For those that may want to investigate this topic further, Derek Mathias has a good list of references here: www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-in-2020-the-scientists-still-believe-that-abiogenesis-is-possible Also as Claire Jordan points out in the same forum: Consider that in only 30 years, scientists have been able to show that stable lipid bubbles can form spontaneously, DNA placed in these bubbles can self replicate successfully, the components of RNA and metabolic processes can be created in a lab by reacting raw chemicals in the lab, although we haven’t got them to click together yet. This is only in the last 30 years in a handful of labs, using glorified test tubes. Nature, on the other hand, had hundreds of millions of years and a whole planet with billions upon billions of chemistry experiments going on all over the place. I acknowledge that this process has not been figured out completely, nor demonstrated satisfactorily, but what has been done in only 30 years has powerfully demonstrated its plausibility.

“One step closer!”People say that the Bible can’t be tested, but on the contrary, it can be.Hey I like the fact that we can converse about opinions ,truths and possibilities!It shows what great character you have. The Bible is clearly unlike any other document in history. Every claim it makes about science is not only true but crucial for filling in the blanks of our understanding about the origin of the universe, the earth, fossils, life, and human beings. The more we study and learn about the world, the more we come to appreciate the Bible’s flawless, supernatural character. Indeed, this is one way the Bible’s authenticity can be tested. Christ Himself, the Word of God who is the author of all Scripture, asserted that we should be able to believe everything He says about earthly things (John 3:12). Over the centuries the Bible has been rigorously tested for scientific accuracy, and it has never failed. Not only is God’s Word always true; it has proven to be the key to understanding God’s world today!

Jay Just no. The Bible is not metaphysical: even the early Christians were aware of this. I am a Christian but I'm not daft enough to use scripture for a basis of physical, empirical reality. The view you're putting forth is akin to that of scholasticism: that's right, the dogmatic school of philosophy that kept Europe in the dark ages whilst the Muslims were busy doing all the science. Science has nothing to do with religion. Please, think outside the box and don't confine your mind to your supposedly flat Earth.

Dewy When people say I’m a Christian, I always wonder is that true???Real Christians know that when God created the heavens and the earth, that literally means everything!So what’s all in the universe and earth, everything right?? Here, let me give you Bible ASTRONOMY: The Bible claims the universe had a beginning. Philosophers and scientists rejected that claim for over two thousand years, but now astronomers believe the universe had a beginning, the so-called big bang (though with a very different time frame). ANTHROPOLOGY: The Bible claims that all humans are “one blood” descended from one man and one woman (Acts 17:26; 1 Corinthians 15:45; Genesis 3:20). Some nineteenth-century biologists argued that different races descended from lower animals, but today genetics has verified that there is only one human race. BIOLOGY: The Bible claims that God created animals “after their kind.” Nineteenth-century biologists argued that animals evolved from other, very different animals, but today biology confirms that creatures reproduce within their own kind. GEOLOGY: The Bible claims that God destroyed the earth and the creatures inhabiting it in the worldwide Flood. Nineteenth-century geologists argued that rock layers and the fossils found in them were formed as sediments were deposited slowly, but today geology confirms that many rock layers were deposited catastrophically, burying fossils within only minutes or hours. So if the Bible wins hands down in every earthly thing we can test, why don’t people trust what it says? The issue is not the truth of Scripture, but vain reasoning and “willful ignorance” (Romans 1:21; 2 Peter 3:5). Science in the Bible The Bible offers many specific examples of amazingly accurate science, and science has uncovered many amazing evidences that the universe and earth are young, as the Bible describes. Astronomy Stars are innumerable (Genesis 22:17; Jeremiah 33:22) Stars differ in glory (1 Corinthians 15:41) Stars follow a predictable pattern (Jeremiah 31:35) Earth is round, not flat (Isaiah 40:22; Psalm 103:12) Earth hangs on nothing (not built on pillars) (Job 26:7) Scientific evidence of a young universe: 1) Spiral galaxies 2) “Missing” supernova remnants 3) Short-lived comets 4) Moon moving away from Earth Geology Water cycle (Ecclesiastes 1:7; Isaiah 55:10) Sea currents (Psalm 8:8) “Fountains of the deep broken up” (Genesis 7:11) Scientific evidence of a young earth: 1) Continents erode too fast 2) Too much mud on the sea floor 3) Too much sodium in the ocean 4) Too rapid decay of earth’s magnetic field Biology.

Pisstake Lunatic???Don’t toot your own horn just yet. When the single cell evolved over millions of years ha ha ha.That is what you are taught and believe as an evolutionist right?? Let me reteach you the right way: Can a single cell isolated from a multicellular body live independently? The answer is a Big NO! Let's understand this with an example, say I isolate one of my body cells. Most cells of our body don't phagocytise large food particles. They are adapted to absorb digested food. They directly take in biomolecules, like glucose. So, if won't survive in outside world, unless in a special culture medium. The true definition of Multicellularity is: A body that has more than one cell and the cells cannot survive on isolation. Looking at Cell Functions Cells come in many sizes All cells have a purpose. If they don't do anything productive, they are not needed anymore.A cell's purpose is much more important than acting as small organizational pieces. They had their purpose long before they started working together in groups and building more advanced organisms. When alone, a cell's main purpose is to survive. Even if you were a single cell, you would have a purpose. You would have to survive. You would be moving around (probably in a liquid) and just trying to stay alive. You would have all of your pieces inside of you. If you were missing a piece you needed to survive, you would die. Scientists call those pieces organelles. Organelles are groups of complex molecules that help a cell survive. In conclusion, the evolutions viewpoint is the breeding ground for real lunatics!To much Zombie and Hunger Games movies.....

RobertRamirez4965 said in his OP that "there are nine essential amino acids required for life". That's wrong. But I wanted to make sure what he meant, so I asked for clarification, and he replied, "We as humans need about 20 amino acids for life, but 9 are considered essential and necessary for life." Robert doesn't seem to understand that either. In general, all life needs the same 20 amino acids (there are exceptions), but some organisms cannot synthesize all 20 so they have to get the ones they can't synthesize by consuming a source that contains them. Those are the essential amino acids: the ones the species cannot synthesize for itself and must obtain in its diet. What Robert said in his OP is wrong. It is true for humans (and most other mammals), but not for most reptiles or fish; and most bacteria don't have any essential amino acids, because they can synthesize all of the amino acids they need. And Robert is all over the place, ranting like a loon. The video is about the origin of life, and he thinks he is talking about the origin of life, but he talks essential amino acids for humans, and eukaryotic cells. That makes no sense at all.

@@MyPieDied7-6-47 I think it's important to know how science really works - we don't scientifically prove anything - we scientifically disprove things and leave what we cannot disprove. We aren't attacking beliefs, we are critical of everything, especially ourselves (because if I don't rip all the holes in my own argument, then someone else will - and they get credit for it; but doing it yourself (i.e. stating the limitations of your findings in the conclusion of your paper, stating the limitations of your equipment/technique, reviewing and reflecting on past experiments and papers) will get you big credit - and if you do ever prove something that was previously unknown, congrats! That's a discovery and is what science is all about! The reason we are hard to shake of our ideas is because the ideas we hold are backed up by hundreds of years of research into nature, our interpretations will change with time and different truths may be apparent to different people, but science deals with understanding above all else - its a concerted effort to understand the universe (it's a very messy place, so we've all had to specialise - but that is why communication is important - arguably understanding of communication is also a science that could be perfected by social scientists and should be practiced by all). The only issues I have with religion is that while scientists from around the world can agree on their findings that bring us closer to practical nuclear fusion, religions across the world can't agree on how to read the same book... In Europe we spent over 1000 years worshipping the bible and all we got out of it was a slightly different horse saddle and a lot of churches... 100 years of science? Well in 1900 there was no powered flight, most infections meant death, the moon shot was an impossible fever dream, nuclear power was 'impossible' even to the scientists discovering the potential of nuclear science... The internet, the International Space Station, the smartphone in your pocket right now came about over a period barely longer than a single human lifetime - and the number of scientists working on the problems we see in the world have grown massively since then. Given another generation of hard science with more resources, technologies to build upon, researchers looking in every corner and checking every link...

I think the explanation is quite simple. A process that seems impossible, becomes possible given enough tries and times to make it happen. I actually find it quite satisfying. As it is actually quite a good explanation for what we should expect to find in the galaxy in terms of life. We would find lot's of failures at the attempt at this process, but very few successes. If any. Even if there was only one success per galaxy of our size. It would still result in so many civilizations out there. The reason why we don't see these civilizations is because there is no need to ever travel outside your galaxy. This to me is a satisfying answer to life and why we will never find it.

The Chicken and Egg question is easier to answer - we do know that the environment changes a life form during its own life. This is why identical twins become less identical during their lifetimes. These changes are then passed to the offspring during fertilisation. With sperm and eggs, the impacts that changed both the father and mother during their lives impact the offspring. With mammals where the mother directly affects the embryo, the current environment directly impacts the embryo development itself. So it is pretty much both the Chicken and Egg together.

"Science" doesn't say anything. "Scien *_tists"_* (people with minds and opinions) say things. Religions say things - way too many things. Religion must be narrowed down with reason, just as the *_interpretation_* of scientific evidence must be narrowed down with reason. There are many conflicting religious ideas and there are many conflicting scientific interpretations. Many religious people consider atheism to be much like a religion. You have no evidence. It's just your opinion. The fact that some others agree with you does not validate your opinion - certainly not in any _scientific sense._ Your cutesy little representations of "science" and "religion" are incredibly naïve and really rather stupid. You don't seem to think very much. You simply vomit out whatever has been spoon-fed to you.

The "improbable chance" argument often used to describe the origin of life is overly simplistic. It ignores the correlation between sequential biological events, which is crucial for understanding how life could arise from non-living matter. Instead of viewing these events as independent, we should consider them as interconnected steps where the occurrence of one event increases the likelihood of subsequent ones. This is where Bayesian updating becomes useful-it adjusts the probabilities of these steps based on prior occurrences, showing that each step can make the next more (or potentially much more) probable, rather than all steps being isolated and equally unlikely.

Hamma Lammadingdong you ever notice that not one of the prominent figures in science constantly are in videos but you never see them making videos with false click bait claims like this one? You only see aspiring subpar biologist (many times, with a British accent in order to really dupe you into thinking they are smart) make videos with titles like this. I concede the fact that most scientist rely on the assumption that abiogenesis must be true since most are materialist with no other option, but you NEVER see them feigning to explain how it happened. In fact, it’s is so impossible for like to arisen this way that many scientist have entertained other weird theories such as the panspermia which suggest that alien life forms first seeded life here which still doesn’t answer the question of how life started. There are many other theories out there such as “maybe we are part of a computer simulation” and “maybe we don’t exist at all.” The real scientist know this is impossible because there is so much that has to be present in order for a life form to function. However, you are free to have faith in whatever you want to, but just don’t blindly say “duh, it’s science” without understanding it’s not. It takes a lot of faith in order to believe a functioning cell can arise from non living material. What’s funny is, not only do materialist don’t know how life started and run from that topic (except for nobodies like this guy) but they don’t even know what life actually is or what’s the mechanism for it.

Ya, I mean, if it was intelligent design, we would have to figure out where the intelligent designer came from. Any being, intelligent enough to design the first life, would probably be more complex than the first life was. So, I don’t see how intelligent design is a better explanation than saying we don’t know the answer, yet. And, the same goes for ‘where did the universe come from?’ Nobody knows where God came from, or how he created the universe so, I don’t think it’s any better an explanation than saying we don’t know, yet.

Apologies in advance if this comment has already been made, there is another line of ideas on how to arrive at of chemical evolution or abiogenesis. There are very interesting ideas into what are the simplest and most common metabolic processes in a cell, based on the plausible assumption that these can provide more specific clues into how abiogenesis came about. In particular the reverse Krebs cycle is pinpointed, as, I hope I'm remembering this properly, it is an auto assembling feature of the key molecules involved, and doesn't require catalysts or enzymes to occur. From this point, it is plausible to retrace the steps that may likely have been required to arrive at this point, providing a pathway to guide thought and research on the process of abiogenesis. It is spoken of as an evolution of molecules, until it reaches a point where it become an evolution of the biological molecules involved in this pathway.

As a theist or as an atheist? Lol

"The driving force for chemical evolution ... is entropy ... in the presence of [energy] any group of molecules will restructure themselves to dissipate heat." ... to me that is a profound and almost eureka-like moment. It is saying that Physics is describing another 'force' if you will, that is *emergent* within bio-organic-chemistry that *drives* the tendency toward ever more increasing *complexity* . Could not that chemical evolution also carry this underlying *impulse* up and into biological evolution, and thereby set that up as well on such a high hill of potential ? I mean, this is like I have always intuitively felt ... that the universe wants to find itself *made* in ever more sophisticated forms. ... You can see that expressed even in the spectrum from particulate to galactic matter. I absolutely love this entire concept, and hope the science discovers and confirms more ! I might also point out that the 30 years you are describing, came about after I did my first 'college' in my youth including physics and chemistry, and it seems that after the decade after I left ... science has discovered so much more in the following three decades than I could have ever imagined ! Professor Ash: I would like to see a video on what pieces or organelles of the cell can be retro-hypothesized back to what scientists think might be any early working prototype of a living cell. I'm aware that cellular machinery, structure, and function are so astoundingly complex, that a cell is almost like a 'factory planet' unto itself. That was probably also a "very large hill." So if there are any scientific discoveries or conjectures out there on much simpler prototypical life, I would love to have you describe these for us ... as you do *so* well.

So well explained! O finally understood something about the origin of life.

Amazing video, I learned so much. I summarised what I learned here, plus some extra research of my own using the things you showed as a guide. Abiogenesis theory describes the naturalistic origin of life on Earth from simple chemical substances, thought to have occurred in the late Hadean eon (before 3.5 billion years ago). Astrochemistry: molecules relevant to organic chemistry are ubiquitous in the Solar System - Water, ammonia, methane and hydrogen were present on the Hadean Earth. These can form racemic amino acids in the presence of electrical energy (lightning), as shown in the Miller-Urey experiment (1952). The experiment has been criticised for not being an accurate reflection of early Earth conditions however, and it is now thought that the primary energy source was solar UV radiation or heat from hydrothermal vents. - Panspermia hypothesis: amino acids with slight enantiomeric excess have been found on meteorites, which may have been delivered to Earth during the late heavy bombardment. - The cause of this enantiomeric excess is not well understood - one theory is selective photolysis by circularly polarised synchrotron radiation from pulsars in deep space. Prebiotic Chemistry: formation of biomolecules and organic matter from inorganic matter - Hydrothermal vents release chemicals as well as providing heat energy, making reactions more feasible. - Wohler’s urea synthesis (1828) from inorganic salts showed there is nothing ‘special’ about organic matter. - Mineral guided catalysis: minerals, such as borates, can stabilise sugars. Mineral-rich tidal pools could have been sites of heterogeneous catalysis, where wet-dry cycling can lead to autocatalytic cycles which introduce a kind of prebiotic selection. This is the ‘hot spring model’ in the primordial ‘soup’. Macromolecule Assembly - Lipid assembly: carbon monoxide and hydrogen can form lipids in the presence of mineral catalysts. However, lipids are destabilised by aqueous ions, which must have been present for other biomolecules to form. Chelation by amino acids has been shown to re-stabilise lipids and their bilayers. - Protein assembly: proteins form from amino acids in water despite being energetically unfavourable, due to either chemical activation by minerals, or absorption into the hydrophobic regions of lipid micelles. - RNA world hypothesis: Nucleotides polymerise on hot clays to form RNA. RNA acted both as a genetic code as well as an autocatalyst (ribozymes), allowing it to self-replicate while carrying out specific functions. Ribozymes were replaced by enzymes later in the evolutionary process. - Autocatalytic cycle: a self-sustaining set of reactions in which the products catalyse the formation of itself, as well as other reactions in the cycle. This permits self-replication and ‘chemical evolution’. Chemical evolution is thermodynamically favourable in these cases since the molecules are collectively able to dissipate energy gradients imposed upon them into heat, maximising net entropy. - Homochirality: could have occurred at the polymer level (chiral induced spin selectivity) or at the monomer level (asymmetric catalysis). Selection amplified differences in e.e. over time. Protocell Formation and its Subsequent Evolution - Biomolecules can be encapsulated in a lipid bilayer, which forms spontaneously. This would have been an extremely primitive cell (a protocell), and may or may not be considered life. It is not yet clear how metabolism arises in this process: this seems to be the only remaining 'black box' in OoL research. - A protocell forms a prokaryotic cell over time by gradual specialisation and evolution. This represents the first sign of something considered life today. - Endosymbiotic theory: a prokaryote ‘absorbed’ a small aerobic bacterium without consuming it. The bacterium became the cell’s mitochondria, forming the first eukaryotic cells. - Multicellular organisms arose when eukaryotic cells exchanged vesicles containing biomolecules, bringing them close together, a kind of cooperation. - Selective pressures from the environment favoured cells which could tolerate their surroundings, providing the driving force for biological evolution by natural selection. - Speciation occurred when the fitness landscape changed but organisms remain divided, leading them to take diverging evolutionary pathways, creating diversity, such as that which occured in the Cambrian explosion. This process proceeds all the way up to today, with the organisms becoming ever more specialised with each generation.

Abiogenesis only offers "hypotheses". There are still no substantive Theories of Abiogenesis. The world is still waiting for the scientific method to be successfully applied to the abiogenesis hypotheses. From Wikipedia, "In evolutionary biology, abiogenesis, or informally the origin of life (OoL),is the natural process by which life has arisen from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds. While the details of this process ARE STILL UNKNOWN, the prevailing scientific HYPOTHESIS is that the transition from non-living to living entities was not a single event [i.e. spontaneous generation]... There are several principles and HYPOTHESES for how abiogenesis COULD HAVE occurred." One of the reasons that abiogensis is merely a "hypothesis" and has not advanced to the status of being a "scientific theory", is that abiogenesis hypotheses still lack the experimental data required by the scientific method. The problem causing confusion on this topic, as well as many other subjects, is that Ideological ‘Agenda’ (using deceptively manipulated data, misinformation, and disinformation pushed with propaganda) can masquerade as "Science" in some of the most fundamental and important areas in society. Biogenesis has already passed the scientific method countless times. Abiogenesis has passed the scientific method process zero (0) times.

The Miller Urey experiment did indeed form amino acids. However, what may have been conveniently overlooked is that the amino acids formed in the Miller-Urey experiment never combined to form proteins. The simplest proteins in a living organism are approximately 150 amino acids in length, and must be in the correct sequence and correct shape. Additionally, this also does not account for the myriad of proteins in a single cell organism. Color me skeptical that life happened by pure chance.

4 ай бұрын

​@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep kind of. I'm no where near an expert on this but here's my limited explanation on this. The dead yeast cell has about 3 courses of events that could happen. 1. It is dead. When cells die they don't fall as corpses the way multicellular life does. They either are killed getting torn apart or blow themselves apart. Obviously the cell can't be eaten in this situation so I'll use a virus, and protein reactions (based on compliment systems) and apoptosis (cell self destruct) for some examples. A) virus. In this scenario a virus infects the yeast cell. Basically the yeast is punctured and the virus forces its genetic material into the yeast cell. The yeast cell's organelles are now forced to stop making necessary proteins and instead start building new viruses. These will later burst out of the yeast cell. In this situation the cell would be too far gone. It's internal systems hijacked and it's structures too damaged. B) protein death. This is based on the immune response in blood called compliment proteins. A series of proteins that rip "massive" holes into invasive cells. Here the insides if the cell are lost and the outer structure is compromised. C) apoptosis. This is a self destruction of the cell. Here it literally blows itself apart. In all of these examples the body gets far too damaged for this to be even a question. 2. Anatanasis. This is not exactly a full resurrection but is similar to the temporary death multicellular life can enter. Here a cell can be fully shut down and be both practically and seemingly dead, just to resume activity moments later. Not quite resurrection but this is actually a natural process in some cells! 3. Cells can be reanimated. I don't know the full details but an experiment from Yale last year had some pig cells be reanimated. But the project used a synthetic blood. So I'm not sure this was done to 1 cell or a full structure. If it was a full structure the same process that made man made horrors within comprehension like the living meat grape and meat leaf made by the action lab (I think) would probably be similar. Conclusion. The simplest answer is no. A dead cell is dead. Some cells can enter a dead state and return to an active state. Some cells can be reanimated using additional resources. And different cells can use the same scaffolding. Please do your own research though as this is basically just 15 minutes of googling an remembering things poorly so im very likeky to have left out mass details and even have been quite incorrect. If you do some research and feel like it. I'd love some corrections or criticism. Have a good day.

Good job! I watched a presentation for a PhD work about abiogenesis years ago. It was very simple and it made a lot of sense (to me at least). The way that the particles would penetrate and organize themselfs inside the 'buble' it was dictated by natural laws like pressure diferencial, osmosis, positiv/negativ charged particles, etc.. So the main point was that the 'buble' almost trapped the particles and once inside they would organize into small stable structures by 'chemestry rules'. And from time to time more 'bubles' would fusion into one bigger 'buble' with bigger structures inside. It was almost a symbiotic relation between the shell and the structures inside the 'buble'.. the particles needed a shell in order to 'organize' into much bigger structures (cause of the protection of the shell) and the 'bubles' with more particles inside were more stable, so it was almost like natural selection aplied to non living things if I recall corectly. The bigger structures (even ADN/ARN) could only form inside of a shell. I've searched it a long time ago but I couldn't find it, it just dissapeared... :/

One of the great scientists of all history, Louis Pasteur, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, showed through experiments that seem simple today, that life only comes from life. Until then people believed that abiogenesis happens all the time, although it was called spontaneous generation, or among common people “shit makes flies”. Pasteur’s discovery had and still has huge practical implications, particularly in health care. Darwin’s theory and its modern updates and the necessary theory of abiogenesis have had mainly philosophical implications, some of them ugly ones, like eugenics which was very acceptable among scientists until Adolf Hitler put it in practice in large scale. To affirm that what according to all experience and experiments cannot happen today, somehow magically took place in a distant past is not science, it is theorizing. Miller’s and Urey’s experiment did not produce life. Besides those experiments are not representative for a random surge of life, since they were prepared and carried out by intelligent persons. In the following almost 70 years since then no evidence of abiogenesis has been produced or observed. The theory of abiogenesis does not provide evidence against intelligence as source of life. It only proves that there are people who do not want to believe in such intelligent origin of life.

Amusing reading the butt hurt comments from halfwit creationists. Carry on as you all sound so knowledgeable!

Clearly lots of possibilities and maybe. One thing is clear the more we study life the more we understand just how fantastically complex it is. To compare a watch or a jumbo jet or a work of Shakespeare to a living cell goes to show just how ludicrous the idea of life appearing spontaneously is.

What creationists avoid like the plague is talking about any specifics like how/when/where the alleged creator caused any change in this universe... because they have no evidence and don't know anything about it or what it did. They haven't the slightest clue what "creation" entails or when, where and how it happened. Intelligent design has no process, no mechanism of change, no validated model, and no empirical scientific substance whatsoever. ID is 100% pure philosophy of mind, an extension of religion that seeks to distance itself from all of the failures of religion to explain what science has explained. "ID is definitely not a science ... it is a philosophy ... closer to aesthetics [i.e. beauty and art]" "Science involves a process, [a mechanism] or procedure, a way of understanding how things work" "ID doesn't address the question of how things work" ----Dr. Imad ad-Dean Ahmad (creationist) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaeeyqiEiaS9nM4.html Information in DNA is not scientific evidence because anything can be used or labeled as information. Labeling something as information doesn't automatically transfer the cause or origins to a mind. Inference to intelligence from complexity is not scientific evidence, because complexity is not measurable or objectively quantifiable; it is assessed subjectively. Also, the most important part, the alleged designer, hasn't manifested "materially" one single time in this universe, at least in the presence of humans under a controlled scientific experiment or direct repeatable observation. Many people have claimed such events but none have been confirmed, and many have turned out to be natural, psychological phenomenon.

​@@matthew8720 The comment is false; philosophical gaps to not and will never affect anything in science that consists of many lines of evidence and billions of other supporting facts. Gaps in one area of science do not reduce the power, validity, or correctness of an explanation in another area. This statement: "figuring out how these chemicals stayed out of equilibrium is a problem proponents of abiogenesis" is a type of gap argument/fallacy, an appeal to ignorance or hole in knowledge, which is philosophical. It says something about you and your mind, not about the way nature works. Philosophical gaps are not, and have never been a problem for science that says how known, demonstrated things work. Darius' comment is equivalent to saying "in the year 1700, physics had not yet figured out how the sun produces energy [therefore the sun-god-done-it]". It's equivalent to saying "in the year 1930, biology had not yet discovered the nitty-gritty details of genetic transfer (DNA) therefore god-done-it". It's equivalent to saying "in the year 1820, physics had not yet discovered what light is made of and how it propagates, therefore the god-of-light-done-it". It's equivalent to saying "in the year 5000BC, no science had figured out how nearly everything works, therefore god did almost everything". It's equivalent to saying "in the year X, science had not yet figured out Y [therefore the Y-god-done-it]", which is a universal truth that you can apply to anything at almost any time, but has no effect on what you do know. It is a "stupid" argument, and totally fallacious to appeal to a gap in knowledge, and claim a lack of knowledge says something about the universe external to your mind. That is simply false. Lack of details of abiogenesis really don't matter to knowing, with good certainty, what the ultimate cause of life came down to chemical, physical processes, since all known living [and non-living] processes, including those *keeping you alive right now,* are chemical, physical processes. Attributing origins to some other completely different, undemosntrated cause is invalid in every way possible. "ID is equally if not more ... fallacious?" There is nothing unscientific or fallacious about saying known, demonstrated, mechanisms of chemistry and physics in some unknown ordering and with unknown initial conditions are mathematically *guaranteed* to be more likely the cause of life or anything else in this universe, than any other hypothesis in involving things, entities or mechanisms that are not yet proven to exist or cause change, unobserved, unknown, undemsontrated, and more complex (and therefore have more assumptions, so are less likely to be true). It's an undisputable, direct application of the scientific method, which is optimal at accuracy and minimizing bias. The parsimony principle or Occam's razor is the guiding principle here. ID is totally fallacious and unscientific. ANY explanation that involves demonstrated mechanisms that use already proven to exist processes is more likely to be true that an explanation depending on undemonstrated, un-verified, un-tested, unobserved, ultra-complex (conscious/intelligent) entities. What exactly it did, when, where and how, creationists can't say. They have no process, no mechanism, no model, no predictions, and no empirical substance. "I don't know anything about chemistry." The important thing to know relevant to this argument is that chemistry (and physics) is: 1) not random 2) specifies outcomes based on prior conditions, surrounding environment, and a set of rules, laws, uniformities, etc, that determine or specify the outcome. [1] 3) The outcome, change or result does not depend on complexity or using something as information (which can be done for anything), it depends only on #2. [1] Sometimes this outcome is so critically dependent on starting conditions you can get a vastly different outcome with the tiniest change. This is deterministic chaos, or sensitive dependence on initial conditions, and the reason the "information" that biologists call DNA, is "highly specified". Natural laws did the specifying with a sensitive dependence on starting conditions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

Love your channel. Very warm and kind voice and understandable.

@StarLander6 said, "the Gibbs equation ..." Doesn't mean jack if the conditions of interest aren't those used in the calculation. Calculations are done for specific conditions, usually "typical" or standard conditions. Those are the conditions for which the results apply. For abiogenesis, the conditions of interest can be very different: for example, alkaline hydrothermal vents have huge pH gradients that can drive reactions forward that "the Gibbs equation" say are impossible under "typical" conditions. The "Gibbs equation" that is calculated under specific constant conditions also doesn't mean a thing if: a) reactants become more concentrated (as can occur during wet-dry cycles, and at air-water interfaces) b) products are removed (as can occur if water washes away products more readily than reactants) c) temperature changes (as can occur during freeze-thaw cycles) d) pH changes (as occurs at alkaline hydrothermal vents) e) an input of energy from the surrounding occurs (as can occur when UV light begins impinging upon shallow water in the morning)

Life from established life (highly intelligent beings create life) This though just pushes the question back a step. Out of these, most people believe spontaneous generation is impossible. Life from life means there has always been a life which is totally unsupported. So that leaves us with abiogenesis.

A meteorite analyzed in the study at its collection site in Antarctica. Credit: Antarctic Search for Meteorites program, Case Western Reserve University In the study, scientists with the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., analyzed samples from fourteen carbon-rich meteorites with minerals that indicated they had experienced high temperatures - in some cases, over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. They found amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, used by life to speed up chemical reactions and build structures like hair, skin, and nails. Previously, the Goddard team and other researchers have found amino acids in carbon-rich meteorites with mineralogy that revealed the amino acids were created by a relatively low-temperature process involving water, aldehyde and ketone compounds, ammonia, and cyanide called "Strecker-cyanohydrin synthesis." Also, I read not long ago how scientists have recently discovered complex organic compounds in interstellar dust clouds, and some that are thought to have been vital to the formation of life on early earth. So as you can see the ingredients for life are common enough in the universe, and found in space. If I had to guess your problem with this I'd say that you were a theist who has already ruled out the possibility of life arising by any other means than a God snapping his fingers, but if this is the case you should probably take the bible more figuratively seeing as it is not a book that accurately depicts reality. The scientific method is a process that gets us the closest to the truth of our reality, and while a process like abiogenesis is largely based on speculation right now, the science being done only continues to strengthen the possibility of it having happened rather than ruling it out.

Nor little green men, aliens had absolutely nothing to do with it, nor "mother nature" or "the blind watch-maker." Not even little green watch-makers riding water-laden asteroids from Mars. Like water, there are organic compounds all over, you've gone from the necessary and predictable presence of "building blocks" in the universe to "life" on a bridge of rank conjecture, speculation and make believe with pithy, pseudo-religious statements like, "it must have happened, after all, here we are." Sounds like something else that can be, and has been, tested in a controlled setting. What were the results? Sounds almost plausible, hell, sounds like something you can both observe and demonstrate, but you can't. Because evolution by natural selection ISN'T "demonstrable" it's entirely and conveniently unverifiable. But worse, attempts at verification and the natural record itself refute gradual evolution. And they refute it more strongly over time. Buy hey, if you believe it, more power to you.

WOW WOW WOW...how incredibly intensively insightfully interesting.

So a protein - some three hundred amino acids long can self assemble, fold itself like an origami bird, then fly away and find hundreds of other proteins and thousands of other other perfected processes that happen to have just done the same thing - then they wrap themselves all together in a highly intricate and regulatory cell membrane that self assembled - and then all act as one and happen to find instructions to identically replicate itself. Makes perfect sense.

The smallest human protein is 44 amino acids smallest functional polypeptide is glutathione with only three amino acids nothing you said has any correlation on how any of it works

Yes, that, and the Catholic Church, according to Carl Sagan in Cosmos held us back for nearly 1,000 years, with their love of whole numbers and Pythagorean geometry, not to mention torture, corruption, intolerance, and racism.

Beautiful presentation. Great explanation. Target group is not for complete neophytes. Really like your style. You actually reference the study and who did the study and not only use the bland expression 'Scientists'. Thank you. Happily subscribing. Keep up the good work!

Abiogenesis. That magic word proves life started by accident. Not even an attempt to explain how lipids formed somehow in water. Where did the carbon chain come from or the phosphate and how did they attach at the right place and show up in large numbers and identical. This is all just a story. I guess its the best they got.

Studies? Human directed experiments with incredible amounts of foreknowledge of how things work cannot create life. This is fodder for people who think they’re intelligent, but who aren’t.

Very honest and informative summary. Seems a lot of content teaching theory of abiogenesis is simplistically asserting we have the basic mechanisms elucidated. They are reacting against the 'christian science' people and losing objectivity. Scientists should never hesitate to clearly state 'we really don't know', because, ultimately that's where the authority comes from.

This was a very good video, thank you.

It’s horribly stupid

With respect, while being highly technical, this presentation essentially piles speculation upon speculation upon speculation trying to explain abiogenesis in a way which, to me, violates the tenets of Accom's Razor, which holds that the most obvious explanation for a phenomenon is likely the correct explanation. The idea that the advent of life occurred without a supervising intelligence ordaining it and guiding it is impossible rationally to accept. What is most amazing is the lengths to which some highly intelligent human beings are prepared l go to in order to eliminate the need for an intelligent creator working in the process of creation. To be sure, further scientific research is needed, but, in the meantime, Accom's Razor surely must win the day.

Applying Occam’s razor to the origin of life would favor a naturalistic explanation as it requires fewer assumptions.

This was the best explanation of biogenesis I've seen so far on KZread. Others just glance over the details. I am going to watch it again, because "the devil is in the details", they say, and it's those little details that are SO interesting and intriguing and make me want to learn more. THANKS!

It's very likely that new types of proto-life are still created today, but they can't compete with it's more evolved and specially evolved cousins in the fight for resources. They have no evolutionary advantage and thus probably go extinct almost immediately.

@@Pspersonal-bp8by I was always thinking about why only one tree of life.. I understand that root of ours isn't one cell as horizontal gene transfer, and symbiosis (chloroplast, mitochondria) made it much more complex. And maybe that's the answer before "tree of life" started there were whole forest. Afterwards your suggestion made new ones an impossibility ..

If 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen come together and make water, where did the INFORMATION needed come from? Your premise is faulty. There is no pre-designed template. A trillion trillion trillion trillion things bump into each other. Some make new things, and present new properties. Let that happen for millions and billions of years and a lot can happen.

Lipids are important but if I remember correctly they have a sort of dipole self assembly that is easier to work out, compared to protein folding.

Jim Tour said that it is impossible to create something without the proper environment. The availability of other materials must be present already to create. So, it must be created all together.
