    This was an excellent lecture.
    It reminds me of a passage in Ecclesiastes.
    Ecclesiastes 8:17 (KJV)
    "Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it."

    27:37 "aminoacids don't hook together by themselves"
    This bit is the real kicker for me
    Despite my years of reading on this subject, I always had the impression that things will hook up if they bump into each other, and the design arguments mostly revolve around the improbability of such hook-ups happening in the necessary sequence.
    The idea that nucleotides have to be *forced* to hook up is quite an eye opener.
    It's like spending hours debating whether or not pigs can fly based on weight and aerodynamics and such, and then somebody saying "You know pigs don't have wings, right?"

      @@jarrod752 Chemicals don't all respond to a similar input. Some chemicals bond under different temperatures, and you would need extreme contrasts to get the right sequence of events to build all the necessary molecules, and then to come together in one place, to order in the correct sequence without a single error (we're talking about many thousands of molecules that would just as willingly bond to the wrong thing at the wrong time indiscriminately or polymerize. And even IF you get some parts to form correctly through either human intervention or currently unknown natural processes, the cell doesn't just form complex information in DNA or with carbohydrates naturally in any sense. DNA, left to natural law would be a consistent order like ABAB or ABCABC. But no, DNA is A-symmetrical data and the problem of carbohydrates which have over a trillion ways to form indiscriminately, if one carbohydrate is wrong, the cell dies. Don't forget that the first hypothetical proto-cell has no enzymes to check itself for correct formation because it has never formed before. The cell would need to be completely formed and have all the information established before systems could be made to check and verify said information in the cell. Your comment reads of a person who has a magical perception of how science actually works. The "10 to the 79 billionth power" number for the complexity for interactomes in the cell is no joke. Scientists don't know how the first cell formed. It's untested, unverified speculation, and so far, our best technology, cleanest prepared chemicals, and smartest chemists have not managed to do more than forcibly produce individual molecular structures that are generally function-less on their own and don't resemble life. Also, you may want to check James Tour's credentials before you assume he doesn't know anything. The man is cited by more scientists in his respective field than Stephen Hawking in his respective field. He is one of the top scientific minds in modern chemistry.

      @@jarrod752 are you a synthetic chemist? Do you think you know more about these chemical reactions than Dr Tour? You are wrong. These chemicals do not "combine rather easily." Actually they break down easily and are difficult to get to join together. The peptide bond joining 2 amino acids is a reversible reaction, and the reaction tends to break down thousands to millions of times faster than they form. The only way these bonds form in living cells is because of very complex enzymes.

      I've never had the flu injection, or any other vaccines like the Covid-19 vaccination. Never have and never will take any of them. 6 years now without myself catching a cold or flu. I did contract Covid once back in 2022, but bounced back quickly from that due to partly my relatively strong immune system. That aside, many scientists are unintentionally ignorant of the exceedingly complex and specified structures around us. Dr. James Tour is both sufficiently intelligent and knowledgeable to disprove the pseudo-science theory of evolution.

    Back in my early IT days (around 1980) there was a phrase that was used often. "I understand you in principle." When communicating with another programmer/hardware tech, it was common to reach a point in their explanation of something where that statement was appropriate. Basically, it meant that you were able to follow what they were saying, in general, without being able to grasp all the finer points of the concept.

      @@Belmondo_RHif evolution has no goal then how do we even have the laws of physics? How do we have any order at all in the Universe which requires a mind to guide it and organize it? The concept of macro evolution is utterly stupid and Dr. James Tour proved it with what he explains. I’ve read some of your other comments and even though i admit, i don’t know all these complex explanations about the certain specific chemicals, i understood what he was saying about molecules not having any sort of mind at all to know what to do while the odds are extreme with the examples he gave on “millions, billions and trillions of seconds”. No matter how you try to spin this, you really can’t win these arguments because there’s no evidence on your part to support that any of this is possible without an intelligent mind organizing it and guiding it.
      No order can ever come from random blind chaos, it’s scientifically impossible.
      So your comment alone collapses in on itself because you admit that evolution has nothing to do with order and it’s all random. It’s so ironic how much people like yourself bash Christian’s for their faith yet all of your own beliefs on this are based on a much greater level of faith over something that is so difficult to prove, far more difficult than proving the existence of God.
      You can keep trying to make all the excuses you want and use fancy big words but all you’ll be showing people is nothing more than the condition of your own heart, a desire to rebel against a Holy Eternal God and a desire to disbelieve regardless of what reasoning there is to try and reason with you.

    I never thought I would ever hear of such clear concise not to mention humorous Explanation of the narcissism and flagrant lies whether intentional or not within the scientific community. This was absolutely brilliant. Praise the Lord! This should be show to every woman considering an abortion proving just how majestic and precious life really is before they decide to callously end that life for such selfish reasons.

      Victoria, this man may be a nice person or good in his field, but he projects his expertise where he has none. There are some great teachers at Rice University, Tour isn't one of them, because he can't keep his faith out of the lab. He leads evidence to conclusions instead of looking where the evidence leads. Yes, the opposite of good science.
      This video is a great example of "confident speech means nothing".
      He believes abiogenesis is under some obligation to function under his narrow understanding. Well, it isn't and creationists still lap it up -.-
      You can be a christian who is also a scientist, there are many doing great work, but if you meet a professed "christian scientist", what you get is a preacher fucking with science in God's name, it's obscene.
