Macromolecules to Polymer Complexes to Metabolic Networks to Living Cells). He imagined all of these chemical reactions would happen inside a primordial soup.
• These ideas were just speculation and needed scientific proof to be considered true science. Stanley Miller had an idea to prove these theories correct, he thought he could simulate the early Earth stages and observe what happened in the water to see the outcome. Harold Urley worked with Miller to complete this experiment.
• They modeled tubes of water to fit the conditions of the ancient ocean and boiled it to mimic evaporation. They also added water vapor & other gasses like Methane, Hydrogen, & Ammonia, to simulate the Earth’s atmosphere. Also, they added a condenser to cool down the atmosphere, simulating rainfall. Then, they added sparks to simulate lightning in the atmosphere. This test was used to see if Oparin’s first steps in his step-by-step hypothesis was true.
• After a week of the experiment being observed, the water turned black, and it was filled with complex molecules created by chemical reactions. This proved his first step in his theory correct.
• This experiment was such a breakthrough that a new field of science research was created called ‘Prebiotic Chemistry’. This science was researching other methods of how complex molecules could’ve been created.

can i copy off you I missed the video
When I was choosing a grad school in chemistry (so, mid-90s), I called Dr Miller, (then at U Cal, San Diego) and discussed options about studying under him. I went a different way, though. Great professor.
Dr Urey, of course, was best known for the discovery of deuterium, for which he won the 1934 Nobel Prize.

Even if we imagine that polymers were able to form on early Earth, this still leaves us with the question of how the polymers would have become self-replicating or self-perpetuating, meeting the most basic criteria for life.
Yes information for replication and order does not come from random sources, but a mind.
Infinite monkey theorem. Given infinite time and space, eventually, somewhere, it will combine the right way to replicate itself.
@@DethKwok As Cambridge Professor John Barrow put it: "belief in the evolution of life and mind hits dead-ends at every stage.

+Kelly Duitmann Oxygen in its free state wasn't in the early atmosphere. Until photosynthesis started making it available, almost all oxygen was bound up with hydrogen (water) or carbon (CO, CO2).

This team is so passionate about proving the underlying idea of where all life originated from, and is combining many bits of significant information into one absolute view that holds much truth.
Keep it coming, you caught my attention.
+THE UNIVERSE not truth.. but misleading facts.
As Nobel laureate Francis Crick, speaking about origin-of-life theories, observed "there is too much speculation running after too few facts.” Chemist Richard E. Dickerson also made this interesting comment: “The evolution of the genetic machinery is the step for which there are no laboratory models; hence one can speculate endlessly, unfettered by inconvenient facts.” Professor J. D. Bernal in the book The Origin of Life wrote: “By applying the strict canons of scientific method to this subject [the spontaneous generation of life], it is possible to demonstrate effectively at several places in the story, how life could not have arisen; the improbabilities are too great, the chances of the emergence of life too small. Regrettably from this point of view, life is here on Earth in all its multiplicity of forms and activities and the arguments have to be bent round to support its existence.”
@@MG-hi1ej I was very ignorant at 18 years old, I’m now convinced at 26 that we were placed here by an advanced intelligent being, God. Genes are proof of our creation, nucleotides are the programming language of life.
I'm in college and this is so much better than my professor said it! Thank you for making this.
That was indeed "Stated Clearly"! Thanks❣️
Thank you for making this subject so clear!
if we've found them in comets then they must be significantly common. I have a feeling that extremely simple life happens often in the universe but complex life is the step that is actually the hard part
The reason why they have found them on comets and it actually didn't turn in to a complex lifeform like we are, It's because the comet doesn't have the atmosphere we do to be able to create more chemical reactions to form complex life.
There's no such thing as "extremely simple life". As molecular biologist Michael Denton put it: “The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable, event. But it is not just the complexity of living systems which is so profoundly challenging, there is also the incredible ingenuity that is so often manifest in their design. It is at a molecular level where the genius of biological design and the perfection of the goals achieved are most pronounced. Everywhere we look, to whatever depth we look, we find an elegance and ingenuity of an absolutely transcending quality, which so mitigates against the idea of chance. Is it really credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest element of which-a functional protein or gene-is complex beyond our own creative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis of chance, which excels in every sense anything produced by the intelligence of man? Between a living cell and the most highly ordered non-biological system, such as a crystal or a snowflake, there is a chasm as vast and absolute as it is possible to conceive.”
I am from germany and this video was easier to understand for me, than everything i found in german! So thank you!!
Yes, "Oparin imagined." So true, and that's one of the few facts in this video.
A much needed video! Great job.
Cool video - great job explaining the Miller-Urey experiment.
The only constructive criticism I would make is around Darwin's contributions stated early in the video. His theory wasn't called "The Theory of Evolution" - that's a misnomer making it sound like he came up with the idea of evolution - the idea that relatively simple life forms can give rise to more complex life forms. He did not. Evolution was observed and established as fact in the scientific community long before Darwin's involvement. But we didn't understand _how_ evolution happened.
Darwin's theory was actually called "The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection" and it sought to explain that evolution happens via a process he called "natural selection". It was one of multiple theories trying to explain the _how_ and his is the theory that stood the test of time and was best supported by the evidence found since.
farmers took advantage of selective breeding since ancient times and so darwin gained idea of selective breeding to come up with natural selection

+Kelly Duitmann Actually, oxygen came much later, as a waste product of the early life. The other chemicals came from the out-gassing rocks of the forming planet.
I think you posted in the wrong place. This is a video about chemistry, not logical fallacies. The entire point is that chemistry alone can create the building blocks of life without needing a designer or necessary being. Life is plastic to its environment, so of course things are going to fit hand in glove. Soda is not manufactured in 12 ounce cylinders then wrapped in aluminum - an amorphous fluid fills whatever its placed in.

Feelings, Thoughts, Universal Information, Free Will, everything like that is not matter of any kind. and thus couldn't have evolved from chemistry.

Very clear explanation, easy to understand. Thank you.
I can just see the people that gave it the 6 dislikes: "Oh I have this book the was written 2k years ago that says something different so this must be wrong"
+aroseland1 this is wrong.. the experiment had excluded oxygen.. no oxygen no life...keep that in mind
+andy kimin Can you explain that more? water has oxygen in it (H2O) so if they evaporated water in the apparatus then that would clearly put oxygen into the equation. Please let me know what you mean thanks!
aroseland1 no dear.. Although there's oxygen in water, in equilibrium almost none of it is present as O2. That's very familiar from the behavior of water nowadays. Even when heated to boiling, water doesn't decompose and give off O2. but by electrolysis or Photochemical dissociation it can produce O2. but the experimet didn't promote these. therefore O2 was almost completely excluded in this experiment. :)
It is easy to get confused because this experiment is misleading..
+andy kimin Okay, maybe that is true. But the experiment is just to show how the building blocks of live could form, if it shows they could form in less ideal conditions (with out oxygen) then that further validates the idea that they can naturally form in unlikely conditions. And the experiment doesn't show complex living organisms starting, it just shows how you can get a simple chemical division under those conditions. So I don't see how the lack of oxygen would de-validate the implications of the experiment?
aroseland1 OMG.. Let me tell you a secret. Miller knew there was O2 in the atmosphere. But if he included O2 in the experiment, O2 will oxidize most of the substance in the experiment and this won't produce amino acid :) so, he purposely exclude O2 to get the desired result. I won't call this experiment science...It was a fraud and a disgrace for science
This video help me a lot! Tks for sharing with us, I also loved the channel!
im watching this for school fml
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO! ❤
But did they ever continue that experiment to see if something actually forms from it? Just because you get a few molecules, does not mean they actually form DNA. It is a complex code needing a translator and power supply. nether of the three can exist without the other.
If it was really that much a breakthrough, I would imagine they would have continued it till they created a single celled organism. Or at the very least a start of a DNA construction.
Found this article about how the experiment fares out nowadays: goo.gl/0PG2fK
The issue, it seems, is that while the Miller-Urey experiment is a good proof of concept for the creation of organic molecules out of simpler ones, the _specifics_ are not very good. That's because we now know more about the way the early Earth's atmosphere was like than in Miller's time, and those conditions are not ideal for this experiment to produce good molecules as it is designed. So it's seen today as a dead-end.
So instead, scientists are focusing on other plausible methods for obtaining complex molecules and basically starting from zero as Miller did back in his day. Recreating scenarios such as deep ocean vents, comets, etc, and seeing which one is a better candidate.
So why they not teach that then I wonder?
daniellclary My guess is that it's a similar reason to why we learn about Pavlov's dogs or the Michelson-Morley experiment (which disproved the luminiferous aether).
Even when the experiment is not too useful today, it was a big breakthrough back then, and became the foundation for a whole new branch in science.
As it says in a video this was only mean to demonstrate the feasibility of getting organic molecules from non-organic molecules.
It is unlikely that even at the time they thought they could just let this keep running and ever get an actual cell. This being because there are far more variables to be able to progress.
Indeed as Arturo points out this particular method is not a plausible candidate for how it happened on earth but it remains a functional and relatively simple demonstration of the principal.
A few competing hypothesis exist for the way it would have happened on earth, many of which have similar ability to producing organic molecules from non-organic molecules
I recently listened to the audible book Life Ascending by Nick Lance. In which they he addresses experiments his team has been working on with laboratory representations of alkali vents from the deep seas . In these experiments, If I'm not mistaken, they see all the way through the generation of random strings of useless RNA.
This is however only one of the proposed method for how life actually arose and much work needs to be done still in verifying the results of these experiments.
This is why the Miller-Urey experiment is a better candidate for demonstrating the principal of organic molecules from non-organic molecules: something that at the time was viewed as not possible. This experiment is done, has been verified via repeat experiments, and answers only a specific question..
The Miller Urey experiment is perfectly valid for what it claims to demonstrate. It only falls short if you try to extrapolate more from it than it claims to offer.
I would not call you names. Only an infant does that. But I do agree with you. So often things are sewed to support a view.
You are doing a great job with these videos! Keep it up!
So,basically, this experiment in fact did NOT create any life itself but just the necessary physical organic building blocks for material that may contain it if that was possible. Alright then.
Good summary. We haven't reached a stage where we can create life, but this is just another piece of the puzzle. How long until scientist are able to simulate the next step of life?
Yeah you have to put in account that this happened in long periods of time
Still quite the breakthrough.

Very Good video, thank you for explaining the experiment!
So back when I was still a creationist I was dismissive of the expiriment's indication that organic material could be created from inorganic material with such ease, but I had another take-away from this experiment. When exploring outer space or terraforming lifeless worlds(I.e some worlds will likely have the ability support life but not happen to have it yet.) processes like the one in this could be used to create servicable quantities of basic biomatter out of completely inorganic matter, by processing the basic materials, then feeding the end product to microbes. So I was the annoying Bible-thumper getting into arguments with the atheist kids over the plausibility of colonizing outer space, only it was the atheist kids saying "There's no soil up there, so how the fuck we going to farm anything?" And I'm the one chiming in, "Hello! If the Miller-Urey experiment tells us ANYTHING, it's that we can literally make it out of materials that are EVERYWHERE!"
The part about soil... The funny thing is if there is an atmosphere with wind, there will be dust. If there is water, there will be erosion. To get soil out of that, all one needs to do is add the appropriate biomatter and microbes, and you have soil.
Well I'm not really sure about your idea there. Basic chemisty doesn't need very much energy and its rather small scale monomers that are produced. For larger scale things above the size of amino acids you'd need more energy. That means a closer sun or maybe a geothermal vent or something that heats things up faster. Then you have the problem of the waste product's. You have to get rid of the biproducts of all this chemistry or it micht in fact end up destroying the system. On earth there was no oxygen for example which isn't a requirement for life but it is for living thing with more than a few cellss. Multicelled creatures need lots of energy and oxygen is the only element we know of that can supply that energy in tge shortest pathway. Thankfully on earth the biproduct of early life was oxygen... It poisonous though. Despite your fondness of the stuff it will eventually kill you! Lol. So now you need yet more energy and pathways to stop the oxygen from destroying the system... So for a faraway planet to suppot life then it would need to have existing life! Its the life on earth that built the life support system for life on earth.
TonyTime elaborate?
mystuff the only thing I can think of is a claim that the *original experiment only created toxic, left hand amino acids. That is only mostly true, because when the samples were retested with note sophisitaced technique, right hand amino acids were also found, albeit in small quantities.
Even still, no one knows what the first life actually was, and if could have been produced from either left or right handed amino acids, or if it could use a combination of both. But aside from that, the experiment was only ever supposed to be a proof of concept, not a proof of theory.
Thank you for this awesome explanation. Makes so much more sense now!
great
this is like ASAP science but more helpful for studying. great job!!!!!!
Charlotte vil du med til Galla?

Reality triggers creationists
That doesn't disprove creation! Because you can combine things in a lab and make something out of them doesn't mean that's how life started in the beginning.
dubo la they didn’t combine things in a lab, they simulated earth and amino acids formed *naturally.*
@@yeahkeen2905 But the Miller-Urey results were later questioned: It turns out that the gases he used (a reactive mixture of methane and ammonia) did not exist in large amounts on early Earth. Scientists now believe the primeval atmosphere contained an inert mix of carbon dioxide and nitrogen-a change that made a world of difference.
@@lilyoyo77 It was questioned with a better understanding of the enviroment of earth's ancient past, wich gave rise to better simulations of that enviroment, wich in turn resulted on improved experiments that produced new and and far more complex structures that could form the basis of early life on earth, wich further supported the hypopthesis of life coming from non life.
I might be wrong, but you seem to be suggesting that this theory is inplausible because the original 70 year old experiment used as proof of concept was not accurate with our current understanding of the enviroment when life first appeared. But not without reason, abiogenesis is accepted as the most likely explanation for the origin of life.
and if you do think all of this is wrong, you can present your reasoning and evidence to the scientific community and get a nobel prize
This was really well explained. I now understand much better. Thank you
Silly scientists. You can't "simulate" the will of Allah.

A suck they did
Testable SWAGS (scientific wild assumptions and guesses) and the "Miller-Urey Experiment" stated clearly...
Nice pat on the back to you and production staff at the end of your video. Excellent job and well deserved! Agreed! You did an excellent job in the production of your video commentary and explanation of " Miller-Urey Experiment" Great use of animations and story line.
It would be nice to have a commentary like this one on the "Second Law of Thermodynamics" and the experiments that prove it is a law, not a theory.
Yes, AND many questions still remain about "the origin of life."
The biggest questions about the Miller-Urey Experiment and all similar subsequent research which followed are
The experiment created a mixture that was racemic (containing both L and D enantiomers).
Yet in nature, L amino acids dominate our physical and chemical structure and
we only exists by using on enantiomer, L-amino acids.
So as in this case, then "Why isn't life as we know it just an amorphous mixture of L and D amino acids????? "
According the "Second Law of Thermodynamics",
Why don't we exist as a 50/50 mixture of racemates of eantiomeric amino acids????
The second law is certainly not speculation, it is a law.
Unlike like Darwin's theory (empirical theory based purely on observation and speculative work, birds have feathers thus all animals with feather are birds) to Miller's hypothesis and first attempt to gain insight of the "origins of life" from a simple chemical perspective by conducting experiments in the lab, "laws" however, are not meant to be broken. Like, the Law of Electrostatics or Law of Conservation of Matter. These are laws. Law are not theories and do not explain why I did not evolve from a " warm pond of amorphous sludge" as a 50/50 mixture when according to the law we should have.
The question remains "Why do we only exist as an single enantiomer, L-amino acid, and not a 50/50 mixture amorphous mixture of L and D-amino acids?" if we evolved according to Darwin's "Empirical" Theory of Evolution from a little warm pond that had a chemical composition produced and observed/analyzed in a laboratory in Chicago in the 1950's.
The second law of thermodynamics (entropy) says states we should be a 50/50 mixture of amino acids but "origins of life" but life is NOT a 50/50 mixture.
LASTLY, highly reducing gases, hydrogen, methane, ammonia together in the presence of water gas were used in the experiment ( in your commentary and video , water as a primordial soup gas, was only indirectly "speculatively" shown as an important ingredient of this experiment ) . We know from the evaporation of water , H2O gas, it was present along with H2, CH4, NH3 in the experiment.
I often wonder if Miller in his experiment degassed (purged) his water of other chemicals like oxygen??????
How well did he scrub his experiment of dissolved gases of O2 and other contaminants from the gases hydrogen, methane, ammonia and the water used in his experiment?????????
What the fuck. Where do these people come from?
WTF
I'm quite sure that "Talk origins" has answered this question... So, look at that site..
agreed I've just had a argument with a couple of Creatards on the Guardian website. I had one watch the videos on Evolution etc and he almost came around, almost. He was of course a Creatard so still insists scientists suggest life just popped into existence
You have to make this comment by calling people names?!
Very interesting display of knowledge!
1. Is it possible that there is a common designer, not a common ancestor?
That's all for now!
Sorry, one more thing, since I've just finished reading it:
www.icr.org/article/9753
Yeah it is possible that there is a Flying Spaghetti Monster and till someone disproves me I believe in our great savior, blessed may be his meat balls!
It's amazing to me how hateful some of the evolutionists become when you challenge their ideas.
Of course, it's not really their ideas, they simply mime the material that they've been taught (something that they accuse creationists of, all the time).
I am so glad I clicked on this video. I almost didn't because the thumbnail made me think it was just a boring water cycle video
Really? Since then, with all the advancement of technology what has the lab produce? Still amino acid?
It has produced a new species after 32,000 generations --- evolution in action.
so what's your point exactly ?
@@fritzdiaz2680 you can’t make living things from non living things
@@muhammadm4582
Experiment show that you can!
@@almightybunny3320 what experiment.?.. give me peer reviewed publications.
There probably is life in atoms and subatomic particles, we just close our minds to the idea. This follows from the proposition "life can only arise from life".
Bye christianity, hello atheism
Wtf ,watch james tour ,origin of life.
Huh?
Actually "STATED CLEARLY"👍🏻
Let's say that it was possible that simple monomers such as amino acids, lipids and sugars were able to form randomly in an early earth. Those monomers are still a very very very very long way from becoming life. Let's say that somehow phospholipids were randomly created and spontaneously formed a double layered micelle membrane with some random amino acids, sugars and even nucleic acids inside. In order for that to happen the primordial soup would have to be saturated with these compounds. Then these compounds would have to have magically come together into a polymerase enzyme that link random ribose, phosphate and nucleic acids together to form either RNA or DNA. Enzymes don't just magically spontaneously come together, they have to be put together by other enzymes. Not to mention the sequence of amino acids in this enzyme would have to be very very specific. It would have to be the right shape with the right active site. These things don't happen all by themselves. Seeing as how DNA polymerase enzyme is 783 amino acids long the odds of this happening are 1 in 20^(783) or 1 in 10^(1018). That number is more than the number of atoms in the observable universe which is 10^123. But the odds are actually much much much much lower than that. Considering all of the different sizes of proteins those odds have to be added to that number. That number comes out to (10^1018)! which is equal to 1 in 10^(10^(1021)). That is ten to the power of ten to the power of one thousand and twenty one!!! That is more than a googolplex times ten raised to a billion! The chances are so infinitesimally small that the concept of life evolving is beyond laughable! Not to mention you have to work against the laws of entropy which are constantly breaking things down.
But wait! It doesn't end there! Even the most simple cellular life form has THOUSANDS of different proteins interacting in a specific way to work toward a specific goal, usually to store energy in a useful form such as ATP or to form new proteins that build the cell or create other proteins. So just add few more numbers to that power.
I could go on an on about the impossibility of this idea. There is no chance on earth that these proteins randomly formed without enzymes to create them and some mind to design a function and goal for them to accomplish. It is simply a foolish idea to think such a thing. I do not have enough faith in scientists or in evolution to believe such a thing. On the contrary the existence and specific design of a God is so much more fathomable and scientifically believable. The Miller-Urey experiment was done in the 50's. It has been over 60 years and no other experiment worth mentioning has come to give us any support for abiogenesis? Sounds to me like science is dead in the water. So much for God of the disappearing gaps. Science pointing to God as the creator is alive and well.
+Justin Bosley Your argument about how abiogenesis is "impossible" is predicated on the absurd assumption that life (or processes leading to life) must have somehow instantly begun at the level of complexity of DNA/RNA and a full suite of transcriptases and enzymes.
This is like arguing that flight was never possible before the incredibly complex cutting-edge stealth fighters of today, therefore they must have just magically sprung into existence, and therefore "God" must have intelligently designed all aircraft because they're "just too complex" otherwise. That's a ridiculous notion on its face.
The fact that you can explain everything with god doesnt make god real.you are just making an excuse for not knowing something instead of admitting it.
For evolution to occur you need something that can reproduce it self ,it doesn't need to be a complex rna/dna strain.
Justin Bosley Even if you were correct in your assumption that improbable = impossible, which you're not, that still wouldn't point to a creator, and even if it pointed to a creator, which again it doesn't, it wouldn't necessarily point to a god, and even if it pointed to a god, which yet again it doesn't, it woudn't by any stretch of the imagination point to any specific god.
It is indeed stated clearly!
This doesn't impress me at all. Scientists try to create something in their labs that will prove that life began spontaneously, without a creator. But the fact is, even if they create something meaningful, they provide proof against themselves because it shows that an intelligent mind is required to conduct an experiment, someone who knows what they're doing. If there's no scientist, there's no experiment. Open your eyes, you may even be a layman but you still have a mind to think, capable of reasoning.
Science exists without anyone practicing it. Science is based on evidence. Science exists without anyone observing the evidence. The laws of nature exist and are constant without anyone observing/understanding them. But what we do understand 100% is that no facts/truth/evidence preached by religion exist.
1) Experiment was designed by scientist to replicate expected conditions on ancient Earth. The planet was created as the result of simple laws of physics such as gravity, see gravitational collapse.
2) Prove the existence of creator and then we will discuss it's capabilities and whether it can do anything.
3) Granting you existence of complex creator, what created your creator?
@@pavel9652 I also would add. The Miller-Urey experiment was 70 years ago. We have progressed light years since. Many other experiments duplicated several parts of abiogenesis. It is only a few more decades before wee duplicate the entire process. Dr. Jack Szostak and team at Harvard are making steady progress.
@@maylingng4107 Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the extra details! I see you are challenging disinformation on the platform. Be mindful of the ai filter.

Why did you withhold the total failure of the experiment to produce Only left-handed amino acids? This video although enjoyable to watch, leaves much to be desired in the way of Truth.
Life is mostly made up of left handed amino acids, right?
@@athulkathul7112peace be with you ~
all living organism are made of entirely left handed aminos. Just one right handed amino will render the sequence lifeless. Yet this experiment always produced an outcome of 50% right and 50% left. Not producing the promising outcome hinted at in this video.
@@ChristIsKing0919 No, we are made mostly out of left handed amino acids. But many biological processes use right handed amino acids. I think bacterial cell walls use right handed amino acids. It's that, left handed molecules were mainly selected over right handed molecules through chemical evolution. Funnily enough, almost all amino acids in our body are left handed, while sugars are right handed, so we have right handed DNA.
@@athulkathul7112 the following can be looked up. It is a quote taking from the Smithsonian Magazine: "On Earth, the amino acids characteristic of life are all “left-handed” in shape, and cannot be exchanged for their right-handed doppelgänger. Meanwhile, all sugars characteristic of life on Earth are “right-handed.” The opposite hands for both amino acids and sugars exist in the universe, but they just aren’t utilized by any known biological life form. (Some bacteria can actually convert right-handed amino acids into the left-handed version, but they can’t use the right-handed ones as is.) In other words, both sugars and amino acids on Earth are homochiral: one-handed."
Those bacteria your referring to must "convert" the right to left.
@@ChristIsKing0919 I'm talking about molecules such as non-ribosomal peptides. Proteins synthesized by the ribosomal RNA are primarily left handed, and we're trying to figure out why but it's been pretty evident that it's likely to do with the structure of the ribosome rather than the molecule itself. However, there are peptides called non-ribosomal peptides in some, especially primative, biological systems which do in fact use some right handed amino acids.
This channel is amazing. Thank you for explaining things so wonderfully.
Review article published in 2013 "Viral and Bacterial Interactions in the Upper Respiratory Tract", explain how bacteria and viruses living happily in our nostrils and ear can one fine day turn virulent. I have seen how a simple viral infection in a child suddenly convert bacteria into superbugs that result in sepsis that kill.
A student, asked me a simple question "Why does Epiglotitis occur only in children less than 2 years and not adults?". In 1990s, I spent six months searching for information to answer this question. The reason was interaction between virus and bacteria present in the throat.
This is like you hanging about patiently in front of Buckingham Palace and trying to enter. One fine day, a friendly officer (virus) or a major incidence happen when the guards run around creating an opportunity to walk in. Similarly, constantly bombard electromagnetic and micro waves embed by mobile phone into our ears and nose as we speak can help bacteria enter or a spark can help create new viruses or turn bacteria virulent.
This has happened before, happening now and am sure "Jugernaut Bacteria" is not a hypothetical assumption but a practical problem that we must start thinking about...People expect scientists to know the answer, but how can the scientist see what my subconscious mind can see. They can only prove or disprove my hypothesis.
When Charles Darwin said "Bacteria and viruses evolved in a pond of hot volcanic lava", no one believed but now it is an accepted hypothesis. This is similar to your belief "GOD" exists even though you have not seen GOD. things you cannot. My hypothesis about Staphylococcus aureus becoming a major threat to humanity, later turned out to be MRSA (mersa)that later created "Superbugs".

Hilarious cartoon, did life form naturally, never.
It did you troll
So prove to me, that live didn't form naturally? Can you do it?
That was a great video. Lots of information and digestible. I feel like I can set up that experiment myself now.
