Life does not come from nonlife. As far as we know... so far. Right now its a fairytale. We need to stop teaching this in schools.
This is 1:04 of complete dribble.. Lots of silly, impressive sounding words, that really dont mean shit. All these people have wasted their lives pushing this nonsense...
What nonsense are you talking about? Intelligent Design?
We KNOW where humanity came from...we already have ALL the answers to these questions. All these establishment scientists reallt dont know shit, because they are in "disciplines" that are tightly controlled and are set up to retard humanitys progress, NOT advance it.
Answer....it Doesnt! 😄
You ask is there a way that we can go fr these simple systems to cells as we know them, but you never explained how this system came and how does it feasibly function. Where does this membrane and pump come from? You seems to just throw in a system begging the same question abiogenesis what is the clear pathway? Why do these explanations never explain anything, rather, explain infeasible conjectures to yes men.
Short answer..It Doesn't.. utternonsense. 👎
Great work/talk. It’s likely that The Universe is organismic (It is a nested holon top to bottom .. energy to us) .. it just doesn’t look like an organism from our perspective of it’s infinity ♾️ How else could big bang plasma grow into Einstein given some clumping and cooling and waiting around for 14 billion years (without one single human thought or scientific theory involved ) Seed to tree Egg to me Plasma … to manifest Universe (all that is was and will be) Same process but the Big Bang was the crack of the cosmic egg … matter, PLUS … inherent information, inherent geometry, 4 forces, atoms flipping bits when they interact (computing) There is nothing crazy about the notion that life/consciousness may be primary and not matter. Or that matter energy (science does not know what energy IS incidentally.. they deal in mathematical descriptions) is much more mysterious than physicists have realised. Book “Why materialism is baloney” by Dr Bernardo Kastrup.. former CERN scientist PhD x2 in computer science and philosophy (idealism)
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
I couldn't attend because of "blocus" thx for posting 😄
Say something with all those words 😅
So you see lots of hydrogen deposits in the earth? Then you'd have more luck using carrots because at least carrot deposits can be found to exist on the earth. In other words you are just a scammer trying to find a use for something that does not naturally exist.
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.
Energy can be stored in chemical bonds. There are organisms alive today who literally get their energy from inorganic molecules. They are called lithotrophs, which means “rock eaters.” The high energy electrons in these chemicals can be used to synthesize organic matter and drive other reactions/processes .
@@brentfodera377 Not only energy is stored in chemical bonds, but it is also inside every atom. The standard model of physics particles teaches so. That means energy is there before chemistry starts. There is energy inside every massive particle. Life is energy therefore, life was there before chemistry took off. Chemistry cannot be behind energy; it must be after (E=MC2).

This is highly interesting and productive research and needs to be intensively supported financially. Particularly we can apply it for management of enteric emission of CH4 and CO2 in precision livestock farming.
This has the same results as pyrolysis and perhaps it could be used in combination ? 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.
Seaweed farming will be good option
@@jobsonjames3810 Yes, fertilizing some ocean areas for more seaweed, algae etc growth could be best since there we lose no land. It seems always overlooked, this option.
Can someone please introduce prof nick lane to critical point theory?
This is just mind-bogglingly cool and interesting!
Question: does everything change? If yes, does everything evolve? If yes, then can we equate the origin of life as a "type of" the evolution of life? 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.

Is a vagina a hydro thermal vent?
what happened 53:
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 bet! There's your science. Behold. The common assertion from evolutionists of genome degeneration causing evolutionary generation is laid out as being absurd comic book science. It's Ninja Turtle material. We are an intelligent design by Jesus Christ. Call upon his name in faith to receive the free gift of eternal life right now!
epigenetics does not undermine darwinian evolution and most certainly do not prove existence of god called jesus christ
Mindless chemicals do not move towards life. Chemicals do not know anything, they do not follow plans, chemicals only REACT. That is all chemicals do. They do not build things. They do not make irregular patterns or put things in sequence specific order. But they want us to believe that mindless chemicals accidentally invented life, evolution, natural selection and photosynthesis?? 🤣🤣🤣 Do me a favour. How much faith do you need to believe in this abiogenesis bs?
To think that the complexity of the first cells JUST HAPPENS IS RIDICULOUS and you all sound like that

Do You really believe in 'Angry God's' ?
@@holgerjrgensen2166 No, but I just compare the ancient believe in gods causing thunder and ligthning to the modern believe in some magician being responsible for anything else science can not explain yet.
The most exposed 'Modern Believe', is that Intelligence can be 'artificial'. But spacetime and big bang got the kick out, things is moving. Onsdag and Torsdag, (DK) refer' to Odin and Thor, nordic mythology, the God of Thunder. Well, Electricity, is the finest of all Maya's Layers, We are in principle Electric Beings, along with the natural development, We will grow from low-electric to High-voltage Electric beings. Much more to tell, but hold short.
@@holgerjrgensen2166 but nothing supernatural, that's the point.
I am amused at the reasoning of those creationists who dismiss abiogenesis as magic only to insist that it really was magic... AKA supernatural powers operating outside the laws of nature. 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.
An unknown universe of emergent properties, some may even be of a virtual nature that we can never imagine, even causality isn't a fundamental in the bigger scheme.
The chemistry of life is simple. The chemistry set is not. The proper use of that set is not. Oh, yeah. Nor is the chemistry.
Life arose twice, each with completely different DNA replication nanomachine complexes, and for RNA transcription as well.
No information, no complex life. No match of codon to a.a, no encoded protein. No aminoacyl t-rna synthases specific for the same matching codons, no loaded t-rna for each. No pre-loaded matching tRNAs in thousands of copies, no first protein built from code. No protein built from code, no aminoacyl t-rna synthases. No synthetic pathways in place for bases and ribose back bones, no additional or copying of RNA. No proper temperatures to de-anneal RNA double helices (stable to 85 C+ with cooling needed to re-anneal) no RNA copying. No RNA replicases, no copying. Lastly, adding new complex parts, each created at random, so they complexify an existing 50 to 100 a.a protein so it actually works better, rather than grinds to a halt, is insanely absurdly improbable. Take a simple ribozyme capable of translation. Now add 60+ proteins and 5+ RNA strands to make 2 working subunits powered by ATP with EG-F2- ok...tell me how the simple became that complex. Same for flagella+motor. ATP synthase water-wheel of ? number of parts, driven by proton currents? Self-copying matter means nothing. Alphabet letters, to words, to sentences, to paragraphs to unique meaningful action- which both builds the typewriter ink,, paper, and copies all of the above-that, is life And, for true competition, excellent fidelity is needed for producing identical organisms. The chemistry is simple. The chemistry set is not.
Now after all that, tell me magic is real. Then apply your scientific rigor to that. That this research is extremely difficult is understood but that it is impossible is a baseless claim made by creationists to rationalize their mythology.
@@lrvogt1257 please explain how atoms possess information processing abilities.
@@lrvogt1257 thoughts dance across neural nets, rely on them, but are not caused by brain cells. The immaterial must exist (read, the Mary's Room conjecture) The laws of logic and mathematics exist independently of matter, but requires matter to make them real. Information is immaterial, arises from relationship. The information in DNA is semiotic, and has no back-coding. The base sequences which specify a topoisomerase has no connection to that enzymes function. The squiggly andstraight lines of the sentence "My dog has fleas" has no connection to one specific dog, who owns it, and what a flea is, except through the complex process of information which has a decoding system which links letter shape, order, spaces to concepts off of and outside of the medium where the message occurs. Therefore, the base sequences require a built in intelligent mechanism which annot refer to some function without the product's parameters specified in advance of its construction. This is intelligent design. I think your issue is the human description ( or your imagined description, without which you cannot reject or accept a premise) of just what such a god-like Intelligence must look like. I accept that any description of such an Intelligence must be so dumbed down from the real one.
@@glenliesegang233 : You made the claim that something other than natural processes produced life. It's on you to defend your claim. What is the alternative and what is the evidence for it besides your personal incredulity? I'm not asking for proof or a detailed mechanism just some tangible evidence. I only state that there is no evidence or data for anything but natural phenomena. If you deny that show me some.
@@glenliesegang233 : You don't know... can't know that thoughts aren't emergent from brain activity. Humans develop concepts that follow our rules of logic but that doesn't alter the laws of physics that makes biology function. That 2+2=4 is not a supernatural phenomenon. There may be 2 of something but the 2 is not a thing other than a useful human description. Your DNA coding argument is another James Tour-like attempt at saying what isn't. It doesn't help explain what is. Code is just descriptive symbols invented by people to describe something else. The DNA is just chemicals linking together based on atomic bonds. The universe is awash in quantum waves and we perceive some of it. The idea that anything complex must be intelligent is very anthropomorphic. Primitive people were desperate for meaning so they extrapolated what they knew. The father built a house, provided food and shelter, and set down rules and punishments so they imagined a super-father that did it for the world. Creationists still cling to that for the origin of the universe and of life as everything else they imagined done by a god has been explained scientifically. No more Thor's hammer. There is still no evidence or data that can describe the mechanism by which the alleged supernatural can influence the real world.
No such magic happened. Why is the brain a Mandelbrot set?
Exactly. It was not magic. It was not contrary to the laws of nature. It was a natural phenomenon.
That is to say, by adding entropy a superior order and complexity of Matter is achieved; I don't think that's the way

Earth at the time of abiogenesis was very different and life has filled every niche since so the conditions are likely no longer suitable. It will be extremely interesting to see what may be in the liquid water on Enceladus and Europa.
Sounds like you have had this conclusion ready to hand and feel no need to understand what the lab expirements are about.
Anti-God scientists make new useless scenarios about every 10 years of purposeless accidental random chemical reactions that could have, might have, probably did, likely did, etc., produced life. BS. Everything they do in labs is done with intelligent design to prove God, the Intelligent Designer, doesn't exist. Sad.
chemistry is not purposeless, accidental, or random. everything they do in labs is to simulate prebiotic environment that would be present on earth 4+ billion years ago. nobody is trying to prove god doesnt exist. they are trying to prove how life started... but if you have presupposed narrative that god created life by casting magical spells and incantations, that is your problem. because evidence doesnt show anything of sorts. evidences points to chemistry.

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

The serious flaw in the theory (the "800 lb gorilla") is that DNA is (and has to be) included in the definition of "life" and there is no way random processes can create the information contained in the DNA. Information ALWAYS is the result of intelligence and there is NO intelligence driving chemistry.
"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?

Why is it extraordinary? They are trying to figure out something that occurred only 1 time, some 4 billion years ago, under conditions that are not widespread on Earth today. There are a myriad different combinations of temperatures, changes in temperatures, pHs, changes in pHs, concentrations, changes in concentrations, pressures, changes in pressures, wet or dry, changes in wet or dry, chemicals present, changes in chemicals present, etc. that need to be investigated.
Hmmm. Did you ever have to replace something on your car and think to yourself, " What a pain... this can't be the way they assembled it at the factory."? 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.
Abiogenesis is not possible
@@TonyTigerTonyTigerhow do you know it only happened one time
