- The search for the origin of life is nothing new. Abiogenesis - life from non life - has fascinated and frustrated science for countless years. But what if we've been going about it the wrong way?
PROFESSOR LEE CRONIN holds the Regius chair of chemistry at the University of Glasgow. His primary interests are in the creation of artificial lifeforms using inorganic chemistry.
MARK from Evolution Soup talks to Lee about his 'Inorganica' experiments, the nature of living things, why inorganic 'dead stuff' matters and - most importantly - why evolution is the engine that powers it all.

In 2014 Lee Cronin was recognised as one of the UK’s top 10 Inspiring Sciences and Engineers (RISE)

Possibly the most incredible question you could ever ask!
LEE CRONIN, the man who said he would create life in 2 years in his lab in 2011. Still loading...
He’s still loading his grant payments
when he does create life it wont matter to you anyway.
so why bother
@@spatrk6634 Two kinds of people. Those who believe in God and those who believe they are God...Guess which category Cronin is in...
@@orthochristos i barely care.
majority of world population believes in some god from human history, or they invented their own god.
thing is that majority of this god believing people dont have need to lie about reality so that their religion can make more sense.
@@spatrk6634 Whatever floats your boat, mate.I could not care less, either
brilliant
I recall 7th grade science class where the topic of the definition of life was raised. The teacher used a small combustion engine to illustrate the differences and similarities between living and non living things. Fast forward many years and I remember laying in bed with my ex wife 30+ yrs ago and saying that in our lifetime, they will create life from non living matter. Lee Cronin is pretty bad ass. I've heard him talk before but I'll be following his work a bit more closely now. Fun stuff.
Still hasn't happened tho😂
@@IndoorNewb : We haven't established a base on the moon yet but that doesn't mean it's not possible or even unlikely.
14:44 Slight quibble: Elon's not the first to land a rocket on legs, the lunar lander did it back in '69 ;)
It strikes me that complaining that thus-and-such is "destroying the mystery" is just a fancy way of defending willful ignorance.
At the end, I think I see what he's saying about evolution being force-like, but rather than draw an analogy to gravity, I think the better expression might be that evolution, like the second law of thermodynamics, is a unstoppable pattern in the universe.
They didn't land the Saturn 5 and Starship is bigger with twice the thrust. The lunar lander was small with 1/6 the gravity. (That said, I don't like the man one bit)
I'm curious about how this hypothesis may intersect with Jeremy England's work and Constructor Theory. I am just barely keeping up with the concepts but they are fascinating.
very smart individual
This was excellent!
If this works there is a Nobel prize waiting for him
Alfred Nobel a man who made his fortune on arms and explosives created a prize to improve his image. A “nobel” what a honour.
@@msheart2 : Yes, dynamite was used in war as was radio, aircraft, ships, and print. It was also used to build the railroads and tunnels that allows travel and commerce... but he gave his fortune to reward people who improve the world. It was and is a very prestigious honor.
why can you not just tell us how to make life than explain us this can this and that without proof?
This is a magical fairy tale. Ask questions, use reason and logic. Lee is a Dr of misinformation and dodging real chemistry.
How are you going to make life if you don't define it?
Clever, but improbable, and an entertaining go at changing language to get what you can't otherwise get. In other words, no life from non-life but evolution exists nonetheless.
Abiogenesis did happen. That's a fact, as life is here. And we are pretty close to making new life in the lab, ourselves, too! We are coming closer all the time, in fact. Look for a channel by/called Anton Petrov, and look at one of his very recent videos. It's pretty cool! Oh, and links to papers and articles are always in his description - read the paper.
(Edited for clarity & typos)
It's hardly a rational argument to suggest that a natural process of physics and chemistry resulting in a biology of physics and chemistry in impossible but... magic is possible. Magic AKA the supernatural. Something for which there is no evidence or data cannot rationally be the cause of anything.
Such important concepts made clear. Lee Cronin is a genius.
He really isn't. James Tour wins the debate
@@mkovis8587 : Haha... Tour. What a joke. He misuses science to promote his superstition like the rest of the ID hacks at Design Institute.
Defining "faith" as "something that can't be falsified" renders science a faith too.
Science searching for LAWS OF NATURE implies there exists a system called NATURE (practically a new name for GOD of conventional religions) that determines the flow of all events in the universe, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT WE OURSELVES DO IN IT, which cannot be falsified either.
Science is a faith, but what is important to note is that faith can be constructive or destructive.
Faith, I guess, is more appropriately defined as "accepting something as possible even when all evidence indicate otherwise", which in fact implies the earlier definition too.
Thus faith is not essentially negative (meaning wrong, bad or evil ~ as different from the self contradicting definitions of this word in science and mathematics).
The best example of a constructive faith was that of Wright Brothers, who believed it possible for humans to fly when all evidence proved otherwise.
Interestingly science, with its current criterion of proof, PREDICTIONS tallying with results of experiments and/or observations, is even more destructive than religions as it doesn't guarantee that its inventions (yes!) won't cause more harm than naturally exist.
This could only change if science sets PREVENTION of evil (predation, disasters, diseases ~ which include all birth defects, all weapons manufacture and all violence ~ and death) as the only criterion of proof of accuracy of the laws it invents.
Faith = Gullibility.
@@jesterc.6763
Certainly NOT always.
Stating this undifferentiated general conclusion, even after the clear explanation of context dependence of the value of the concept, is sheer stupidity.
With that you are villifying the essential source of all positive inventions.
@@mykrahmaan3408 I have faith that you're wrong. Therefore I am right.
@@jesterc.6763
You certainly have all the right to go to hell with all your rights intact.
Who cares!
@@jesterc.6763
You certainly have all the right to go to hell with all your "rights" and "wrongs" intact.
As a devout Christian man of faith, I am excited about Dr. Cronin's research. I don't know that we'll ever see life created in a lab like he explains, but kudos to him for trying.
Well, we are coming closer all the time. Look for a channel by/called Anton Petrov, and look at one of his very recent videos. It's pretty cool!
@@MaryAnnNytowl he's awesome. "Hello wonderful people" always perks me up a bit to hear him say it lol
@@walkerflocker7811 yes, and the "stay wonderful" at the end always makes me smile, too! 😊
Time to upgrade definitions? Breaking it down into the tiniest components ( I'm not really sure what they are at this point), let's just go with atoms, molecules, wavelengths and frequencies, its all always been here; Or has it? I can't t wrap my head around ' nothing. Outside of mathematical equations can anyone, really? Same with eternity. The old conundrums. So much we don't know. And if its all always interacting and evolving will we ever nail it? Is it all intelligent and conscious and that is what some call God? Its all fascinating though. He' s starting with the universe already being created and biology evolving from that point, so that still leaves the mystery. . Twisting, turning, ask forever .
I am struggling to keep my head above water with the new hypotheses but they are fascinating.
Cool. Liked and subbed
For all of you Doubting Thomases:
Abiogenesis did happen. That's a fact, as life is here. And we are pretty close to creating life in the lab, ourselves, too! We are coming closer all the time, and in fact, depending on your definition, we already have.
Look for a channel by/called Anton Petrov, and look at one of his very recent videos. It's pretty cool! And, BTW, Anton _always_ includes links to any scientific papers and relevant articles about the subject for the day right in the description. I'd suggest you read the articles from the links.
For the channel, yet another great video! Thanks for what you do. 😊
Creating life in a lab sounds like intelligent design. Good luck with that.
“ Abiogenesis did happen ” Nothing ever comes from nothing, you can’t get a 1 from a zero.. Manipulation is not evolution, and evolution is a theory not a fact what it is in fact is based on eugenics.
Go on it will be a piece of cake, make a bacteria 🦠 from dust
I wanna see him make the dust.
the glaring missing ingredient is the origin of the forces that holds every particle together.
it's like assuming the presence of mortar (without access to it) while speculating on how to build a brick wall.
The mortar is described by the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
At some point, some things are just brute facts. Where that point is we don't know yet but the progress made has been extraordinary.
Life doesn’t come from non life, cells aren’t reducible and the rational doesn’t come from the irrational.
Starting at 26:55, Lee already addresses your critique. He's says that you can't jumble a bunch of junk around and come up with an iphone---or by analogy a living cell---purely by chance. Instead, some information---by his definition a form of life---was required. However, the life that made the first cells doesn't have to be a cell itself; it could have been some more primitive living/life-like thing. If jumbling some parts around can create an extremely primitive information system, then that can make a slightly more complex information system, which can make a even slightly more complex information system, and so on, until eventually these information systems are complex enough to make information systems as complex as cells.
Lee is putting the work in to see what kind of primitive information systems could plausibly have been randomly jostled into existence. I assume you do more with your life than just posting youtube comments that foster hopelessness?
@@okuno54 Josh is scientifically correct. Life doesn't come from non life. Lee will put in the work til he's blue in the face because he doesn't yet understand that life can only come from life. Some don't like this fact because the conclusion is, the FIRST CAUSE of life must be LIVING. But hey, don't give in to current scientific facts. Just keep going in other directions that helps you turn a blind eye to the obvious.
@@moshemyym4627 How did the 'First Cause' come to be?
@@L.Ron_Dow Well, since something can't come from nothing, the First Cause had to always exist.
@@moshemyym4627 _"since something can't come from nothing, the First Cause had to always exist."_ Right, I agree. Nothing comes from Nothing - right?
So, if things are allowed to exist eternally - the simplest explanation for 'Existence/Reality' is that the Cosmos, in which our universe started to grow about 14Bya (like a bubble of gas in a glass of soda-water,) is itself eternal. The molecules Carbon Dioxide in the gas bubble in soda don't magically appear from nowhere - they are distibuted throughout the liquid and just condense to make the bubble.
That means everything that exists has always been - in one form or another. No magic needed.
Is Dr Cronin going to split the Evo2.0 OOL $10M award with Dr Szostak? Could Dr Sara Walker beat them both and get the prize alone? Who else is in the race?
Didn't Dr Szostak predict in 2014 that by 2019 he would have it all figured out, and perhaps by 2017? Could his breakthrough announcement happen anytime soon? Doesn't that bother Dr Cronin? When Dr Cronin expect to be ready to convince Dr Noble and Dr Church?
Bingo. That’s what it’s always about money & ego find their name in a book, nothing else money and ego.
money+ego
looking for a horse race to bet on?
like an old vaudeville skit or sci-fi movie
akin to the opening theme song skit to the Patti Duke show
w/ 2 folk looking at a mirror seeing themself except it isn't actually a mirror
it's just someone else also seeing themself in each other's pose sings
It shouldn't be 'life from non-life," it should be 'life from NOTHING." That's what God did. Start with a vacuum, and create life. Go ahead. Start...........NOW!
@@NilsExp Bingo!
@@LazlosPlane _"it should be 'life from NOTHING.' That's what God did. Start with a vacuum, and create life."_ How do you know that there was Nothing to begin with? Which verse in the scriptures says that Gѻd started with a vacuum?
@@LazlosPlane if there was nothing but a vacuum then where did gawd come from? Did he pull himself out of his own ass? An all knowing all powerful magic man just magically creating itself out of nothing then talking everything into existence is ridiclous.. there was always energy and energy can create matter, even if you start with energy, how did that energy magically turn it's self into a all knowing all powerful magic man To create everything else? That's quiet a big leap don't you think? The big bang theory is much more gradual without the need to invoke the bat shit crazy
There is no such thing as nothing. You can not get something from nothing.
Such platitudes…. 😂
Idiotic idea from a good researcher.
Idiotic? Hardly! Abiogenesis did happen. That's a fact, as life is here. And we are pretty close to creating it in a lab, too! We are coming closer all the time, in fact - depending on one's definition, we are literally on the brink! Look for a channel by/called Anton Petrov, and look at one of his very recent videos. It's pretty cool! And it should change your mind. BTW, as he always does, Anton includes a link to the scientific paper(s) in his description. Read the paper.
@@MaryAnnNytowl Looooooooool, pitty you!
@@MaryAnnNytowl “ late 19th century: from a-1 ‘not’ + Greek bios ‘life’ + genesis.” Scientism and bullshit definitions. Something can not come from not.thing. Venerating the same scientism which engineers the weather modifies seeds, livestock to patent and own it.
It's apparent some of you have no respect for Nature, your subordinates fanatics to scientism and words conceived by eugenicist who play god as though these egomaniacal fools have the answer to life they do things because they can instead of questioning if they should.
Scientific papers, pfffttt, do you have any clue how many of these so called scientific papers are bogus, I doubt it.
You might convince yourself….
