  • In which Hank and John Green teach you about life on Earth. They won't be giving advice on how life should be lived, because this is a history series. Instead, they'll teach you about the earliest forms of life on Earth, and some of the ways that they developed into the types of life we know, love, and sometimes don't love so much (I'm looking at you here, opossums). You'll learn about prokaryotes, eukaryotes, panspermia, reproduction, a little about DNA, and even a thing or two about trees. Maybe.

    I know John Green is kind of reserved in presenting his Christian faith yet I find it kind of interesting how he tackles such topics from a simple unbiased viewpoint, unshaken in his beliefs. Respect for you on that Mr. Green.

    I love it. "I don't know" is the only honest answer and all speculation has to be qualified.
    If you take anything from this video, it must be that "I don't know" can be used to answer a question. If that's the truth, it is the correct answer and you should proudly say it.

      If you find what created energy you'll find what created life, because energy created matter as in that there would be no matter without ernergy.
      We all function by energy as well (our brains) and in every cell our mitchochondria, produces or works with energy.
      The big bang was a explosion of energy and the "God" that created our universe was this explosion of energy (or as some would like to say it was the proces he used to create our universe).
      That's why nuclear fission produces energy.
      Our body is just a vessel to contain our energy and when it dies our soul (our energy) goes back to form something else (this theory includes "heaven"and "reincarnation").
      Now i need to copyright this theory, but you guys can have a go with this, i developped it when trying to figure out what God is and energy is the result, something that's in literally everything.

    In undergrad my genetics professor made the point that RNA can replicate itself, RNA can mutate, any time DNA is used it has to be transcribed into RNA, RNA binds to other RNA molecules that are attached to amino acids, those amino acids are ordered based on the sequence in the original RNA molecule copied from DNA, those amino acids are then bound together to make the building blocks of cells. He said the best argument for the RNA world hypothesis is that we are still RNA organisms more than we are DNA organisms even 3.5 billion years later.

    Panspermia is a non-answer. Like god. Saying we came from an asteroid just moves the question a step back and begs the question, ok, and how did it develop on that asteroid/planet/comet/whatever?

    • @Alexaflohr
      @Alexaflohr 9 років тому +72

      It is, but it does open up the possibility that life can emerge in some other chemical setup than primordial Earth. If panspermia is true, then we're more free to experiment with a bunch of wacky situations from which living molecules may emerge.
      It's probably not that though. There is even less evidence to life starting (or even existing) beyond Earth than life starting here.

    • @DrQuak
      @DrQuak 9 років тому +6

      It isn't really though, as it is an umbrella for several theories, one of which is that some of the complex molecules, that became life, may have formed in the hard vacuum of space, or under the flux of cosmic rays.

    • @unvergebeneid
      @unvergebeneid 9 років тому +10

      Panspermia open up more time and space for the freak occurrence of molecules just randomly assembling themselves into a simple self-copying machine. Life showed up so quickly on earth that it's really hard to see how something like that happened in that short time span.
      Not that I'm really a panspermia advocate but I see its merits.

    • @flaviusclaudius7510
      @flaviusclaudius7510 9 років тому +8

      The thing that makes panspermia at all useful is that it challenges the assumption that the conditions on primordial Earth were suitable for the creation of life - it may not have been. It is often seen as a 'cop-out' answer, but it is important to examine one's assumptions.

    • @Grokford
      @Grokford 9 років тому +1

      I wouldn't say that god is a non-answer. If there is a god, in the traditional sense of the word i.e. all-powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent ect., than it takes no stretch of the imagination to think that such a being could create life. If there is a god then it would be far more likely that he created life because of the sheer complexity of life.

      Alan Ridge you realize I was joking, right? I'm not getting into an argument. Also, Origin of Species describes how creatures evolved into better species. That's called microevolution. Macroevolution is what evolutionists believe. That's like going from a T-Rex to a chicken.

    I finished watching this amazing video and when I scroll down the first thing I see is somebody mixing Science with God. Hey! If you think it is impossible for you to respect people who trust in research and tangible proof you should not be making comments about neither Bible nor God here. You can go and watch a religious channel instead of being looking for controversy here. The theory of an almighty loving and powerful God who we can trust and put our trust on is cool. But don't troll others that doesn't share your way of thinking.

    • @efenollal

    • @efenollal
      @efenollal 9 років тому +6

      Hey I'm being polite. The bible presents a loving and caring God but just and who can't lie. Since he promise something that's what will be. If he promises wrath that's what will happen. If his people do what he says he promise love. That's it... Remember, religion is used to control masses. If you don't present a loving god who will punish you if you don't comply with what he says, how can you expect people to follow that specific belief?

      The only way to answer this question is a long in-depth conversation. The kind that you can't have on a UA-cam comments bored. The only thing I can do is suggest reading material. Anything by Scott hon, GK Chesterton or Thomas Aquinas would be good. you might also want to check out wordingfire.org and EWTN.com. EWTN (Eternal word television network) is also a T.V. station, but I don't know if you get it.

    O man, I'm such a defender of the panspermia theory myself. My dream is that, in our lifetime, we will find a way to explore Europa (Jupiter's moon) and "catch" a fish with DNA structures similar to ours, something that indicate a common, and VERY old, ancestry, it would prove the panspermia theory and it would be another amazing addition to the collection of proofs towards convergent evolution >D

      but it is awesome, ad in the lack of evidence to actually contest, or prove without doubt, any of the possibilities toward the actual origin on life on earth i sure do hope panspermia will be the right one (given that, if it's proven has definitly wrong i will be very sad but will accept the fact >D)

    • @PacXen
      @PacXen 9 років тому

      I do admit that panspermia would in fact be an awesome discovery! But the thing is if natural forces cannot create life on earth, then how can we expect them to be created else were? I highly suggest that you poke around and look at evidence for both creations and evolution. You might be surprised what your can find about intelligent design and the recent discoveries.
