    The science. The information. The wonders. Whether they be large structures like galaxies or microscopic ones in the cell I stand awed and humbled at how much I didn’t (and still don’t) know. And even while I wasn’t aware of these wonders they still existed, making me feel a bit foolish for such things as taking life for granted at times, having been agnostic for a couple years in my early 20’s, avidly pursuing my own selfish pursuits without any consideration for others, sometimes feeling that God was an inconvenient truth etc.. Gratitude for this video!

      Agree that the the wonders of the universe boggle the human mind and it may be beyond our intellectual capacity to unravel its mysteries, but that in no way mean that the existence of a god (or gods) is the explanation, unless “god” is simply a placeholder for “how this all works is beyond our human understanding”. We are more intelligent than a bumble bee and even a monkey, but that doesn’t mean that we have the intelligence required to understand everything. Perhaps asking a human to understand and explain the origins of life is like asking a monkey to explain how a combustion engine works. There is a physical explanation for how a combustion engine works even though that monkey doesn’t have the ability to comprehend it.

    As an engineer with over 40 years of experience in designing things and actually making them work - when I study all the sciences, I see overwhelming evidence of design by a Creator with perfect knowledge and understanding of all things, infinite intelligence, creativity and wisdom and unlimited power and ability. Life is far more sophisticated than our most advanced technology. There is no scientific basis whatsoever for the naive idea that life originated by the operation of purely natural laws.

    • @SystemsMedicine
      @SystemsMedicine 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Sabyis. Is there any scientific evidence that life originated outside of the action of physical laws? [On the other hand, amino acids form stably out in space, and occasionally reach Earth as meteorites. And some nuclei acids form in simple Urey type plasma experiments. Gold has apparently shown that a huge variety of cyclic hydrocarbons form deep in the Earth, and can thermodynamically migrate to the surface.] I see that Tour understands that abiogenesis is a tough field these days, but what would you say are compelling reasons to believe that biology, which so apparently operates via physical laws, started in some fashion beyond physical laws?

      Why do you even assume anything about it? If one do, one can just assume it to be inevitable instead. Notice, complex processes does not imply complex rules - rather the opposite is true. Also notice, simple rules underlying complex processes can be, and most often is, very hard to discover.

    I could watch this again with popcorn! My own 2 cents, as a layman: I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of any natural force (gravity, heat, etc.), that doesn't contribute to entropy. Just on that basis, I can't fathom how the complex functionality (putting it mildly) of biological life could have arisen by sheer, unconscious accident, naturally, in an environment otherwise devoid of any biological life yet.

      Top 5 Scientific Myths popularly accepted as fact:
      Myth #5. “Very occasionally monkeys hammering away at typewriters will type
      out one of Shakespeare’s sonnets.”
      Not true, not in this universe. But it is a popular assumption that the monkeys can do it, a wrong assumption that randomness can produce meaningful stable complexity. But let’s look at the numbers to see why the monkeys will always fail. I’ll take the only sonnet I know, sonnet number 18, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day …” All sonnets are 14 lines, all about the same length. This sonnet has approximately 488 letters (neglect spaces). With a typewriter or keyboard having 26 letters, the number of possible combinations is 26 to the exponential power of 488 or approximately ten to the power of 690. That is a one with 690 zeros after it. Convert the entire 10 to the 56 grams of the universe (forget working with the monkeys) into computer chips each weighing a billionth of a gram and have each chip type out a billion sonnet trials a second (or 488 billion operations per second) since the beginning of time, ten to the 18th seconds ago. The number of trials will be approximately ten to power of 92, a huge number but minuscule when compared with the 10 to power 690 possible combinations of the letters. We are off by a factor of ten to power of 600. The laws of probability confirm that the universe would have reached its heat death before getting one sonnet. We will never get a sonnet by random trials, and the most basic molecules of life are far more complex than the most intricate sonnet. As reported in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, when the world’s most influential atheist philosopher, Antony Flew, read this analysis of complexity and several analyses related to the complexity of life brought in my third book, The Hidden Face of God, and Roy Varghese’s excellent book, The Wonder of the World, he abandoned his errant belief in a Godless world and publically apologized for leading so many persons astray for the decades that his atheistic thoughts held sway.

    The first chapter of my first biology class in college was a review of the biogenesis versus abiogenesis debate. There was plenty of smirking at the abiogenesis faction for believing that mice could be generated from rotting rags and straw. Ultimately they point to Pasteur’s beef broth experiment as the nail in the coffin of abiogenesis. The last two sentences of the chapter have always stuck with me: “And thus it was conclusively proven once and for all that life does not arise from non-life. Except for one time when I did. “

    Wow, im not only impressed with the wisdom contained in this video, but also in the comment section, for a change, and it includes even educated people.
    I say " even " educated people because I've had too many debates with people who have degrees in science but don't really understand what real science is. They think because they were taught it, it must be true ( science ). They don't understand the differences between proof, evidence, and simple hypothesis. They don't see how some scientists are very bias ( including themselves ) and ignore evidences against their unproven beliefs. They think anyone who disagrees with the commonly held beliefs aren't good scientists and heaven forbid that anyone who doesn't have a degree in science shows them the logical fallacies , suppressed evidence, leaps of logic, and hypothesis presented as proven fact involved in certain fields of study.
    Education does not equal intelligence. Some educated people are too proud of what they know ( and sometimes what they know isn't even true ) and not humbled by what they do not know.
