Impressive video! I'm genuinely thrilled to see Michael Behe back with 'Secrets of the Cell'.
'Secrets of the Cell' and 'Origin of Life' series are my favorite videos from this channel. This latest video could potentially be the most beautifully produced and persuasive presentation of evidence for Intelligent Design.
WOW!!! Absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring video. Dr Behe really manages to articulate, in a simple way, a very complex subject matter. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!
Spectacular video Dr. Behe. After watching this magnificent presentation anyone who continues to believe that chance mutations coupled with natural selection could possibly build such a marvelous organism as the human body is in complete denial of reality.
Evolution is an utter fact, whether you believe in it or not. Intelligent design as little evidence, and many postulations. The reality is that organisms evolved.
Just because the discovery institute says something doesn’t make it true
@@Dunger974 Dud!
@@Dunger974 Your comment is void of substance. Can you embellish it to dispense wisdom that Capt. Obvious hasn't already? It is as empty as, "you can't trust everything that you read on the Internet", as if anyone ever did or would.
The video id FULL of substance or haven't you noticed?. @@JamesBrown-fd1nv
Dr. Behe is an example of the real scientist for me. Integrity and honesty should be the foundation pillars of each and every scientist. If you see white you should tell everyone it is white not grey or green but white. Also being a scientist means to show that certain things simply won't work - like perpetual mobile. And sometimes it takes courage to say the truth... I wish more scientists like Dr. Behe
I see what you mean but its quite a poor example, because white is but a label we put on what we see and not an inherent truth. The two way to go about it is pragmatics and semantics. Either you point what you assign the label to (i.e. the colour of that fruit that I hold is what I call red), that is pragmatics, or describe the parameters of what you assign the label to (i.e. the electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 600nm and 700nm), that is semantics.
@@enomiellanidrac9137 as long as the person you are speaking to understands what you are saying, that is the bottom line. Whether you are using semantics or pragmatism, if you are evasive in your language you will end up with misunderstanding. I can focus on the molecular structure of the ink, or I can focus on the words written with it. When you focus too much on the former you end up with people saying that it is merely ink.
I am in awe , yet not surprised at Dr Behe's high quality educational presentation. Outstanding greatly needed information. Thank you.
This is an amazing video! Excellent graphics and Michael’s explanations bring great clarity to vast complexity. What an astonishing God, worthy of our humble awe
I wouldn't go as far as to call him a god.
@@enomiellanidrac9137 I would. God is God and we human beings are nothing compared to Him.
Agreed. All I could do while watching this was think how worthy of all honor, praise and glory Jesus is, through Whom everything that has been made was made. Amazing.
Brilliant!
Thank you professor Behe!
This is food to my soul ❤.
It's the best explanation of DNA and cell complexity. Just amazing!
Exactly Food for my soul too!
The sophistication of control mechanisms that must be involved in the formation of bone and muscle are beautifully shown. The assumption is made that DNA must contain all of that information. DNA forms the parts, but it is not yet known where the blueprint for the shape is stored, or where is the instruction code that directs the timed development process. As a retired research biologist, I want to suggest that there is still more information somewhere - we do not know where - that moves cells into the shapes and directs the timed differentiation of the cells.
I agree. We are learning more and more everyday when it comes to this. What remains to be discovered? That it is far more complicated then we thought, as we see from new discoveries.
Wouldn't that be possible to be some form of autoassembling molecules?
This is sooo much better and clearer than all my University classes on Biology. Thank you for making this great content!
Did your university lectures not teach you evolution?
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 They may have taught evolution but not biology. Those are 2 different things. Evolution is dead. Long live biology!
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 Evolution is a subject for philosophy, not science.
@@JamesBrown-fd1nv. That’s hilarious. Creationism and ID literally require the actions of a supernatural being - i.e. is not subject to the laws of nature! Who’s the philosopher here?
@@JamesBrown-fd1nv evolution is a proven, testable and repeatable fact of nature, that is why we have a scientific theory to explain how and why it works. On the other hand the creation myths have not been proven, can't be tested, nor repeated and on top of that go against every single aspect of reality we've observed.
This is by far the best TH-cam explanation of DNA and the complexity of the human body. I put two links on my website. The graphic really helped. Great work guys.
Thanks for the idea! I am adding links to my website also! Spreading the word!
You trust the Discovery Channel?
It's far worse for naturalism than he explains. When you REALLY understand that DNA CODE CAN'T SELF-CREATE AND SELF-ASSEMBLE INTO CELLS ACCIDENTALLY as silly naturalists BELIEVE....then you will BEGIN your understanding. Abiogenesis is DISPROVEN myth. But far worse for the MYTHOLOGY of naturalism...it has DISPROVEN evolution. Life DEVOLVES from a BETTER FUNCTIONAL CODE than what we see now. How do we know this? It's what we ACTUALLY OBSERVE SCIENTIFICALLY! We HAVE only observed the breaking down...not building up. The only part that builds UP is the immune system that INGENIUSLY captures the signature of all diseases to kill them. But that DNA CODE NEVER builds anywhere else. Look at the DATA not what BIASED atheistic scientists CLAIM about it. I have incredible information on DNA CODE. The silly naturalists only disprove their own silly FAITH when they OBSERVE EVIDENCE.
The graphics were really well done for sure. There were a number of errors in the commentary though. Information is not massless. Behe’s definition of Information being a “decision” to flip a bit state on or off is completely bogus. Bones don’t grow to “exact specification.” Much much more.
It is clear Behe is trying to sneak in agency when none is required, and none has been demonstrated. Making clear who the target audience is.
@@Tinesthiaactually what he demonstrates is agency. Agency means “action or intervention producing a particular effect”. This is the definition of gene expression.
thank you for the excellent video Mr. behe! this convinces me and encourages me to trust that we are not random creatures. our life is a miracle of creation.
Don't worry, more will be discovered. And the scientist, who claim to be seekers of truth, will still claim it all resulted from an accidental collision and bonding of molecules.
Wow - I am in absolute shock. Why isn’t this exact video taught in our schools? The discovery explanations are fantastic. I think many scientists will discover they can get grants/funding (make a living) by simply expanding on this information vs trying to speculate (evolution for example) on laws of physics that are impossible. Great job! 👏
Excellent production, and well done animations & graphics! The complexity and perfect fine tuning of the integrated systems within biological organisms blows me away as a mechanical engineer. And this video doesn’t even touch on the ontogenetic information embedded in the cell membrane, as described by scientists such as Jonathan Wells. Brilliant video, well done.
Fabulous job. You have won the intellectual argument. It’s now a matter for us to provide grassroots movements to spread the word and lure the world back to its Creator.
I cannot imagine how after taking all of this in one could propose that this is an act of chance.
to "lure" the world back... interesting choice of word here.
@@enomiellanidrac9137 I concur that the word “lure” might have a better replacement. I submit that only an individual who is seeking truth will be interested in the scientific facts contained in this video. The Truth itself will ‘lure’ that individual.
There is no way that any of this happens in a mechanistic way. There is continued guidance and communication among all the micro parts. We, and all life, are wonderfully made and maintained.
We are indeed wonderfully evolved, yet there are many flaws in our bodies.
@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 how is DNA evolved? I think you are underestimating how much information is contained in DNA.
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 Not the best way to put it: to say something "is" evolved is implying a relative comparison to something. A better way is to say our body is the product or result of evolution which is more objective.
@@enomiellanidrac9137 If evolution, then where did the information come from? Only an intelligent mind can add information. We were created.. that is the ONLY reasonable explanation. Evolution is scientifically and mathematically impossible. The odds of forming just the simplest protein by chance is 1 in 10^164. To show how large a number that is, it has been estimated that there are around 10^80 particles in the known universe.. that's every proton, electron and neutron in the known universe. So no, life did not happen by chance. And no, the universe did not create itself out of nothing.
Extremely well presented and helps us identify with confidence the evolution theories that mainstream science gives as fact. If all scientists were honest, they'd acknowledge there are 2 dominant theories for life, and divine design is the more plausible one that hard science seems to support over and over.
Just amazing !! Marvelously explained !!👏👏👏👏👏
Nicely explained, loved your work
Great stuff, Dr Behe!
As I watched this and listened to the “simple complexity” of just a single bone, my heart gave way to how Glorious our Creator is. For he knows each of us to the depths that we cannot possibly fathom. His desire is for us to reach out to Him and get to know Him!
Just imagine, in this exact moment, he knows the position of every Electron in the whole of the Universe. 🤯
What an awesome series...
Much better with video and no mid roll ads. 👍
This is a very clear presentation about the information required for life. I'm fine with the design hypothesis for the information aspect. The question that I think needs formulating is that of the information processor. You might suspect I have a data processing background. (I do.) Information requires a processor to be active and useful. I wouldn't accept an answer that claims molecular processors. That is too circular. Something else must be at work to convert the information into action. That 'something' must start at conception and end at death.
All creation points to an intelligent designer!
Maybe, But why create a virus?
Thanks for all the work
Fascinating ❤️
What an amazing little video! i wish I could tap the "like" button more than once.
if you tap it twice, it gets untapped.
Absolutely excellent!! Ive been a fan of Mikes since 'Black Box'...RnMT
And as complicated as that all seems, this whole video drastically oversimplifies just how complicated cells and DNA are. This doesn't even scratch the surface.
When I learned of the design of stomates - valve-protected pores - on leaves and how the valves engorge with water during the day to be forced open, then emptied out to flop closed at night, for me that was the convincing sign of intelligent design of life. This was in 10th grade bio, over 50 years ago. I often wonder how a microbiologist could remain an atheist after understanding some of the marvels of what goes on withing each cell. Like the walking proteins an the "walkways" for those mobile proteins that form and dissolve "spontaneously".. NOT. (Gadzooks! How *did* they find that?)
I can't find the video now but there was a 1-hour documentary that was part of a series called "The Secret Life of the Cell". This episode dealt with what happens when a virus invades a cell. One grad student interviewed as part of the program commented on the invasion process "It's Brilliant!" Exactly! Now let your ears hear well what you mouth is saying.
Another great video.
I have Behe's Darwin's Black Box and A Mousetrap for Darwin, Wells' Icons of Evolution and Zombie Science, Meyer's Signature in the Cell, Darwin's Doubt and Return of the God Hypothesis Fuz Rana's The Cell's Design and ALL have been great to have. Fuz Rana's book may be dated and I don't know if it's been revised lately but I'm sure it's still a good starter book.
I wish James Tour had a Book.
What book, from the theist's perspective, on Origin of Life, biochemistry, microbiology, evolution, etc. should I have that I haven't listed? Suggestions?
For OOL, two PhDs by the names of Rob Stadler and Change Laura Tan have a book called "Stairway to Life: An Origin-Of-Life Reality Check" (2020). I'm yet to read it but it has received incredible praise.
Darwin on Trial by Phillip Johnson. There's a TH-cam video of him discussing the ideas in his book.
@@kenechiokoli7716 Thank you. I see they have videos to watch. I'll be checking them out tonight. Looks promising.
@@reuvenracionzer8078 Yes, I've heard of this book but haven't looked into it. I'll check the video as I'm ready to get more to read on this. Thanks.
That's a great set of books! I suggest you seek out Behe's Darwin Devolves, plus Design Dissected by David Galloway. Also Your Designed Body by Steve Laufmann and Howard Glicksman. Still on biology, I recommend The Miracle of the Cell by Michael Denton. As you have enjoyed Return of the God Hypothesis I suggest Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life reveals Planning and Purpose by Marcos Eberlin. For a book that is purely Young Earth Creationist you will not do better than Evolution's Achilles Heels ed. Carl Wieland. I will be standing behind you in the queue is James Tour publishes a book.
Thanks a lot for your work!
The most important video on the subject
Thanks for the easy-to-understand explanation. I immediately thought of the "designed" mRna vaccine to create spike proteins.
Designed and sold by people who believe in "junk DNA"
Fascinating, Thank you
Dr Behe is an important thought leader in ID. It is interesting that he is a proponent of common ancestry for all life.
Amazing. Clear. Thank you!
Nice video. We can talk tons on what is there in nature but the final question remains a deep mystery so far.
Richard Dawkins: Piffle! I believe in a monster roulette wheel that I have never seen.
Very impressive ! Blessed is Allāh, the best of creators.
Congratulations Michael Behe on your Golden Crocoduck nomination!
Wow, I'm blown away . this is incredibly interesting.
I love Behe s work .
there is a God. 😊
May God bless you, Dr Behe. I wish I could meet you in person - you, Dr Stephen Meyer and Dr William Lane Craig are my superheroes 👏🙏
We are fearfully and wonderfully made
incredible..... glory to the Creator! 🙏🙏
Michael, this is brilliant
The complexity is too profound by FAR to have arisen by chance. And that is just the complexity we have learned of in the past 30 years. I'm sure we won't learn even more, right?
Fantastic explanations.
Life long learning Biology.
Great 👍👍👍
So much information presented and easy to digest. Bravo! Time to ingest some proteins and put my biological machines to work...
Oh my,... I do so love the last point the most! 😉🙏🏻
God is truly the great architect. Amazing!
Being in a wheelchair for over 33 years and you truly are amazed how anyone can believe there is no God after the proportional information that is given, you’d have to be in serious cognitive dissidence for you to be an atheist after this.
Information is a record of a series of decisions made in the past.
I think the concept include the record of any event, it need not be a "decision".
Thanks from Turkey....................Please make this serie in Turkish Subtitle.......
This can also be demonstrated in computer software. Just give a computer all the characters needed to express in a computer language and ask it to randomly arrange them to make a simple "hello world" program and see what happens. Or alternatively, try taking out some characters from a pre-written computer program and see what happens (mutation) to the program, or indeed even any data it's trying to process.
True that will help model evolution based on random concept. I doubt it is random. Another example: the chances of assembling components of the pc or tv by random people is unlikely to succeed. I sense there is self-evolution at DNA level...deep mystery
Computer software is designed by a human.
The random bumpings of particles? I don't think so.
After a very long time
An Amazing VideO ❤....
Awesome
Great information but it will take over a billion years to complete the study of entire human body. Thanks for the knowledge
The problem is that all people (including scientists) just take it for granted that all this complexity, although it has the appearance of design, somehow 'evolved', without ever questioning the intrinsic impossibility of such a non-starter of a naturalistic mechanism (random mutations, etc.).
The intrinsic impossibility of organisms evolving? Sorry, but scientists have demonstrated evolution occurring in laboratories, and have observed its effects in natural environments. On the other hand, what evidence do you have for intelligent design? Just because these organisms and biological structures are highly complex, that does not mean that they need a designer.
And it can also be demonstrated in computer software. Just give a computer all the characters needed to express in a computer language and ask it to randomly arrange them to make a simple "hello world" program and see what happens. Or alternatively, try taking out some characters from a pre-written computer program and see what happens (mutation) to the program, or indeed even any data it's trying to process.
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 What do you specifically refer to with "scientists have demonstrated evolution occurring in laboratories?
@@thecloudtherapistindividuals don’t evolve, populations do. This is a bad analogy
@@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440 There's really one important question underlying this discussion. If there was a God/Creator and they had a design and purpose for us to live by, would you want to know?
As for the evidence of a Creator statement, I find it shockingly obvious. If I came across a building in the middle of a field, I would never assume it built itself. It demonstrates all by itself that there was a designer and builder. How much more complex is the world and the living creatures in it?
Professor, I would like to ask:
Is the formation of a living body from the information contained in the DNA more similar to the production of music in a music box - meaning that once someone wrote the score on the metal cylinder, then the music comes without further intervention provided the cylinder rotates - or is it more similar to when a musical score has to be read by someone capable of reading the musical notes and playing them on a instrument (in wich case, if we don't see the musician, we can only see a correlation between the score and the music that is produced)?
Than you in advance.
The Word Became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14
This is an awesome video, loved it.
Marvellous! This kind of content let me perceive more clearly God!
The Creator is the only one who can put the "life force" into any creature. Once a creature dies, even though it has all the necessary things for existing. It ceases to exist. So it is much more than all the information that it contains. What is this "life force" that is behind it all, that puts this into motion???
I loved ❤️🔥
Excellent explanation, beautiful graphics.....glory to our Creator!
This was awesome 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Very interesting.
God is Great... thank you Dr. Behe

Well most bones contain marrow and the marrow is the place were most blood cells are produced yes.
Information, information, information.
Evolutionary biology is the only branch of science that affirms that programs (information) can exist without a programmer.
Great job sir.
Folks who think life developed by random chance have an unsupported, unverifiable faith - a faith in nothingness. I feel sorry for them. Furthermore, consider this. In my graduate school days, I used an IBM mainframe for my statistical calculations. Even if I designed my program properly, the program would not work - or work as intended - or work accurately - if I misstyped one stroke on the Hollerith cards, or if I arranged even one of the Hollerith cards incorrectly. Life, even that of an amoeba, is far more complex than any of the regression analyses programs I ran. My faith in a Programmer is clearly documented and proven!
Well DNA doesn’t work like computer code at all, so there’s that. And evolution and many areas of origin of life are backed up by observations
I also feel sorry for them because it demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of the model of the development of life.
Femur bone is a perpetual miracle.
Of all the questions that egolutionists cannot answer, by far the most compelling is that of “where did the information come from?” Of course their answer will always be “from random chance,” which is absolutely absurd.
They just say, "Given billions of years, anything can happen", then walk away as if they had made a valid point. It takes more faith to believe that than in a higher power.
Why is that absurd, when we have observed the power of random mutations? Why does that take away your sense of agency?
@@ronaldmorgan7632It did occur that way. The evidence points towards naturalistic processes of increasing complexity, with little evidence for supernatural phenomena.
Remember now all this happened just by random chance. Riiiight.
And what makes an intelligent designer more practical? Evolution has been used to solve many problems and has been proven countless of times.
How exactly was it proved?
The primordial soup model and assembly theory failed to prove origin of life through evolution. Researchers now know that in order for life to have come into being you need a controlled environment with different conditions than a probiotic earth. Homology does not prove evolution as stated in a publication made by the National Center for Science. That's why the evolution theory went to the D.N.A. as a line of evidence instead of homology. But what was the results of repeated expirements. Experiments should be able to construct a consistent familiy branch tree comparing genes from different species but thats far from the case. By repeated expirements scientists dont get the right ancestory as a matter of fact, if you compare genes from different species you dont get the correct ancestry that proves evolution but instead you get chimps, cats and whales in the primate group, frogs, birds and fish seem to have the same ancestor group and this does not help evolution at all. Molecular evidence does not support evolution. Besides the fossil records, rock layers, irreducibly complex organisms, fossilized species found alive recently that didnt show signs of macroevolution and microevolution is often confused with adaptation . Theres plenty of evidence that disproves evolution and it's timeline.
The heavens...and arguably more so, the human body, truly do declare the glory of the Creator & Sustainer God revealed in the Bible. Great video!
Why youtube algorithm doesn't like this channel
Because its intendend and effective audience is small in comparison to the general population, thus less worthy (from a monetary standpoint) to push in front.

Wonderful Design

@@Dunger974actually the time for an emrgence of an oragn in the body mathematically may equals the age of the unvirse
How should creationists understand and respond to the evolutionist idea of endogenous retroviruses in the DNA genome?
Information needed by our immune system. The programmer put it there.
"ERV similarities show us obvious evidence of common design among creatures, not common ancestry. " The evolutionary erv argument is not conclusive.
If there is non-functional bits of genetic material (remember until recently we thought than 98% of the human genome was non-functional) which are common between different organisms that would indeed point to a common decent.
The question of where the information comes from or how you get complex, interdependent systems in the first place is separate I think.
@@Seratan144 There is lots of stuff that point to a common designer in nature, the erv in our genome not being a good one though!
They should respond by not being creationists anymore.

Origin of life from none life chemistry is making major breakthroughs. This video is just God of the Gaps reasoning. Origin of life will be figured out one day pushing that God further out of the scene.
If the process is discovered it's shows the greatness of god because no human today can create any simple life yet you want to convince your self that randomness created life
@@killerbee6484God of the gaps is to prove the existence of deity. If gap gets filled, then no God. So, theists are using same principal of atheism.

There are two types of researchers, there are those researchers that honestly want to research all the data from reliable sources to learn and to educate, without any bias whatsoever, only factual information from real evidence for the purpose of educational knowledge and advancement of mankind. And then there are those researchers that are trying to defend or support a particular agenda, such as politics, religion, or conspiracy theories of sorts. And will distort, rearrange, or misinterpret information to fit their agenda.
What you believe is what you receive. This is observed in nueroscience that your perception helps to create your reality, being that our perceptions are the first filter we experience and interpret life through.

So he is not happy about comparing organelles to machines. What do you think about his claims?
