Iron Age weapons vs Antimicrobial resistance
On the evening of Tuesday 15 October, RSC Belgium welcomed Professor Ricardo Louro, head of the Inorganic Biochemistry and the NMR laboratory at ITQB-NOVA - an interdisciplinary research and advanced training institute of NOVA University in Lisbon, Portugal - to talk about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is an emerging concern that is threatening to burst the antibiotic bubble that has kept us largely safe from bacterial infection for nearly eight decades since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming.

    Life as I understand is an energy. The nature of which is not amenable to investigation by mere scientific reasoning, tools, methods or experimentation just like the nature of thought and the mind. The exception is some scientists who , not understanding the metaphysical e entertain the naive and beguiled notion that the world we see and its intricacies can all be explained by a naturalist world view. Evolution has contributed to understanding diversity in species but the idea that chemistry can come alive or than an amoeba can develop its own genetic material to in time become reptiles fish and Man is a fruit of pure and fantastical thinking steeped in speculation

    Chemistry cannot come alive because life is energy and we have learned in physics that energy is needed to do work. Any particles that react in chemistry need energy in the first place. Chemistry cannot be set behind energy. In the origin of life research, often scholars tend to put chemistry first. It cannot be because energy is needed for chemistry to take place. Energy must come before chemistry, and energy is life.

I suppose ideally a renewable carbon source could be turned first into a gas mixture via pyrolyses and then via this technique into a light synthetic fuel + solid carbon which then easily can be stored , removed from the carbon cycle. There is talk about letting farmers grow fast growing plants to harvest abundant biomass but it doesn't happen or rarely. Perhaps our short growing season doesn't favor that and I suddenly realize I have no idea if any plant could grow reasonable well even during our colder, darker months.

And can we say that a subset of the origin/evolution of life is the evolution/origin of more fundemental things like electrons/ quarks, etc....? My point: if we can agree that everything evlolves, and changes, then the distinction between "alive" and "dead" becomes much less meaningful....

    I'd be more interested in how complex engineering solutions like flight are solved without intelligent design and in order to believe in evolution the observations of complex arranged information has to be ignored to push a seriously flawed paradigm. Where are all the millions of fossils representing failed attempts at flight or do the gradual changes over millions of years crack it the first time, cells just realise this and go on to engineer all the bird species of the world. Engineers in aviation have to build prototypes and often require redesign due to failure, obviously the designers are highly intelligent and designing, engineering, and building an aircraft requires immense understanding of many intellectual disciplines, unless we are talking evolution and inexplicably, random lossy mutations can achieve better, more efficient, manoeuvrable, technically superior designs. I guess GOD, did create everything.

    It is inferred that DNA mutations are instrumental in making evolution work. Mutations are not proof evolution is happening. It's logical these mutations will cause trait differences or phenotype changes but there is no proof these have any evolution pertinence. So WHAT is causing all of the classic adaptations to changed environments, diets, or new threats? It's the already-in-place-to-do-adaptations epigenome present in all life. These works by gene modifications by chemical tagging...not mutations happen with these. Hence, no on-the-fly of evolution pertinence. Just the pre-ability-to-do-adaptations of epigenetics. It's epigenetic modifications that changes a caterpillar into a butterfly. If epigenetics can do this then can it give the Darwin Finches new beaks to their offspring in a FAST two generations?

You really can't have it both ways. The whole function of abiogenesis research is to follow the laws of nature to whatever conclusions they lead. OOL is a complex process that happened billions of years ago in an environment that no longer exists so it will be difficult but not necessarily impossible. The purpose of the ID hypothesis is to create a pseudo-scientific rationalization for the god-of -the-gaps for people who need scientific justification for their belief. Creationism is just faith in ancient stories which is at least more honest than ID.

      XPRIZE CARBON PARTICLE CAPTURE FORMULATED MICROCRYSTALLINE WAX WILL CAPTURE CARBON The heat loss from a smokestack can be forced into a large tank containing hot liquid microcrystalline petroleum wax. The heat will keep the wax at a molten state which facilitate the carbon to be absorbed when combined with the wax. Carbon when mixed with wax reacts like a dye. The wax-carbon amalgamation resulting into a black wax solution thereby making it impossible for the carbon to escape into the environment while in a liquid state. Other toxic particles are also captured in the wax settling at the bottom of the tank forming into a sludge. A sludge release valve is located at the bottom of the tank. After the sludge is removed more wax is replaced in the tank working something like a toilet. The sludge becomes a byproduct that can be used as an additive to asphalt for roads or used for cocooning nuclear waste materials for long-term safe burial. The entropy of the Earth has been increasing at a startling rate since the beginning of the industrial revolution caused mainly by the carbon that is released into the atmosphere. Government scientists have failed to stop and prevent carbon pollution from entering the environment. This problem can only worsen until a solution is found before this problem becomes irreversible. It has been discovered that formulated wax has been shown to be the only answer to this problem. William Nelson waxogen@gmail.com

      "Information ALWAYS is the result of intelligence " Uhm, many rocks that formed through purely natural processes contain information, such as: (a) how long ago the rocks formed (65 million years ago? 250 million years ago? etc.) (b) under what conditions the rocks formed (at the bottom of a shallow sea, along a shoreline, from dry sand dunes, at the surface by lava cooling, etc.) (c) what life existed when the rocks formed (do the rocks contain fossils of trilobites?

I don't think it's a matter of the math, chemistry, and physics that we have being inadequate. I just think it's going to be a challenge to account for all the variables in a laboratory the size of a young planet. I'm also not sure that life occurred only once on this planet. It may have occurred multiple times, with less successful occurrences ending up being a snack tray for the more successful or most successful appearance. It does seem that life on this planet occurred almost as soon as it was possible - as soon as the planetary surface became stable enough for complex organic chemistry. That has implications for our interstellar neighborhood. While life seems to have occurred relatively quickly, what took a much longer time was multicellular life. It may be that our galaxy is well populated with alien life... And it is mostly oceans filled with our equivalent of bacteria and single-celled algae.
