Your channel has been incredibly helpful both for my university studies and convincing my skeptical father of the validity of evolution. He was really into Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute, said stuff like "there's no proof for animals being able to change phylums" even when offered evidence of transitional fossils, and how "we don't see evolution continuing to happen today in any species", so these videos have really helped him be more supportive of the field I want to study. Thanks.

For anyone seeing this in the future. About a week ago japanese scientists conclusively proved that the components necessary to form life can be found on meteorites
Thanks for making this content, i never went to college, but I've always been fascinated by science. Your videos make these complex subjects fairly easy to digest and learn, even for lay-people.
How about uploading a video about Cryobiology and how certain chemical compounds block ice growth and reduce or eliminate freezing damage? I would very much like to see that.
So there was a study in 2012 where they conclude that hydrothermal pools would be the most suitable environment for proto-life form in based on high ratios of potassium since cells need a ton of potassium to synthesize protein.

I watched six prior videos on how life began on Earth. Yours was the last video i watched. You were very straight forward and easy to understand. Plus you spoke slow and easy. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for teaching me this!!
I have seen your 4 videos . I am a science master. I am going to teach heredity and evolution to 10th standard students on Monday. Your explanation skill is very good . animations made the lessons more illustrated. Very good keep it up bro
Hey professor Dave, I'm currently restudying the biology and chemistry I learned while studying biomedical engineering. I really like your videos and explanations. I'd appreciate it if you could make more videos about biology, chemistry and biochemistry, with lots of practice problems, thanks!
One could conclude that origins of life are the result of infinity plus probability. Over time a near infinite set of all the combinations and permutations of available chemicals and conditions would occur. The laws of probability would favor the combinations that replicate. After that beginning different environments plus laws of evolution would ensure diversity of life forms.

I thought the Miller-Urey experiment produced amino acids randomly, both right and left handed, but living organisms only use left handed? So the experiment produced hundreds of ONLY left handed amino acids? Also I’m always skeptical when a scientist says “it’s not a stretch to assume”… that means they don’t know the answer for sure but it’s only a guess. So I don’t take their word for it unless they have the evidence
No, they were racemic. It doesn't matter. Deracemization occurs by many mechanisms. This is a very surface level tutorial for high school students. Visit my content debunking James Tour for way more information.
It’s hilarious that these people in the comments are trying to “seem smart”, I hope they are trolling because they really need a science class. Great video
Maybe you can help me, I know we have ways to find carbon based life that has been fossilized eg. Dinosaurs and early life fossils, but how would a silica based lifeform look when fossilized, and have we found any evidence of these?
Silica based lifeforms have recently been found to be highly improbable due to the small amount (compared to things like carb) of organic silica compounds. Any free organic silicon compounds would react with nearby water, oxygen, or rocks to create silicate.
So we know that the lipid bi layer can form spontaneously but can the basic organic components polymerise spontaneously? I’m not an evolution denier or anything I’m just genuinely curious
First, I need to preface this comment by saying that I work at a college and I teach chemistry. I am a scientist looking at this question from a scientific perspective. If I was a student looking at this video, I might be tempted to think that life could potentially come from non-life, however, with my background in chemistry and biology, I'm afraid that I must remain skeptical. The Miller-Urey experiment does indicate the possibility of forming complex biomolecules such as amino acids under early Earth conditions, however it has been theorized that an absolute minimum of about 150 genes would be necessary to allow for a functional, self-sustaining cell capable of reproduction (with each gene containing a few hundred base pairs at a minimum). In addition to the genes themselves, there would also need to be some sort of a barrier (phospholipid bilayer) against the outside of the cell and at least some minor organelles for intracellular processes. Under the conditions of the Miller-Urey experiment, these genetic sequences have not been shown to have any ability to form. Currently, I would assert there is simply no viable scientific explanation that has been put forward which explains the origin of life. That is not simply my position, but it is also the position of MOST serious biologists. These biologists would say that since life exists, there must be some kind of mechanism by which it came to be. However, none of the current explanations are satisfactory, and there is wide disagreement between biologists about which theories have any merit. Until such an explanation arises that is at least moderately testable/plausable, from a scientific perspective I simply can't make a judgment on whether life could have developed in the absence of some sort of intelligent intervention (which many would call God). Saying "there's life on Earth, therefore there must be a way for life to come from non-life on its own" is not a sound scientific assertion. This assertion implicitly makes the religious statement, "there must NOT be such a thing as God." Make no mistake that insisting that there is no God is just as much of a religious statement as claiming that there is a God. No atheist is capable of proving that God does not exist. It is every bit as much of a belief as the God of Christianity. I only mention this to emphasize the following point; while the true scientist should always seek answers about the causes of nature and the universe without relying upon "God made it that way", he must never be so closed-minded as to insist without evidence that a particular process (that seems impossible under current theories) must have occurred without divine agency. By all means, we should continue to explore and experiment and search for a natural solution to the origin of life. However, if every exploration is run and no satisfactory answer can be found, is it really so unreasonable to consider that God created the first organism? Some will try to use statistics to say that, given enough time, anything can happen. However, if you put an immortal monkey in a room with an unbreakable computer for a trillion years, that monkey is never going to reproduce the works of William Shakespeare. Unfortunately, the likelihood of life occurring under the current proposed theories has about the same level of probability. For now, I must remain agnostic on this issue. Sorry for the book ;)
Yes, it's true that we don't have a complete and coherent picture of the origin of life, we just have a lot of very reasonable and credible hypotheses, the jigsaw puzzle is slowly being filled in. Miller-Urey is just one small piece, it shows that we can get amino acids from more basic materials. That's all it proves, certainly nothing about biopolymers. But there is plenty of other work being done, and maybe one day we will have a better understanding!
I do want to say thank you for your videos. Putting together a video tutorial library for my chemistry students online, I regularly use yours due to their quality. I admittedly have limited time and rather than try to reinvent the wheel (with my limited technological expertise), I am grateful I can rely upon quality videos like yours. Much Thanks!

Michael DePauw hey man. I’ve been struggling a lot with the thought of death and the idea that after you die there is nothing (and that I’ll forget my family and friends) it’s comforting to think that life isn’t just a fluke and that it almost certainly came from something out there. I hope you have a good life man

Professor Dave i have no fucking clue how you read every single comment on every single video you have to the point where there's always a reply from you if you sort by new in any comment section of yours, but keep it up
I have liked this. However it was a bit short. The Miller Urey experiment involved molecules which are found in the Jovian atmosphere and were believed to have been the composition Earth's atmosphere 4bya. They created a tarry inert gunk composed of (of course) prebiotic molecules including AAs. Unfortunately later research suggests Earths early atmosphere was carbon dioxide (the sun was cooler) and nitrogen. Whilst they are also the building blocks of pre-biotic molecules (with hydrogen, sulphur & phosphorus) the experiment was never successful with the new parameters. Unfortunately Stanley Miller died a bitter man.
Hey Dave, I liked your slide from the debate with the venn diagram showing OoL as an inter-disciplinary study incorporating several physical sciences along with math and information science. Do you have any more videos or links around that? Super cool stuff as always! Take care.
I have a genuine question. I’m not too knowledgeable in abiogenesis so forgive my ignorance. If the miller-Urey experiment was left running for say 50 years or something would something form from the amino acids? Like something kinda like a proto cell or would it not be long enough?
Prof I really wanna be like you please how do you know so much from physics to chemistry to biology etc. Going through your channel and the subject you cover is astounding....how did you learn all this stuff and also become some kind of expert in every field
I'm with Panspermia. Simple biomolecules have been found in asteroids too. Of course there is a possibility that those molecules arose in a process similar to abiogenesis.
@@pavel9652 panspermia simply allows that the conditions of life didnt need to happen on earth, i.e. earth doesnt need to have the conditions for life, just some place/planet did and it eventually arrived on earth, thats its appeal really. I dont really buy it tho.
@@fruitylerlups530 True, I actually like the idea, but it doesn't solve the problem of origin of life. The conditions in space are even harder for life to start and sustain itself. If it happened on another planet, then it had to survive extraction, travel and insertion into the Earth environment. The question still remains, how it happened and why it didn't happen on Earth? It just adds complexity and offers no answers.
Since this segment was made as of 2022 all the bases of DNA and RNA have been found in meteorites. Which is a serious game changer: The building blocks of life are floating through the universe in space debris.
Jim's legacy at the time of this video: respected scientist. His legacy now: "MR. FARINA!!!!! GO!!!!! GO!!!!!! GO!!!!!!!" "YOU DON'T DO IT!!!! ALL YOU DO IS TALK TALK TALK!!!!!!" "CLUELESS!!!!!!!! CLUELESS!!!!! CLUELESS!!!!!!!11!!1!1!1" 😆😆😆😆😆 Keep on owning these creationists. I love seeing moments like that.🍿🍿🍿🍿
I am ff-ing curious as to what hypotheses exist regarding the evolution of the modern genetic code from the first metabolic precursors (assuming simple polymer based autocatalytic sets). Are there any good videos on that subject?
But the bible says that God pulled all of life out of his magical hat exactly as it is today 6,000 years ago. Are you telling me that your easily provable and observable scientific data contests my Abracadabra model? Inconceivable! But seriously though, the only thing i love more than the science presented in this video is how it turns the stomachs of these stone-age religious fundamentalists who can't seem to get past their hang-ups about whichever magic words whichever god had to say to make it happen.
This is an amazing video Professor Dave. I have a question though. Do you believe that the informational encoding for each protein in the DNA and the complex organization just happened through a random process. I ask this because I wish to read further on the hypothesis available. If you could only suggest some good reads.
The presentation is nice, and I like the way Dave explains it, however, the level of assumptions made in the video is next level. It's not deduction. It's pure speculation and wildly so. To assume a self-replicating cell "could" form if there is enough of time in the cosmic tumbler is equal to say that nuts and bolts of precis shape, size and quantity (assuming they are already "formed naturally") flies around in a fan propelled room in infinity, they will never - I repeat - NEVER - form an engine, no matter how long time you blow the bits around. The numbers of chance for that to occur "spontaneously" is simply too high for even EONS to manifest. And a car engine or a space rocket is peanuts in construction intelligence in comparison to a CELL. This is not me guessing, this is something science already has concluded!
You’re whining about “speculation” while regurgitating the absolute dumbest creationist talking points. Try and learn something while you’re here, little boy.
I already typed this out so im just gonna copy and paste it here. In non-equilibrium environments like the early earth, something called dissipative structures form, these structures are low entropy (highly ordered) and maintain their low entropy by constantly exchanging heat with their environment (increasing the entropy of their environment). They can form spontaneously and can even decrease their own entropy, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977 was won for proving this. A nonliving example of this is a flame, it maintains its shape by constantly exchanging heat with the environment. The reason that the structures seem to have a sense of direction is that they're incredibly efficient at dissipating energy. In the living sense, this constant heat exchange is metabolism and self-replication comes from autocatalysis, which is when the byproducts of a chemical reaction become its catalyst, causing a cascading effect. He didn't explain all of this because ots complicated thermodynamics.
Evolution is a fool's thesis, couched in the shadows of convoluted words, and ideas laden with circular reasoning and untenable theories. Dr. Colin Patterson Romans 1:19-20: Because what may be known about God is clearly evident among them, for God made it clear to them. 20 For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.
Didn't you later state, in a video response to Dr. James Tour, that the Miller-Urey experiment was not an appropriate explanation as to how life began? Or did I conflict informations?
It's not appropriate to refer to that experiment as single-handedly explaining the origin of life, yes. It's just a landmark experiment that spontaneously produced important biomolecules. This is a high school level tutorial so it's pretty shallow. In my Tour response I go way more in depth.
I love crystals for a very similar reason. They are seemingly complex structures that arose from the need to evenly and efficiently disperse energy. Entropy.
James Tour be like “This Video proves nothing. Mr Farina show me on the blackboard how molecules assemble into a living animal. We are clueless therefore God did it origin of life research is a SCAM.”
@@Masteralien186 it was sarcasm... James Tour was saying in one of the videos "Bla bla bla so you expect us to believe cells suddenly grew arms" :D or it was one of those creationists Dave was debunking I might be wrong haha
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND ITS ROLE IN THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. Paper. Introduction. A number of recent studies suggest that ultraviolet radiation may be a necessary ingredient in the origin of life. Further, one may hypothesize that the daily solar cycle and the Sun's UV radiation were important in all stages of the origin of life on Earth. Moreover, it is suggested that life can be defined as that chemical reaction forced by the energy cycle of the Sun, under very specific circumstances. Evidence. In support of these claims are the following assumptions and lines of evidence: 1. The assumption that all stages of the origin of life took place at or near the surface and close to or on land. 2. The assumption that there was a lower solar luminosity, higher UV flux, and no ozone layer in the period of the origin. 3. The assumption that there was a shorter diurnal, day/night cycle, due to the faster rotation of the Earth following the presumed collision that preceded the formation of the Moon. 4. The assumption that chemical selection was for stability under the Sun heat cycle. 5. The assumption that solar radiation far exceeded all other energy available for organic synthesis, including electrical discharges, shock waves, radioactivity to a depth of 1 km, volcanoes, and cosmic rays. 6. The assumption that there were wet/dry cycles that drove phosphorylation of nucleotides and perhaps other condensation reactions. 7. The assumption that there was at first a primitive, environmentally forced, PCR-like replication process of alternating heat and cold that denatured then annealed RNA paired strands. It is assumed that the Sun cycle (day and night) caused a cycle of primitive denaturing and annealing of paired RNA nucleotide strands [and possibly folded (annealed) and unfolded (denatured) nucleotide strands]. It is assumed that this provided a large number of variations of paired RNA strands with variations of properties, the most stable of which possessed the best Watson-Crick (W-C) pairing. 8. It is assumed that instead of a self replicator, there was at first a primitive, Sun-forced replication process. It is assumed that proof reading would at first have been limited to W-C pairing over non W-C pairing for stability. Note also the assumption that paired bases may have better protected the ribose-phosphate backbones from UV damage. 9. The assumption that the first coded information would have been for that molecule which was most stable in the Sun/heat cycle environment. Note: in Watson-Crick base pairing in RNA there are two sets of nucleotide bases: G bonds to C and A bonds to U. It is assumed that Watson-Crick base pairing is more stable in this environment than non Watson-Crick base pairing. And of the two sets of bases, It is assumed that the G-C bonds would have been more stable than A-U bonds because G-C bonds have 3 hydrogen bonds instead of the 2 of A-U. It is also assumed that A-U would have been more stable than non Watson-Crick base pairing. Further it is assumed that high G-C base pairing would have supported more stability than high A-U base pairing. Additionally it is assumed that A-U base pairing would have supported more stability than non Watson-Crick base pairing, or no base pairing at all. It is also assumed that high A-U base pairing would allow for more variation than G-C base pairing, because A-U bonds are more likely to denature in heat and more likely to denature quicker than G-C bonds and thus more likely to anneal with other RNA strands in cooler temperatures. It is assumed that overall the G-C plus A-U sets of nucleotides would promote both general stability with the G-C set, and variety with the A-U set of nucleotides. 10. The assumption that RNA acted as a receptor and transducer of UV radiation. 11. The assumption that there was a cyanobacteria-like lifestyle for the earliest confirmed true organisms so far, and that this earliest remnant of life is very near the likely origin of life. 12. The assumption that there was a pyrimidine dimer impact on the genetic code. It is assumed that because of the high UV during this period, UV-caused pyrimidine dimers would also be highly likely. This further assumes that this would not favor any code with adjacent pyrimidines that would lead to the likelihood of pyrimidine dimers. This further assumes that the most likely first codons would be either purine / pyrimidine / purine, or pyrimidine / purine / pyrimidine; coding that prevents adjacent pyrimidines and thus pyrimidine dimers. Later it is assumed that this would lead to information coding beginning in the 2nd position, or middle position, the most protected position of the 3 base codon and anticodon. It is assumed that this initial coding may have been limited to 2 classes or sets of amino acids; hydrophilic (XAX with "A" in 2nd protected position) and hydrophobic (XUX with U in 2nd protected position). There is also the assumption that there was a pyrimidine dimer impact on tRNA which, it is further assumed, was one of the earliest forms of RNA. 13. The assumption that the Miller / Urey experiments are seen as an illustration of a heat cycle, "energized by a cyclical electrical discharge apparatus to represent UV radiation from the Sun." 14. The assumption that the first mechanism that used sunlight energy to remove hydrogen from water may have been UV radiation on ferrous ions. Magnetite, a mixed oxide of ferrous and ferric iron found in banded iron formations (BIF) may be remnants of that process.
Protocells where incredibly simple and was basically a membrane and some some DNA. (Or RNA) Cells are after 3 billion years of evolution and are way more complex.
Reading the newest comments on any video that has remotely anything to do with religion or contradicting religious belief is probably the easiest way to lose your sanity.
I'd be a little more careful distinguishing between honest-to-goodness PANSPERMIA and "pseudo-panspermia" or "soft" molecular panspermia. Most people only use panspermia to describe the notion that ACTUAL ORGANISMS arrived on Earth from space, not just amino acids and biomolecules.
Miller-Urey experiment: “The highly alkaline chemical broth dissolves a small amount of the borosilicate glass reactor vessel used in the original and subsequent experiments. Dissolved bits of silica permeate the liquid, likely creating and catalyzing reactions. The eroded walls of the glass may also boost catalysis of various reactions. This increases total amino acid production and allows the formation of some chemicals which are not created when the experiment is repeated in an apparatus made of Teflon. But, running the experiment in a Teflon apparatus deliberately contaminated with borosilicate recovered some of the lost amino acid production.”
And where is the evidence for that? You're using again the: "Miller-Urey experiment bad, therefore Magic!" This is old and illogicall. You're also, just like flat earthers, trying to make a narrative of a system that is trying to fool people for no reason.
75 yrs after Miller Urey, scientists still have not found any "incredibly primitive protocell" mentioned in 4:47. With the abundance of proteins lipids and RNA DNA floating out there today, these protocells should be forming if not everywhere at least near undersea volcanos.
No, no they shouldn't. It took millions of years the first time and now there is life existing in every geological niche consuming all biological material. Try learning about what origin of life researchers actually do, kiddo.
Ever wonder why science illiterate asshats like you spew objective falsehoods with such intense confidence? Kiddo, "proto-mixture" doesn't mean anything, and small biomolecules are synthesized all the time in nature. Learn something or don't, nobody cares.
I can see that you've studied science denial under James Tour. No, we have a lot of it figured out, bud. Complaining about word choice is just infantile obfuscation.
@@orduenshambe4891 Well we absolutely can learn about what happened a million years or a billion years ago, it's called SCIENCE, little boy. Did you wanna try and learn about that while you're here or just continue humiliating yourself?
Now repeat the Miller-Urey experiment with hydrogen sulfide and phosphane since some amino acids contain sulphur -and phosphorous- and all nucleotides contain phosphorous EDIT: Actually (as Dave pointed out), there are no amino acids that contain phosphorous, -so there's no need to add phosphane gas-. EDIT 2: Nucleotides do contain phosphorous though
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Whoops! Just checked. Indeed, there are no amino acids with phosphorous. Thanks for calling me out! Gonna edit the comment now.
He ignored many basic facts about protein synthesis, didn't even attempt to discuss the chirality issue, how peptide bonds form, the reversibility of reactions without enzymes, the correct sequence of amino acids necessary to create proteins, what the putative single molecule of correct protein will do in the sea of junk protein produced by the same blind processes...my only question is, is this imaginative storytelling fuelled by wilful ignorance or deliberate propaganda?
This is a basic, introductory video for high school students, bud. It sounds like you're going to want to watch my debunk of James Tour I put out a month or two ago. It goes quite a bit more in depth and explains why your baseless cries of "propaganda" are not warranted.

And it is embarrassing that you actually admitted to teaching science and you found anything tours muttered to be compelling. Embarrassing.
I’m afraid I’m with James Tour on this. Abiogenesis in five minutes! “It’s not much of a stretch to assume” that something we haven’t been able to replicate with all the tools of biochemistry we have available, happened. I’m afraid that’s not science as I understand it, but carry on.

1:50 This experiment doesn’t seem like an accurate representation of early earth. The atmosphere was full of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the hydrogen would’ve quickly ran out, and if amino acids formed (I’m not doubting that the results, amino acids definitely did form) they would quickly decay back to more stable molecules
How do you know hydrogen wasn't present? It's not here today, but that's just because it's extremely light so it floats away by its own random thermal motion. Hydrogen is the most common elements so it is reasonable to say it was present at the Earth's formation.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains i mean they carried out the exp for 1 week right so if they could have done it for like a month maybe they could see some organisms too .
That's impossible. It was a very basic setup to show that small organic molecules can form spontaneously. There was nothing in the flask that would allow them to polymerize, let alone any materials that would constitute a self-assembling membrane.
Essentially yeah, way I see it the main reason why religions exist is because people cannot cope with not knowing how the world works and living without an external factor giving them purpose. I have no problem with people who choose this way of living, just don't push those beliefs into science and the observable world.
The most important aspect of science is being willing to say those three little words "I don't know." When it comes to the origin of life on earth, We Don't Know. I've constructed and operated the Miller-Urey apparatus, and it proves nothing more than that it takes an intelligent force directing controlled processes in a small closed system to make amino acids. The unwarranted assumptions of Miler included the early composition of the atmosphere. Urey-Miller chose the experiment's atmosphere using the molecules necessary to create amino acids, using known chemical reactions. That's a tautology. For this reason, and others, Urey-Miller has been roundly debunked in the biochemistry community. Proponents say "but we can't observe that former environment" to justify their missing data. But as a famous chemist once said, the absence of data is not data. Evolutionary biologists have zero idea how life originated. There is no plausible explanation and no demonstrated mechanism. It's a huge gulf, which is why some resort to the "panspermia" theory as a last resort. When you say "we don't know exactly what happened, but it's not much of a stretch to assume that the basic organic components delivered from the Urey-Miller experiment were able to spontaneously polymerize", that's not science. That's pure conjecture with no basis in any research. Nobody has been able to simulate this polymerization, let alone observe it occurring in nature. Please reply with those three little words. And retitle this video to tell the truth instead of the giant lie that science knows "The Origin of Life on Earth"
You don't think that if a week of bubbling in an apparatus can produce amino acids, that a half a billion years of sloshing around in the ocean can do the same? I agree that the experiment is not a flawless recreation, but it's by no means a huge stretch of the imagination. Biologists don't have "zero idea". There are incredibly detailed and plausible scenarios involving volcanic vents and mineral-filled tidal pools, which I briefly mention here. Also, yes, there is some conjecture in this clip. So what? This isn't a journal publication. It's a UA-cam video. I'm teaching what we know about how life evolved, from non-life to humans. I explain some things that we know, mention that there are definitely gaps, and insert my own opinion. Who says I can't? And who are you to tell me how to title my videos? Make your own channel and title your videos whatever you want.

I tried my best to compress the words and sentences ,and ignore things in between the thoughts and let the intelligence of the reader fill these gaps so we don't need to mention things twice. We need to distinguish between matter/energy level (where humans live ) and subatomic level where everything happening .The classic physics in matter/energy level cannot be applied on subatomic level, our observation is a reflection to what is happening on subatomic level including time ,for example, what we experience it as heat is actually atoms vibrating on subatomic level, and what we see it shinning is actually photons created and ejected from an object undergoing transformation on subatomic level. The whole universe works on subatomic level, The universe does not see sun ,earth , planets , trees and buildings. It sees concentration of particles that form these objects, and with particles it deals, any term in physics associated with matter/energy is meaningless or does not exist on quantum level including (mass,force,time,energy,...etc) so in this case any physical laws that include these terms does not apply on quantum level. We need to find the aspects that play role and the physical laws that govern them on inertia scale ,and they are thousands if not millions, the mathematical equations are few kilometers long,you call uber to correct something at the other side of it. We can understand quantum physic better if we use the term (behavior of particles of the universe) , there are nothing such as particles, there are only particles of the universe and the universe forces particles to behave on a certain way in certain conditions and one of these behaviors is gravity, gravity is behavior of particles, dark matter is behavior of particles , Why Oxygen is a gas and iron is solid metal is behavior of particles , Why photons penetrate glass and reflected on other media is behaviors of particles ,any chemical process or reaction is behavior of particles. Why some elements mix with each other and some not is behaviours of particles, Movement in space is behavior of particles, the electrical charge (- and +) are behavior of particles (so they are not properties of particles),double slit experiment is behavior of particles, the Gyroscope is behavior of particles, the speed of light is behavior of particles, and ALL fundamental forces humans know are actually behavior of particles ,particles change their behavior accordingly with the circumstances surrounding them The existence of black holes is still to be investigated ,but for the moment let's assume there is black hole in the center of each galaxy, the galactical behavior is totally different than the behavior of mass on smaller scale like planets orbiting stars and solar systems which controlled by what we know as gravity ,on galactical scale it is totally different (no matter if they are close or far from the center of the galaxy) , where the stars far from the center of the galaxy orbit faster than the stars close to the center of the galaxy ,The only explanation for this is that the behavior of particles is a function of distance (or space) let's take 2 magnets north and south and put them close to each other ,their particles will change behavior and pull each other and if we move them away from each other their particles behavior start to change, and the attraction force starts to weaken so space in fact change the behaviors of particles, the same applies for matter that circle the galaxy ,the space is much greater of matter in galaxies than space between the mass on solar systems ,that is why particles on galactical level behave differently. This was explained by scientists by the effect of dark matter So for all what mentioned above the origin of the universe was not the big bang but when particles started to get their properties and behaviors and atoms started to bond together and take shape to form matter and its companion energy ,the universe was different to what we see now ,The properties and behaviours of particle are ever changing ,and continue to do so for ever. Entropy is a good example for this. The issue with big bang theory is that it turned many aspects of the universe to constants, and we know very well that nothing in the universe is constant everything is changing all the time (including properties and behaviors of particles ) and everything is moving in space, and nothing is stand still. We have expansion of the universe and we have a big bang ,we just need to fill the gap between them and we have a theory of creation. The behaviors of particles in your body is interacting with,the particles surrounding them ,the particles of the planet you are on, the particles of the solar system your planet in, the particles of galaxy your solar system part of, and particles of all galaxies in the universe, particles have multy behaviors at the same time. So if we remove all galaxies in the universe ,and only remain you and the most distance galaxy then the particles of your body will behave according with this galaxy. The change in properties and behaviors of particles over de course of time was not equal or at the same rate everywhere in the universe, some regions didn't develop matter yet or developed to different properties We can say that vacuum is existence, or part of existence ,and what applies on everything exists in the universe applies also on vacuum, but humans observe vacuum from their perspective in matter/energy level , if we want to know and identify vacuum from perspective of quantum level then it will be something totally different ,if we say vacuum is absence of particles (and I mean everything we call particle, even fundamental particles) then still vacuum is influenced by the same aspects of the universe that influent all particles and give particles their properties and behaviors, so vacuum in a way or another does carry the properties and behavior by the influence of the aspects of the universe and because vacuum fill the gap between particles (at least what we know till now) then vacuum play major role in "communication" between the aspects of the universe and particle. was the early universe only vacuum ,then particles started to emerge? Humans are limited to their senses and brain ability and accuracy of their equipment's so there are lot of aspects in the universe human cannot interact with for example multi dimensions so it will take some time to know what vacuum consist of and its behaviors and properties So any thing happening around us could be and must be explained on behavior of particles on subatomic level,the big masses matter on any size are eventually composite of particles..and the behaviour of their particles gives the big masses their behaviors and actions in space It is certain that all particles have no mass,mass only starts to build when atoms start to bond and make matter ,so anything more that 2 atoms have mass..mass is something associated with matter/energy level ,it is nonsens that some think that the mass of big bodies is the summation of the masses of its particles , Where are the boundaries?,when we are going to apply the quantum physics rules and when we are going to apply classical physics,explanning this is very long task ,but there is one principle here is that the formation of atoms from Hydrogen till atoms of heavy element all subject to quantum level and mainly ruled by behaviours of particles any thing comes after is subject for matter/energy level still we need to take into account that the bonds between atoms of the same elment,or the bonds between atoms of different elements are directly concidered as behaviours of particles,if we understand this it will lead us to know how all elements and anything matter or energy formed and have its own charastaristices and properties and their transformation froma stat to another and from sort element to another by fusion ,decay ,radiation or what ever process . Are life and biological realm a product or a consequence of behaviour of particles on subatomic level ,the answer is yes,The ingredients in humans body or any living body even small tiny single cell creatures are all made from the same elements that every thing in the universe is made off,the difference is that they have life,or what we call it life. So what kind and what percentage of each element available on a planet that have the right environment to support life would create what kind of biological world..? We see this very clear on differences between plants ,animals,humans and the biological world as a whole on each continent on earth it self,The biological developments started on many places on earth at the same time separately and still till now days ,so nothing fell from the skies that caused to kick start life on earth, and it is an example how behaviours of particles follow a certain path when it goes higher in complexity level.So it was not a spark.
There isn't alot of evidence for abiogenesis yet, but like everything so far, things that we dont know yet, and that we claim to be supernatural in origin turn out to be simply natural with further investigation. My guess is that this trend will continue.
I started out watching your flat earth videos, as I am completely fascinated how anyone in this day and age could believe such nonsense. This is the first video I watched of yours that wasn't flat earth related. While you clearly have much knowledge about things scientific, I noticed you said things like 'some believe, 'we don't exactly know what happened', or 'it's possible', which of course means you are a man of faith, but of course not the same faith as someone who believes in God. While your video is interesting, it doesn't explain how the different elements that supposedly somehow came together were in existence in the first place. While I am not a scientist, and don't pretend to be, it seems that things coming together by chance, and becoming more and more complex as times goes on, would contradict the laws of thermodynamics, which says that things always move from a state of order, to a state of disorder, or chaos.
If you want to know how elements came to exist, you need to visit my astronomy series. They are fused in stars. No, abiogenesis does not in any way contradict the laws of thermodynamics, you just don't know what those laws state. Visit my classical physics tutorials if you wish to learn about that.
Globally (whole universe) things tend toward chaos. Locally, things do not necessarily do so in the way that you describe. So no, this does not contradict basic rules of thermodynamics.
Evolution is perfectly capable tobe a Christian view, science doesn't say life happened forcefully but atoms and the simplest of different molecules piece together under exterior stress naturally. God could've made this and doesn't diminish our excellence on earth at all

Would like to second source it to another it's out of my area soon I'll have to return to studying. (low level Physics xfer student.)
so the molecules clashed and formed amino acids, but how can the molecules exist? if the whole beginning of the universe is truly caused by an explosion, why did it cause a specific set of atoms to exist, and have specific rules that exist on all levels of life? why didn't it just create random charged molecules that can't bind whatsoever and leave the universe as literally nothing, only particles with no life forms in it? the more I study biology the more this bothers me. enjoyed the video though.

One could conclude that origins of life are the result of infinity plus probability. Over time a near infinite set of all the combinations and permutations of available chemicals and conditions would occur. The laws of probability would favor the combinations that replicate. After that beginning different environments plus laws of evolution would ensure diversity of life forms.

Maybe you can help me, I know we have ways to find carbon based life that has been fossilized eg. Dinosaurs and early life fossils, but how would a silica based lifeform look when fossilized, and have we found any evidence of these?
Silica based lifeforms have recently been found to be highly improbable due to the small amount (compared to things like carb) of organic silica compounds. Any free organic silicon compounds would react with nearby water, oxygen, or rocks to create silicate.
So we know that the lipid bi layer can form spontaneously but can the basic organic components polymerise spontaneously? I’m not an evolution denier or anything I’m just genuinely curious
Yes, there are various mechanisms such as wet dry cycling and activating agents that facilitate polymerization.

*uncomfortable James Tour noises*
First, I need to preface this comment by saying that I work at a college and I teach chemistry. I am a scientist looking at this question from a scientific perspective. If I was a student looking at this video, I might be tempted to think that life could potentially come from non-life, however, with my background in chemistry and biology, I'm afraid that I must
remain skeptical.
The Miller-Urey experiment does indicate the possibility of forming
complex biomolecules such as amino acids under early Earth conditions, however it
has been theorized that an absolute minimum of about 150 genes would be necessary
to allow for a functional, self-sustaining cell capable of reproduction (with each gene
containing a few hundred base pairs at a minimum). In addition to the genes
themselves, there would also need to be some sort of a barrier (phospholipid bilayer)
against the outside of the cell and at least some minor organelles for intracellular
processes. Under the conditions of the Miller-Urey experiment, these genetic sequences have not been shown to have any ability to form.
Currently, I would assert there is simply no viable scientific explanation
that has been put forward which explains the origin of life. That is not simply my position, but it is also the position of MOST serious biologists. These biologists would say that since life exists, there must be some kind of mechanism by which it came to be. However, none of the current explanations are satisfactory, and there is wide disagreement between biologists about which theories have any merit. Until such an explanation
arises that is at least moderately testable/plausable, from a scientific perspective I simply can't make a judgment on whether life could have developed in the absence of some sort of intelligent intervention (which many would call God).
Saying "there's life on Earth, therefore there must be
a way for life to come from non-life on its own" is not a sound scientific assertion. This assertion implicitly makes the religious statement, "there must NOT be such a thing as God." Make no mistake that insisting that there is no God is just as much of a religious statement as claiming that there is a God. No atheist is capable of proving that God does not exist. It is every bit as much of a belief as the God of Christianity. I only mention this to emphasize the following point; while the true scientist should always seek answers about the causes of nature and the universe without relying upon "God made it that way", he must never be so closed-minded as to insist without evidence that a particular process (that seems impossible under current theories) must have occurred without divine agency. By all means, we should continue to explore and experiment and search for a natural solution to the origin of life. However, if every exploration is run and no satisfactory answer can be found, is it really so unreasonable to consider that God created the first organism?
Some will try to use statistics
to say that, given enough time, anything can happen. However, if you put an immortal
monkey in a room with an unbreakable computer for a trillion years, that monkey is never going to
reproduce the works of William Shakespeare. Unfortunately, the likelihood of life
occurring under the current proposed theories has about the same level of probability.
For now, I must remain agnostic on this issue.
Sorry for the book ;)
Yes, it's true that we don't have a complete and coherent picture of the origin of life, we just have a lot of very reasonable and credible hypotheses, the jigsaw puzzle is slowly being filled in. Miller-Urey is just one small piece, it shows that we can get amino acids from more basic materials. That's all it proves, certainly nothing about biopolymers. But there is plenty of other work being done, and maybe one day we will have a better understanding!
I do want to say thank you for your videos. Putting together a video tutorial library for my chemistry students online, I regularly use yours due to their quality.

I have liked this. However it was a bit short. The Miller Urey experiment involved molecules which are found in the Jovian atmosphere and were believed to have been the composition Earth's atmosphere 4bya. They created a tarry inert gunk composed of (of course) prebiotic molecules including AAs. Unfortunately later research suggests Earths early atmosphere was carbon dioxide (the sun was cooler) and nitrogen. Whilst they are also the building blocks of pre-biotic molecules (with hydrogen, sulphur & phosphorus) the experiment was never successful with the new parameters. Unfortunately Stanley Miller died a bitter man.

I have a genuine question. I’m not too knowledgeable in abiogenesis so forgive my ignorance. If the miller-Urey experiment was left running for say 50 years or something would something form from the amino acids? Like something kinda like a proto cell or would it not be long enough?

This is an amazing video Professor Dave. I have a question though. Do you believe that the informational encoding for each protein in the DNA and the complex organization just happened through a random process. I ask this because I wish to read further on the hypothesis available. If you could only suggest some good reads.
The presentation is nice, and I like the way Dave explains it, however, the level of assumptions made in the video is next level. It's not deduction. It's pure speculation and wildly so. To assume a self-replicating cell "could" form if there is enough of time in the cosmic tumbler is equal to say that nuts and bolts of precis shape, size and quantity (assuming they are already "formed naturally") flies around in a fan propelled room in infinity, they will never - I repeat - NEVER - form an engine, no matter how long time you blow the bits around. The numbers of chance for that to occur "spontaneously" is simply too high for even EONS to manifest. And a car engine or a space rocket is peanuts in construction intelligence in comparison to a CELL. This is not me guessing, this is something science already has concluded!
You’re whining about “speculation” while regurgitating the absolute dumbest creationist talking points. Try and learn something while you’re here, little boy.
I already typed this out so im just gonna copy and paste it here. In non-equilibrium environments like the early earth, something called dissipative structures form, these structures are low entropy (highly ordered) and maintain their low entropy by constantly exchanging heat with their environment (increasing the entropy of their environment). They can form spontaneously and can even decrease their own entropy, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977 was won for proving this. A nonliving example of this is a flame, it maintains its shape by constantly exchanging heat with the environment. The reason that the structures seem to have a sense of direction is that they're incredibly efficient at dissipating energy. In the living sense, this constant heat exchange is metabolism and self-replication comes from autocatalysis, which is when the byproducts of a chemical reaction become its catalyst, causing a cascading effect. He didn't explain all of this because ots complicated thermodynamics.
Evolution is a fool's thesis, couched in the shadows of convoluted words, and ideas laden with circular reasoning and untenable theories. Dr. Colin Patterson

It's not appropriate to refer to that experiment as single-handedly explaining the origin of life, yes. It's just a landmark experiment that spontaneously produced important biomolecules. This is a high school level tutorial so it's pretty shallow. In my Tour response I go way more in depth.

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AND ITS ROLE IN THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. Paper.
Introduction. A number of recent studies suggest that ultraviolet radiation may be a necessary ingredient in the origin of life. Further, one may hypothesize that the daily solar cycle and the Sun's UV radiation were important in all stages of the origin of life on Earth. Moreover, it is suggested that life can be defined as that chemical reaction forced by the energy cycle of the Sun, under very specific circumstances.
Evidence. In support of these claims are the following assumptions and lines of evidence:
1. The assumption that all stages of the origin of life took place at or near the surface and close to or on land.
2. The assumption that there was a lower solar luminosity, higher UV flux, and no ozone layer in the period of the origin.
3. The assumption that there was a shorter diurnal, day/night cycle, due to the faster rotation of the Earth following the presumed collision that preceded the formation of the Moon.
4. The assumption that chemical selection was for stability under the Sun heat cycle.
5. The assumption that solar radiation far exceeded all other energy available for organic synthesis, including electrical discharges, shock waves, radioactivity to a depth of 1 km, volcanoes, and cosmic rays.
6. The assumption that there were wet/dry cycles that drove phosphorylation of nucleotides and perhaps other condensation reactions.
7. The assumption that there was at first a primitive, environmentally forced, PCR-like replication process of alternating heat and cold that denatured then annealed RNA paired strands. It is assumed that the Sun cycle (day and night) caused a cycle of primitive denaturing and annealing of paired RNA nucleotide strands [and possibly folded (annealed) and unfolded (denatured) nucleotide strands]. It is assumed that this provided a large number of variations of paired RNA strands with variations of properties, the most stable of which possessed the best Watson-Crick (W-C) pairing.
8. It is assumed that instead of a self replicator, there was at first a primitive, Sun-forced replication process. It is assumed that proof reading would at first have been limited to W-C pairing over non W-C pairing for stability. Note also the assumption that paired bases may have better protected the ribose-phosphate backbones from UV damage.
9. The assumption that the first coded information would have been for that molecule which was most stable in the Sun/heat cycle environment. Note: in Watson-Crick base pairing in RNA there are two sets of nucleotide bases: G bonds to C and A bonds to U. It is assumed that Watson-Crick base pairing is more stable in this environment than non Watson-Crick base pairing. And of the two sets of bases, It is assumed that the G-C bonds would have been more stable than A-U bonds because G-C bonds have 3 hydrogen bonds instead of the 2 of A-U. It is also assumed that A-U would have been more stable than non Watson-Crick base pairing. Further it is assumed that high G-C base pairing would have supported more stability than high A-U base pairing. Additionally it is assumed that A-U base pairing would have supported more stability than non Watson-Crick base pairing, or no base pairing at all. It is also assumed that high A-U base pairing would allow for more variation than G-C base pairing, because A-U bonds are more likely to denature in heat and more likely to denature quicker than G-C bonds and thus more likely to anneal with other RNA strands in cooler temperatures. It is assumed that overall the G-C plus A-U sets of nucleotides would promote both general stability with the G-C set, and variety with the A-U set of nucleotides.
10. The assumption that RNA acted as a receptor and transducer of UV radiation.
11. The assumption that there was a cyanobacteria-like lifestyle for the earliest confirmed true organisms so far, and that this earliest remnant of life is very near the likely origin of life.
12. The assumption that there was a pyrimidine dimer impact on the genetic code. It is assumed that because of the high UV during this period, UV-caused pyrimidine dimers would also be highly likely. This further assumes that this would not favor any code with adjacent pyrimidines that would lead to the likelihood of pyrimidine dimers. This further assumes that the most likely first codons would be either purine / pyrimidine / purine, or pyrimidine / purine / pyrimidine; coding that prevents adjacent pyrimidines and thus pyrimidine dimers. Later it is assumed that this would lead to information coding beginning in the 2nd position, or middle position, the most protected position of the 3 base codon and anticodon. It is assumed that this initial coding may have been limited to 2 classes or sets of amino acids; hydrophilic (XAX with "A" in 2nd protected position) and hydrophobic (XUX with U in 2nd protected position). There is also the assumption that there was a pyrimidine dimer impact on tRNA which, it is further assumed, was one of the earliest forms of RNA.
13. The assumption that the Miller / Urey experiments are seen as an illustration of a heat cycle, "energized by a cyclical electrical discharge apparatus to represent UV radiation from the Sun."
14. The assumption that the first mechanism that used sunlight energy to remove hydrogen from water may have been UV radiation on ferrous ions. Magnetite, a mixed oxide of ferrous and ferric iron found in banded iron formations (BIF) may be remnants of that process.

Miller-Urey experiment: “The highly alkaline chemical broth dissolves a small amount of the borosilicate glass reactor vessel used in the original and subsequent experiments. Dissolved bits of silica permeate the liquid, likely creating and catalyzing reactions. The eroded walls of the glass may also boost catalysis of various reactions. This increases total amino acid production and allows the formation of some chemicals which are not created when the experiment is repeated in an apparatus made of Teflon. But, running the experiment in a Teflon apparatus deliberately contaminated with borosilicate recovered some of the lost amino acid production.”
And where is the evidence for that? You're using again the: "Miller-Urey experiment bad, therefore Magic!" This is old and illogicall. You're also, just like flat earthers, trying to make a narrative of a system that is trying to fool people for no reason.
75 yrs after Miller Urey, scientists still have not found any "incredibly primitive protocell" mentioned in 4:47. With the abundance of proteins lipids and RNA DNA floating out there today, these protocells should be forming if not everywhere at least near undersea volcanos.
No, no they shouldn't. It took millions of years the first time and now there is life existing in every geological niche consuming all biological material. Try learning about what origin of life researchers actually do, kiddo.

He ignored many basic facts about protein synthesis, didn't even attempt to discuss the chirality issue, how peptide bonds form, the reversibility of reactions without enzymes, the correct sequence of amino acids necessary to create proteins, what the putative single molecule of correct protein will do in the sea of junk protein produced by the same blind processes...my only question is, is this imaginative storytelling fuelled by wilful ignorance or deliberate propaganda?
This is a basic, introductory video for high school students, bud. It sounds like you're going to want to watch my debunk of James Tour I put out a month or two ago. It goes quite a bit more in depth and explains why your baseless cries of "propaganda" are not warranted.

I’m afraid I’m with James Tour on this. Abiogenesis in five minutes! “It’s not much of a stretch to assume” that something we haven’t been able to replicate with all the tools of biochemistry we have available, happened. I’m afraid that’s not science as I understand it, but carry on.

1:50 This experiment doesn’t seem like an accurate representation of early earth. The atmosphere was full of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the hydrogen would’ve quickly ran out, and if amino acids formed (I’m not doubting that the results, amino acids definitely did form) they would quickly decay back to more stable molecules
Nitrogen is rather inert, and amino acids don't just magically "decay". They are very stable.
How do you know hydrogen wasn't present? It's not here today, but that's just because it's extremely light so it floats away by its own random thermal motion. Hydrogen is the most common elements so it is reasonable to say it was present at the Earth's formation.
They should have carried out the exp longer .
Why?
@@ProfessorDaveExplains i mean they carried out the exp for 1 week right so if they could have done it for like a month maybe they could see some organisms too .
That's impossible. It was a very basic setup to show that small organic molecules can form spontaneously. There was nothing in the flask that would allow them to polymerize, let alone any materials that would constitute a self-assembling membrane.

Essentially yeah, way I see it the main reason why religions exist is because people cannot cope with not knowing how the world works and living without an external factor giving them purpose. I have no problem with people who choose this way of living, just don't push those beliefs into science and the observable world.
The most important aspect of science is being willing to say those three little words "I don't know." When it comes to the origin of life on earth, We Don't Know. I've constructed and operated the Miller-Urey apparatus, and it proves nothing more than that it takes an intelligent force directing controlled processes in a small closed system to make amino acids. The unwarranted assumptions of Miler included the early composition of the atmosphere. Urey-Miller chose the experiment's atmosphere using the molecules necessary to create amino acids, using known chemical reactions. That's a tautology. For this reason, and others, Urey-Miller has been roundly debunked in the biochemistry community. Proponents say "but we can't observe that former environment" to justify their missing data. But as a famous chemist once said, the absence of data is not data.
Evolutionary biologists have zero idea how life originated. There is no plausible explanation and no demonstrated mechanism. It's a huge gulf, which is why some resort to the "panspermia" theory as a last resort.
When you say "we don't know exactly what happened, but it's not much of a stretch to assume that the basic organic components delivered from the Urey-Miller experiment were able to spontaneously polymerize", that's not science. That's pure conjecture with no basis in any research. Nobody has been able to simulate this polymerization, let alone observe it occurring in nature.
Please reply with those three little words. And retitle this video to tell the truth instead of the giant lie that science knows "The Origin of Life on Earth"
You don't think that if a week of bubbling in an apparatus can produce amino acids, that a half a billion years of sloshing around in the ocean can do the same? I agree that the experiment is not a flawless recreation, but it's by no means a huge stretch of the imagination. Biologists don't have "zero idea". There are incredibly detailed and plausible scenarios involving volcanic vents and mineral-filled tidal pools, which I briefly mention here. Also, yes, there is some conjecture in this clip. So what? This isn't a journal publication. It's a UA-cam video. I'm teaching what we know about how life evolved, from non-life to humans. I explain some things that we know, mention that there are definitely gaps, and insert my own opinion. Who says I can't? And who are you to tell me how to title my videos? Make your own channel and title your videos whatever you want.

If methane was needed to create first amino acids then that would mean that hydrocarbons were produced inorganically in the earth. This could change the theory of biotic source of hydrocarbons. There had to hydrocarbons available in the atmosphere for this to occur where did those hydrocarbons come from if there were no lithotrophic methanogenic archaea to begin with? Protocell would require fatty acids and lipid membranes where did the hydrocarbons originate? Could the hydrocarbons discovered in the earth be result of abiotic synthesis?
Methane can be produced abiotically.

I think the Miller Urey experiment was successfully recreated using only N2 and CO2.
I tried my best to compress the words and sentences ,and ignore things in between the thoughts and let the intelligence of the reader fill these gaps so we don't need to mention things twice.
We need to distinguish between matter/energy level (where humans live ) and subatomic level where everything happening .The classic physics in matter/energy level cannot be applied on subatomic level, our observation is a reflection to what is happening on subatomic level including time ,for example, what we experience it as heat is actually atoms vibrating on subatomic level, and what we see it shinning is actually photons created and ejected from an object undergoing transformation on subatomic level.
The whole universe works on subatomic level, The universe does not see sun ,earth , planets , trees and buildings. It sees concentration of particles that form these objects, and with particles it deals, any term in physics associated with matter/energy is meaningless or does not exist on quantum level including (mass,force,time,energy,...etc) so in this case any physical laws that include these terms does not apply on quantum level. We need to find the aspects that play role and the physical laws that govern them on inertia scale ,and they are thousands if not millions, the mathematical equations are few kilometers long,you call uber to correct something at the other side of it. We can understand quantum physic better if we use the term (behavior of particles of the universe) , there are nothing such as particles, there are only particles of the universe and the universe forces particles to behave on a certain way in certain conditions and one of these behaviors is gravity, gravity is behavior of particles, dark matter is behavior of particles , Why Oxygen is a gas and iron is solid metal is behavior of particles , Why photons penetrate glass and reflected on other media is behaviors of particles ,any chemical process or reaction is behavior of particles. Why some elements mix with each other and some not is behaviours of particles, Movement in space is behavior of particles, the electrical charge (- and +) are behavior of particles (so they are not properties of particles),double slit experiment is behavior of particles, the Gyroscope is behavior of particles, the speed of light is behavior of particles, and ALL fundamental forces humans know are actually behavior of particles ,particles change their behavior accordingly with the circumstances surrounding them
The existence of black holes is still to be investigated ,but for the moment let's assume there is black hole in the center of each galaxy, the galactical behavior is totally different than the behavior of mass on smaller scale like planets orbiting stars and solar systems which controlled by what we know as gravity ,on galactical scale it is totally different (no matter if they are close or far from the center of the galaxy) , where the stars far from the center of the galaxy orbit faster than the stars close to the center of the galaxy ,The only explanation for this is that the behavior of particles is a function of distance (or space)
let's take 2 magnets north and south and put them close to each other ,their particles will change behavior and pull each other and if we move them away from each other their particles behavior start to change, and the attraction force starts to weaken so space in fact change the behaviors of particles, the same applies for matter that circle the galaxy ,the space is much greater of matter in galaxies than space between the mass on solar systems ,that is why particles on galactical level behave differently. This was explained by scientists by the effect of dark matter
So for all what mentioned above the origin of the universe was not the big bang but when particles started to get their properties and behaviors and atoms started to bond together and take shape to form matter and its companion energy ,the universe was different to what we see now ,The properties and behaviours of particle are ever changing ,and continue to do so for ever. Entropy is a good example for this.
The issue with big bang theory is that it turned many aspects of the universe to constants, and we know very well that nothing in the universe is constant everything is changing all the time (including properties and behaviors of particles ) and everything is moving in space, and nothing is stand still. We have expansion of the universe and we have a big bang ,we just need to fill the gap between them and we have a theory of creation.
The behaviors of particles in your body is interacting with,the particles surrounding them ,the particles of the planet you are on, the particles of the solar system your planet in, the particles of galaxy your solar system part of, and particles of all galaxies in the universe, particles have multy behaviors at the same time. So if we remove all galaxies in the universe ,and only remain you and the most distance galaxy then the particles of your body will behave according with this galaxy.
The change in properties and behaviors of particles over de course of time was not equal or at the same rate everywhere in the universe, some regions didn't develop matter yet or developed to different properties
We can say that vacuum is existence, or part of existence ,and what applies on everything exists in the universe applies also on vacuum, but humans observe vacuum from their perspective in matter/energy level , if we want to know and identify vacuum from perspective of quantum level then it will be something totally different ,if we say vacuum is absence of particles (and I mean everything we call particle, even fundamental particles) then still vacuum is influenced by the same aspects of the universe that influent all particles and give particles their properties and behaviors, so vacuum in a way or another does carry the properties and behavior by the influence of the aspects of the universe and because vacuum fill the gap between particles (at least what we know till now) then vacuum play major role in "communication" between the aspects of the universe and particle. was the early universe only vacuum ,then particles started to emerge? Humans are limited to their senses and brain ability and accuracy of their equipment's so there are lot of aspects in the universe human cannot interact with for example multi dimensions so it will take some time to know what vacuum consist of and its behaviors and properties
So any thing happening around us could be and must be explained on behavior of particles on subatomic level,the big masses matter on any size are eventually composite of particles..and the behaviour of their particles gives the big masses their behaviors and actions in space
It is certain that all particles have no mass,mass only starts to build when atoms start to bond and make matter ,so anything more that 2 atoms have mass..mass is something associated with matter/energy level ,it is nonsens that some think that the mass of big bodies is the summation of the masses of its particles ,
Where are the boundaries?,when we are going to apply the quantum physics rules and when we are going to apply classical physics,explanning this is very long task ,but there is one principle here is that the formation of atoms from Hydrogen till atoms of heavy element all subject to quantum level and mainly ruled by behaviours of particles any thing comes after is subject for matter/energy level still we need to take into account that the bonds between atoms of the same elment,or the bonds between atoms of different elements are directly concidered as behaviours of particles,if we understand this it will lead us to know how all elements and anything matter or energy formed and have its own charastaristices and properties and their transformation froma stat to another and from sort element to another by fusion ,decay ,radiation or what ever process .
Are life and biological realm a product or a consequence of behaviour of particles on subatomic level ,the answer is yes,The ingredients in humans body or any living body even small tiny single cell creatures are all made from the same elements that every thing in the universe is made off,the difference is that they have life,or what we call it life.
So what kind and what percentage of each element available on a planet that have the right environment to support life would create what kind of biological world..?
We see this very clear on differences between plants ,animals,humans and the biological world as a whole on each continent on earth it self,The biological developments started on many places on earth at the same time separately and still till now days ,so nothing fell from the skies that caused to kick start life on earth, and it is an example how behaviours of particles follow a certain path when it goes higher in complexity level.So it was not a spark.
Thanks for the teaching
There isn't alot of evidence for abiogenesis yet, but like everything so far, things that we dont know yet, and that we claim to be supernatural in origin turn out to be simply natural with further investigation. My guess is that this trend will continue.

My toe sis
in the beginning of the video, you posed the exact same questions i did. great minds think alike!
I started out watching your flat earth videos, as I am completely fascinated how anyone in this day and age could believe such nonsense. This is the first video I watched of yours that wasn't flat earth related. While you clearly have much knowledge about things scientific, I noticed you said things like 'some believe, 'we don't exactly know what happened', or 'it's possible', which of course means you are a man of faith, but of course not the same faith as someone who believes in God. While your video is interesting, it doesn't explain how the different elements that supposedly somehow came together were in existence in the first place. While I am not a scientist, and don't pretend to be, it seems that things coming together by chance, and becoming more and more complex as times goes on, would contradict the laws of thermodynamics, which says that things always move from a state of order, to a state of disorder, or chaos.
If you want to know how elements came to exist, you need to visit my astronomy series. They are fused in stars. No, abiogenesis does not in any way contradict the laws of thermodynamics, you just don't know what those laws state. Visit my classical physics tutorials if you wish to learn about that.
Globally (whole universe) things tend toward chaos. Locally, things do not necessarily do so in the way that you describe. So no, this does not contradict basic rules of thermodynamics.
I'm happy to see your face on evolutionary tree Professor Dave
Evolution is perfectly capable tobe a Christian view, science doesn't say life happened forcefully but atoms and the simplest of different molecules piece together under exterior stress naturally. God could've made this and doesn't diminish our excellence on earth at all
Dave. Got a Racoon using a tool video it's a rock on a glass window. It's on the net F B everywhere. Posted it to Dr. Jane Goodall. One of those animal videos ya know. Would like to second source it to another it's out of my area soon I'll have to return to studying. (low level Physics xfer student.)
so the molecules clashed and formed amino acids, but how can the molecules exist? if the whole beginning of the universe is truly caused by an explosion, why did it cause a specific set of atoms to exist, and have specific rules that exist on all levels of life? why didn't it just create random charged molecules that can't bind whatsoever and leave the universe as literally nothing, only particles with no life forms in it?
the more I study biology the more this bothers me.
enjoyed the video though. I'm gonna watch all of them
If you want to understand cosmology, visit my astronomy series. It is very clear you have zero knowledge regarding the processes that created atoms and molecules.
