    I was confused what was up with this video, because my class did a similar lab in high school around 2013. Then I did some googling and figured out that the lab we did was designed by Dr. Ratcliff, and our class was one of the first to try it. It was kind of amazing getting to do actual biology when I was only 15, though I remember the frustration of not always getting the results we were hoping to get through the lab.

Basicly one organism but made up of 100(0)s of others, so like an antcolony but all in one animal.

    I disagree with the problem of how the first DNA came into existence, it is made from proteins and you need DNA to make proteins. Mainstream science regarding evolution is all about interpreting data to fit a presupposed paradigm and rejecting anything else regardless of evidence. Lets ignore the fact a simple protein folding by chance requires a greater number than all of the molecules in the entire cosmos. Lets pretend that molecules without a mind are responsible for the most complex code ever discovered, so complex it took 2,800 scientists 13 years to map a human genome. Lets use our imaginations to explain away the fact that the human brain is the most complex object ever discovered and attribute its unbelievably complex design to dumb molecules that cannot 'think'. Lets ignore thousands of years of OBSERVATION that the source of complexity and information always leads to an intelligent agent so we can ascribe all the complexity and information we see in every living organism to dumb molecules that cannot 'think' and have no purpose or intent but managed to create the immense biological complexity we see in our world. Whilst we are at it, we can pretend that all the symbiosis between living things that is an absolute necessity within the complex ecosystem evolved at the exact same time all over the world so that life could be sustained and not suddenly disappear after billions of years of gradual imaginary change. Lets just say we got lucky and every male and female of each species evolved at the exact same time and in the exact same location so as not to pose a problem of instant extinction. Some of us do actually know why we disagree with the absurdity of Narnia evolution. If your mother believes in God, she is much wiser than you and you should desist in trying to convince her of the evolutionary lie.

    I have a very similar story growing up in a fundamentalist religion. I tried for many years to "believe" as my friends and family seemed to, but there are just so many things that must be ignored to support a religious mindset. I am talking of religion, not whether god or gods exists or not, which I have yet to make up my mind on. The one conclusion I have come to is this, "there was never nothing". The big bang was the start of our universes story but not everything. There have been countless studies on "nothingness" and most have determined that "nothingness" does not exist and possibly cannot exist. There is so much humans do not know with only our 5 senses and rudimentary equipment. The answers may be right in front of us but we lack the ability to perceive them or understand them but our curiosity will continue to drive us forward.

    I’ve dwelled on those same questions for my entire life and I think I always will. The book of John in the bible says ‘God is love, God is life and God is light’ which is a description I fundamentally agree with. I think the internal conscious world within us and the external physical world without us is God manifest, and in death our temporary individual essence or ‘soul’ returns to that eternal whole as the energy it always was. If there is an afterlife it would be in the mind of energy itself, which would be the essence of God. So I think it’s far less absurd to infer an ambivalent force created ‘something’ as an agnostic than the atheistic ‘nothing’ from nothing.

    What started the big bang? nobody knows. More data and ideas are needed. Some questions just can't be answered right now. Do we have a soul? no. We already know enough about biology to know that all of our emotions, all of our personality traits, all of our memories, everything that makes a person who they are is done by the brain. If your brain is damaged, your brain chemistry changes, or you have a brain tumor, all the things that used to be attributed to the soul can also change (depending on what parts are affected). The idea that there is some sort of metaphysical soul makes zero sense. So what happens in death? the brain stops working and decays, so it can no longer perform its function of creating a personality with memories and emotions and whatnot. Asking where a person (or their soul) goes after death is like asking where a flash drive's files go when you burn the flash drive. They don't GO anywhere, they just aren't there anymore.

    Although this research is interesting, it needs to be interpreted carefully. Unicellular does not always mean primitive. Far from being the "simple" organisms many people (including some biochemists who should know better) imagine them to be, yeasts are part of a huge group of complex fungi and appear to have become unicellular by evolving from ancient filamentous species. Therefore this experiment could simply be reactivating dormant ancestral genes, roughly analogous to breeding humans with larger appendixes or fur. It is at best a crude model for how multicellularity arose in the first place.

Of course, new organisms require new cell types with new functionality, which means there needs to be new genetic information. And once again, the critical ingredient in these experiments is applied intelligence. Still, one cannot ignore these results nor the implications for chemical evolution. As for whether scientists have proven evolution in the lab, I think not - or at least, not yet.

    This is very very very illuminating. I always figured early life started from entirely natural inorganic processes, meaning that it is potentially everywhere an inorganic process could occur. The famous Tardigrade can survive extreme climates and temperatures, enabling it's survival between planets, between planetary systems. Able to survive mass extinction, able to survive long duration without sustenance. The more I learn about life on small scales, the more it becomes obvious to me that yes, life originated here, elsewhere, and life has also come here from elsewhere, likely capable of coming from here to elsewhere too. Just not the way we think (aliens, space travel).

    Ok, so can anyone explain this to me? As I understand this experiment, it consists of following steps. 1. Take a sampe of yeast cells, and make sure some of them know how to form groups. 2. Separate groups of yeast cells, so that only group behaviour remains. 3. Make some changes to the environment so that these groups change some qualities ( form larger groups, change the thinckness of the cellular wall etc.) 4. Claim evolution. Did I miss anything? There was a reference to proto regulatory systems, but there was no explanation as to how they differ from the normal yeast behaviour. So, if yeast cell is able to remove waste products from its surroundings, then a group would do the same, but more effectively, right?

    “We can make cells from scratch in the lab reasonably easily we call them protocells” Ok full stop for misinformation there.

    So the conclusion is that all this adaptive and behavioral plasticity, in addition to directional genetic modifications in a few generations occurred through blind, non-directional "neo-Darwinian" processes? I find it impossible to believe.. it doesn't seem like we will have to wait for a new synthesis, and these processes don't seem much more neo-Lamarkist. I also draw attention to the discoveries of biologist Michael Levin's team on multicellularity and the new electrical genetic code of membranes. This has a major impact on the interpretation of these experiments.
