    Whatever origin has been, I find it quite comforting that conditions and building blocks for building life is actually very common in universe. We might be "the law" not "exception" in universe.

    So, Please provide me the link of it and I'm excited for the upcoming videos on CrashCourse.

    The more we learn about the complexity of cells, along with the seemingly impossible difficulty of even beginning to create the building blocks of a cell in the ideal conditions of a lab, demonstrates that a lack of knowledge does not hinder people from explaining things about which no one yet understands.

  • @johndoh5182
    @johndoh5182 8 місяців тому +1

    My problem with this video or course is the skipping of earth's collision with another large body, which formed a larger earth and blasted material out which eventually would become the moon. This collision is critical. Life on earth is adapted to the moon phases and you don't get there overnight. That alone is a billion or so years of evolution.
    This also requires the explanation of how after a blast of two planets colliding which would superheat everything once again and evaporate almost all the water on earth, how water gets BACK to the earth.
    This is about 2 minutes of discussion. It shouldn't have been skipped

    • @joshuaalexanderjohns
      @joshuaalexanderjohns 8 місяців тому +3

      So you start with a universe, then big bang, cool off, stars, supernova for heavier elements, some of those elements are liquids and solids unlike hydrogen and helium at these temperatures since the big bang, and you have planets like earth.
      It's a wonderfully poetic realization that we (and everything else in this planet) are made of star stuff.
      Hope this helps!

    Age of the planet is a scientific guess subject to huge swings in time. We keep standardizing things to explain and then are surprised to learn of great variation to our standard estimate. Why can’t we just say we don’t know but here is a non binding possibility?

    • @johndoh5182
      @johndoh5182 8 місяців тому +12

      Yes of course. Any discussion that goes back a few billion years is theory, and sometimes it's not even established theory (assuming you understand what the definition is for "theory" in the world of science).
      As we learn more and more, we establish more theory. Theory is never FACT. That's the nature of science. When YOU are watching a scientific based video this is implied and a narrator is never going to keep saying "we think". It's up to the viewer to understand the concept of science.

    great we have a sense of how animals change, and even began. but why? that is an answer current science it too stubborn to answer.

    • @joshuaalexanderjohns
      @joshuaalexanderjohns 8 місяців тому +3

      There's the causal "why" and the purpose "why."
      The scientific method isn't designed for determining the purpose of something, but it is incredibly effective at determining the conditions that result in a repeatable effect.
      Science has been used to understand the chemistry that builds proteins and the proteins that build DNA and the DNA that builds cells. It is incredibly well understood the causal "why" life exists.
      If you want to know the purpose of "why" life exists, science never promised that.

    • @samwill7259
      @samwill7259 8 місяців тому +2

      There is no why. Life perpetuates itself because that is what it does. It requires no purpose

    • @michealwestfall8544
      @michealwestfall8544 8 місяців тому +3

      Theories are the explanation of established facts. The one with the least amount of assumptions made and can be vertified in experiments is usually deemed the correct one. If you can't test a theory or make predictions with it, it's not really useful and deemed wrong.
