I want to say a few things here: 1. You turned lies and accusations into a great testimony for Smalley's life. 2. You , Dr. James Tour, are a great honor to Rice University. 3. You, Hugh Ross, Stephen Meyer, and John Lenox are the most important people/ heroes of my adult life , which is based on faith and science . God bless you richly and fortify you against the attacks of the enemy.
@@Sparrow-hawk-666 Abiogenesis is not provable by experiment. I am consistently surprised that people like you do not see the obvious fallacy that you are using intelligently designed experiments to show that there is no Intelligent Designer. By the way, just how did mitosis first come to be? Without cell division, your story dies at the start. Another point...how do you evolve machines like the walking motor proteins that are used to pull the chromatids apart during Anaphase?
He could be possessed, as many atheists are, he certainly appears to be very vindictive when he talks about Dr Tour, despite obviously having no reason to be so. Ausman's assassination attempt on Tour can only have two motives, the first is simply to discredit Jim because he's a Christian, the second reason is possibly a poor attempt by Ausman at increasing views on his own channel.
Talk about a total demolition of a person’s unfounded charges. Wow! Good job Dr. Tour. Scientists, Academic colleagues, loved ones, Rice leadership, all coming to Dr. Tour’s defense. Thankful for your leadership and inspiration. Talk about someone trying to hijack a person’s legacy. Mr Ausman should be ashamed of himself. As disappointing the attack is. I think we should all pray for Kevin Ausman. He definitely needs Jesus.
James Tour investigated the accusations against himself, and found himself to be innocent of the 'unfounded charges' lol. Good methodology. Perfect for those who believe in the sky daddy.
@@Sparrow-hawk-666 Reminds me of those news reports that are basically "Government looked into Government's actions, and concluded the Government did nothing wrong...." 🤦♂
@@Reclaimer77 So we should believe the guy who just ranted, over the person who used people and the family of the subject as witnesses? Keep your head down, we've heard enough
@@CosmicalChrist If you look up "rant" in the dictionary you'll see a picture of James Tour's crazy face lol. The guy is a god-loving Creationist maniac who loses his mind over evolution. Something literally the ENTIRE scientific community knows is true. But you Christians love the idea of one man standing against all reason against "the system". It perfect fits your moronic world view that breeds conspiracy theories.
@Robert-ct6bc Why do you even care? Aren't we just a collection of neurons and chemicals on a floating space rock in a universe devoid of purpose? Why waste your time with this, go somewhere else and be with other neurons you like.
Dr. James Tour, this is one of your most extraordinary videos; it showed me how powerful your testimony is among your colleagues, how powerful and disturbing and challenging your effect is on the scientific community and how the enemy hates your work. You must be a role model for many . May our dear Lord guide you and protect you 🙏
This is happening because Dr. Tour has exposed that Origin of Life research has been a scam. They have no responses to his arguments, so they attack his character. But they picked the wrong hombre.
Steve Benner (OoL-researcher) received $5,000,000 grant for his research. (Source: Huffpost "Steve Benner--Origins of Life Funds & Origins of Life Jewelry") So, it is not only about exposing the scam, but it is also about grant money ... or more specifically -- no more grant money ... I can see why these people don't like Dr. Tour ... "
Nope. Tour doesn't understand the first thing about origins of life research. He doesn't even understand anything about evolution. There he is, a professor at Rice which offers many courses in biochemistry and cell biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and he can't get off his backside to go visit the biology department and learn something about evolution and abiogenesis. Why? Because he's a know-it-all who thinks he knows everything about the subject that can be known. So he deliberately keeps himself in the dark, which is why he's become a laughingstock in the scientific world.
@@alexnik1181 You're the one fanatically (a k.a. against the logic) clinging to the pseudoscientific Darwinian fairytale, despite of ever growing degrees and amount of debunked pillars on which all types of unproven evolution substitute the only proven one via the scientific method. Yet somehow he is the sheep and not you? 🤦🤦🤦
@@corneliusteslaru9450 Not just him, you are too. I bet you don't think evolution is pseudoscience, you just heard someone else saying it and now repeat it. Sheep.
25 years ago I sat in a lecture theater looking at slides on DNA. Knowing the dependent relationship between amino acids and proteins and then how those proteins themselves fit into even bigger more life-dependent bio systems and on and on it became SELF-evident that what I was looking at was the most incomprehensible *program* _ever_ . Utterly stunned I _knew_ that the program itself was _informational_ in nature thus leading me to wonder what was the known source of information. That lead me to _mind_ . Mind is the _only_ thing (non-material) we are aware of that produces information (computers/AI is the product of minds). And clearly mindfulness/consciousness must hold properties of causality. This all occurred sitting in a seat in a community college ALL BEFORE I was even aware of the ID debate. Once I witnessed how vociferous the attacks were on ID proponents I _knew_ I was over a VERY important target. This alone changed my life. *THANK YOU DR. TOUR* for your ongoing courage and ACADEMIC HONESTY in the face of dogmatic _scientism_
Yes, and they talk about DNA as if it were a flimsy scaffold with a mind of its own. There are rules that DNA cannot break, and if it does, synapsis cannot occur. The devilutionists never talk about the rules of cellular biology. It's because they know they are lying. We do not share a common ancestor with Great Apes.
I had a profound revelation in a physics lecture one time too, that doesn't mean the thought I had was representative of reality and it definitely doesn't point to any god
@@HowBoutDemBoyzz The Judaeo Christian Bible contains some 2,500 prophesies made over the course of 1,600 years. Some 2,000 of them have come about exactly as foretold. Some 400 of these were about Jesus the Christ. The probability of this happening by chance is nil. The Bible is the supernatural "Word" of God and it definitely points to the existence of God.
Sounds like it's an honor to call Dr. Richard Smalley a brother in the Lord. Praying for Dr. Kevin Ausman in his bitterness. Seems to be taking after Dave Farina.
@@MrLogo73 I do not. I do fear God as a son fears a good father. My father in heaven will not condemn me to hell, whatever that may be. He never breaks His word and I'm promised life eternal with Him. Eternity is is promised. "I set before you (eternal) life and (eternal) death, choose life." It is human nature to contemplate the eternal. If you decide that there is no creator and no judgement, that eternity is in your mind whatever you wish to believe. It's most natural, when confronted with a challenge to your beliefs to be angry at the challenge. The Gospel shared by James Tour challenges any atheist. You know it is fulfillment of prophecy by Jesus that James Tour is hated by atheists as he is hated for Jesus' sake.
@@jon__doe "It's most natural, when confronted with a challenge to your beliefs to be angry at the challenge. The Gospel shared by James Tour challenges any atheist." That is what other religions say about you. "You know it is fulfillment of prophecy by Jesus that James Tour is hated by atheists as he is hated for Jesus' sake." Can you define the term 'gaslighting'? "...and I'm promised life eternal with Him." Promised? Not demonstrated? Hindu for example say, that you should fear Naraka, except, if you believe in Hindu gods. Mbuti say, that your so called Jesus isn't a god. They claim, that Konovoum is god and the elephant Gor has revealed the truth of Konovoum to all of us. It's just you, who is suppressing Konovoum's truth in unrighteousness.
Yes, but I was there at the Venice-themed party where everyone was requesting Dr. Tour do impressions of the best microbiologists at the harpsichord. He had a really obnoxious laugh while entertaining everyone! He actually DID hijack the party- it suddenly became all about his keyboard talents, playing upside down and such... Dr. Ausman was wearing a black mask so, in his anonymity, he flatly requested, "Play Ausman." And Tour then impersonated him with a scowl and a gross fart. Oh! I could tell this struck at poor Ausman's heart! So sad.
@@Nero.Was.Also.Pharaoh Sir, your “story” seems vaguely familiar. That entire scenario reminds me of a scene from the (Academy Award winning) movie: Amadeus. The scene takes place at a masquerade party that Mozart, his young wife and overbearing father attends. Mozart is asks to plays “like” different composers, while playing their compositions, on a harpsichord. One time he was held up side down and had to play backwards. He finally was asked, by Salieri himself (but in disguise) to play Salieri, which he does but is making fun of him. On the last note Mozart stands up, bends over to bow, and lets out a loud fart. It’s hilarious. One of the best movies ever made. Mozart was indeed inspired by God Himself. Oh yes. Mozart had a crazy cackling laugh in the movie. You’re not implying that Kevin shares the same degree of mediocrity as Salieri? That seems to elevate him much higher than he deserves, don’t you think? ❤
Why would he be angry that a dying man prayed when it shouldn't matter to him either way? He would think all cease to exist whether pray or not. Even if he was right, which he is not, the only reason he would be disturbed is because he fears the believer might be right.
@@nexpro6985 That's not an argument, its a statement, I've seen no one come close to proving Tour is wrong, if he was, they would have already, if anything, he's getting the other side to be a bit more honest.
Why do people have such a hatred for Christ? They hate no other teacher like they do him. They hate no other people like they do Christians. Not Hindus, not Buddhists, not Zoroastrians, not Muslims. If anything validates Christ, it's that. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Because they are from the decendabrd of the elite bloodlines who’ve hated Christ before he was born because he changed the game for eternal life , blood won’t do it for them and the nephelim want eternal life for themselves which they gave up by leaving heaven to procreate with human women ..

God is the God of mathematics, science, chemistry, engineering and so on. He breathed life into Adam. It may be why the mechanics of OOL cannot be discovered. What is the breath of an immortal, invisible, spirit being? The dichotomy of science and religion came with Darwin.
Thank you for including such gracious portrayal of Debbie and Rick Smalley's faith and professionalism. I will forget Rick Aussman, but not your honest representation of the facts and your relationship with Rick Smalley
Dr. Schmidt made the best point. “I’m really mystified why anybody would complain about Christian comments at a funeral… topics of funerals are those of eternity, right? What more would you expect?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 30:38
Poor soul Dr. Ausman, being a very very diehard atheist, I can give him a break for making himself a fool to make false and ludicrous comments about the proceedings in a Christian memorial and life celebration service ! I bet he likely has never been to such a service and he also couldn’t stand every step in it ! It’s clear Dr. Ausman just hates God and Christians so much that he became so livid about it all ! He disrespected Dr. Smalley, his wife, his other family members with his conjectures and slimy comments based on his ignorance and arrogance.
Mr. Tour, you are light of Rice university. Darkness wants to fight you and people led by ungodly spirits trying to attack you. But God is bigger. Keep your good faith.
You should be praying ANYONE/EVERYONE who deserves the Truth gets the opportunity. Why is this man deserving of your……..prayers? Who prays for the victims of war? You?
Dear Dr. James you are inspiring me for several years. I have become more strong in faith. I started living life more loving with Jesus and I'm more confidence. These people just don't know what they are doing. I'm Pastor Arfan Moris from Pakistan. God bless Dr James and all his team.
Man, gotta feel bad for Dr. Ausman, nothing but hatred and false allegations that were easily disproved by the ACTUAL PEOPLE involved. I don't know him personally but making baseless accusations speaks volumes about his character.
It's obvious you aren't in academia nor are a scientist. You only believe the picture Tour paints of the field. And those 4 adjectives in your post also apply to Tour.
@@AncientDownfall No, he believes the "picture" painted by what arrogant and provably false assertions the Christ haters in academe make. Time and time again, you people are proved wrong and yet you continue to push the lies. These lies are why people see that the universities and academe in general have become not merely useless, but actually harmful to society.
James Tour has saved my Marriage through the Holy Spirit by taking time from his busy life to answer my emails several years ago, at the time when he was under tremendous attack from the enemy. Saed
When he calls what are your Christian beliefs "unscientific" that is the problem in a nutshell. It is your Christian beliefs that are a problem to him, but he is masking his complaint in personal terms, rather than openly attacking your Christian beliefs. He is not knowledgeable enough to attempt to refute Christianity, nor can he stumble you in regards to science, so he is attacking you on a personal basis. Recently, I've come to the opinion that it is the sin (demon) of PRIDE that drives the unbeliever, especially the scoffers and mockers. Like Satan, they have become PROUD of their stance against God, yet some small flicker of doubt lingers, so they scoff and mock at Christianity, while sadly and secretly hoping to be converted, but it is PRIDE that is behind the disbelief and driving the disbelief. Satan is goading this poor man to perform what he believes is a "mission" or "assignment" to "expose" the "truth". He truly is in Satan's grip. I believe you expertly and civily refuted his claims.
Kevin Ausman does sound like a typical atheist, youtube, propagandist. Nothing unique, nothing new nothing true. Really it's quite sad. Thank you for the concise and thorough rebuttals. 👍
@Robert-ct6bc HAHA. I assume by "Tour did damage control" you mean the work of C. Fred Higgs III, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Director at Rice University, who examined the alleged plagiarism and said, and I quote: "the claim was weak and baseless"...
@Robert-ct6bc "I wanted to more formally clarify that my office did receive a specific allegation of plagiarism, however we already thoroughly investigated, checked, compared and determined that the allegation was baseless. We further assess that it was a retaliatory attack based on your Christianity, and were ready to close this matter once we got the complainant to admit it, and voluntarily withdraw from their complaint. However in the course of our investigation, we uncovered the collaborations between XXXX and Dr Barron, and we found the complainant was simply repeating statements attributed to Dr Barron. Because Barron's involvement gives a false air of credibility, we believe that this situation will arise again, and want to pit something in place to ensure this is handled properly going forward. My reaching out was not to investigate plagiarism, that investigation was already concluded, and the complainant admitted to their prejudiced actions. It was to figure out how to best deal with this retaliatory allegation, and other bigotry-based allegations that are likely to be levied against you in the future. We do not want injustice to go unchecked. Cheers, C. Fred Higgs III.
@Robert-ct6bc I'll take that response as a concession of defeat on the Barron issue. He's published over 800 papers. Be specific about which ones he's "slapped his name on" or shut up and sit down.
If he's 'smarter than most people' it should not take long to appreciate, the tactful nuanced skills used by Dr. Tour. What a way to dismantle the narrative.
Luke, 6:28, Bless them that curse you, pray for them which despitefully use you. Don't let the evil one get to you, and prey for the lost that they may open their heart to the Father in heaven. May the Lord Bless you more and more everyday brother Tour, and thankyou for your preaching.
@@gsincs The attack and disrespect of a deceased man, followed by numerous attacks on his faculties, judgement, and desire to marry the love of his life, us what disturbed me most! Like yourself, I believe he owes his wife, colleagues, and friends an apology, even though Dr. Tour and the others are very confident people, capable of defending themselves. But, to defame the deceased is reprehensible! Cheers!🇨🇦
@bobtan6744 The hell are you talking about? Did you read my comment. The poster I was replying to said he is waiting for Kevin's rebuttal "the ball is in your court" like this is some rap beef. I'm saying Kevin needs to man up and apologize to Rick's family. This is clear cut...Kevin was outta line. Last thing I want to see is Kevin continuously hurt Rick's family with some petty back and forth.
Thank you for watching! Very soon, we will be releasing a video addressing Andrew Barron's list of accusations, including plagiarism. We look forward to presenting more testimony, emails, and primary source documentation from over two decades ago. Subscribe to get notified! 👍 - Producer
I'd like to ask you, Dr James Tour, why you haven't availed yourself of the courses that Rice University offers on evolutionary biology, so you can learn what science knows about the subject?
uuum sooo ´ur take on this is YES I DID ALL THOSE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE THINGs BUT HEY GOD´ ur a MONSTER also who the fuck cares about his wife she sounds like a fanatic christian wheres his SON? woman didnt evn sound like a real person but a DI bot
@@JessicaSunlight Mr Tour does not research the chemistry of abiogenesis, he doesn't publish about it in the scientific press, and he's in no position to pontificate about it. He's a layman, like you. Just because you worship him doesn't magically make him right. I have looked into the field, as a biochemist, and see no problem with it. Had Tour restrained himself to remarking we don't have the final answer, it wouldn't have been an issue, but he ignorantly, or rather arrogantly without a full understanding, insists the process itself is impossible, because BIBLE!
It is not unusual for Dr. Ausman to call you vindictive, when all you've ever done was to put pressure on those who oppose you for the wrong reasons to simply qualify their arguments. To an atheistic liberal mind, simply seeking truth can look "vindictive". They are more accustomed to seeing conservative, rational minded persons not firing back, but just rolling over. Thank you James. You're a fine example for right-minded individuals to not give up the ship! God bless you Brother in all you do.
Glad that you are addressing this issue...it would have damaging not to especially for many of us who had grown to rely on you for correct information especially in the controversial OOL area
No not Fake Professor Dave Farina? The guy that just reads abstracts of papers and never understands the body of work that he talks about. This accuser will rue the day he bared false witness.
Dave has retreated to an echo chamber on youtube; he does nothing for academic science, or for applied science, unlike Tour who continues to make advances in his field.
I couldn't care less about what dr. Ausman and his dillusional claims._ God is merciful. What a beautiful story of conversion. "Into the darkness we shine, and out of the ashes we rise."HalleluYah!
Father, I pray for Dr. Kevin. Help him to let go of his bitterness and envy. Humble him, as only you know how to do. Protect Dr. James. Help him to continue patiently, and to have discernment. In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, amen.

I don't know you, but I love you, and I hope you will soon come to follow his commands.
@@316350 I appreciate that brother I really do, truly. But perhaps we should follow the instructions given to us by Christ? Maybe not disobey him and just toss his words out the window like they're meaningless? Let's follow the good teacher shall we? Let's do as he says. Be well!
I love how this guy shoots his own story in the foot by publishing the article himself without letting you review it! Total own-goal. He owes you a huge apology. His credibility is totally shot.
Thank you for your personal ministry and your public testimony, they are extremely encouraging to me. I trust the peace of God is holding you up in the face of this unfortunate attack. The edification I receive from your videos is greatly appreciated and when these negative aspects emerge it only compels me to pray for your peace and for their needed relationship with their creator. Again, thank you Dr. Tour.
If there is a better purpose of UA-cam I've not seen it. Ausman has ruined his name and embarrassed his family. "Better to be silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and confirm all doubt"
Dr. Tour, this brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for being strong in your faith. You're an inspiration to thinkers and believers. I will pray for Dr. Ausman.
Praise GOD for your witness Dr. Tour… I pray that Dr. Ausman repent at this public exposure with the TRUTH of GOD’s mercy and love for him. Thank you for letting GOD speak through you 🙏🏻
As a former in-your-face-atheist I can sympathize with the all-too-soon-to-be-erstwhile Dr Ausman who hath not “…ears to hear” but can only listen to the endless maelstrom of the same old thoughts daily sapping his attention and polluting his agents of perception. Someone in this conversation is an embarrassment alright. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
If only he were smart enough to recognize his own failures. But he’s an atheist. People don’t become atheists be use they are smart or humble or teachable. They become atheists to not have to change.
Absolutely beautiful. Dr Ausman has completely humiliated himself and yet God has used it as an opportunity to share more about Jesus. Thank you, Dr Tour.
Well, I was waiting for that and you didn't disappoint. It was a comprehensive demolition of your opponents arguments. Completely blew them out of the water
I think Jim is one of the most humble and gracious people I've met. I wrote him an email a while back concerning a disagreement I had with him about the Vax. I am a total nobody not a scientist or prof or anything. Contrary to the accusations being hurled Dr. Tour was very gracious and kind in his response even though I was challenging things he had said. He certainly wasn't rude or vindictive at all. It was my experience that Jim was absolutely conducting himself in a manor that was consistent with his Christian beliefs and values. Personally I find attacks in his character to be petty and disgusting and just pathetic. You can see in every video he makes that he is objective, logical and genuinely interested in the pursuit of Truth contrary to the people attacking him who only seem interested in their own personal glorification and virtue signaling. I don't always agree with everything Dr. Tour says but I respect him and I never doubt his integrity. I hope I get to meet him and shake his hand and thank him in person for all his wonderful videos.
This guy is hardly worth your time. He's horribly insecure. He struggling with something and he's trying to make you the bad guy in this situation. He's working hard to make you the bad guy so that he is justified in rejecting God.
This entire video shows how loving and supportive Dr. Tours and his friends really are. It makes everyone, including Dr. Boul and Dr. Smalley and his wife, look loving and kind. The entire short event is a proof of the scripture which says, “God turns all things to good for those who love him.”
❤Thank you as always Dr Tour for showing us how to approach such accusations with courage and dignity. Hopefully Mr Ausman will see this presentation and reconsider his own attitudes and reach the beautiful peace that Mr Smalley did with knowing Jesus, his Saviour! We are all encouraged in Jesus by you Dr Tour.
Dr Tour, Thanks for taking the time to refute Ausman. You should not have to defend your actions during a time when you were obviously a help to Smalley and his wife. I will pray for you Dr Tour! That justice and truth prevail. I love that you unashamedly proclaim that Jesus is your king. I am also amazed and grateful to Rice for not having the typically college bias against a Christian and giving you all that you need to conduct your research while you have the freedom of religion and to practice it as you see fit.
Hang in there Jim. Your life, your testimony, your work with science and your love of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fellow scientists and students is a testimony to your character. I recall a comment made by our Master when He said, I came to give sight to the blind and to blind those who say they can see. Seems like Kevin Ausman has been blinded to the truth. We will keep praying for his soul, that he will come to know the Holy and victorious Trinity.
This attack on Dr. Tour seems to be an egregious exercise in petty slander and lies unbecoming a professional even though we all know the pettiness so prevalent in many aspects of life. Sad that Dr. Tour has to address such garbage. BTW, I loved hearing of the stories of Dr. Smalley's encounters with Dr. Tour and Dr. Ross.
I'm glad we have a believer who does not shirk or cringe when it comes to standing up for himself against these unwarranted and obviously ill conceived attacks. I am also glad and proud we have a scientist who publicly pushes effectively and honestly for more truth in the public dispensation of scientific claims, which most or all of us have understood for some time are often lies and bs.
Dr. Tour, this is a fantastic rebuttal. Very procedurally dismantled by sticking to the facts and speaking to the direct players involved. If Dr. Ausman holds to his original talking points, he is in denial, and I hope he offers an apology.
These People need Prayers, IN life, there are always People with Different natures, and Personalities and different agendas! Being Gracious and Loving is Gods Command! 🎉
I once heard advice…”Don't spend your time defending yourself. Let God defend you and those closest to you defend you. You can spend your whole life dispelling rumors.”
What a complete decimation this was! If I was Ausman I’d be so embarrassed and if Farina has a shred of decency, he’d take down the video or Ausman should demand it. To say what he said about someone else’s funeral from nearly 20 years ago is absolutely disgusting! Just because he’s an atheist and doesn’t like religion?? He must hate 99% of all funeral then. The basis for all is claims about Tour being involved were eviscerated by Smalley’s own wife!
God has blessed us so much with people like James that it's hard to fathom why he loves us so much. He's ordained that certain people, at certain times, would rise to point us to Him. The Christ. In All Things God is blessed - in All Things he is glorified. Thank you Dr. Tour for serving so well. It is obvious that you are a Faithful Servant. I wonder how many more will be there to celebrate The Christ as a result of your Love for your King?
Goodness. There seems to be at the very least, a lot of insecurity going on with this person, Kevin. And of course, he has good reason to feel this way, but not to take it out on others. God bless, and keep you James.
You are a Hero to me and my family! May God Continue to Bless You Abundantly. "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." - 2 Timothy 3:12
Rice’s James Tour named to National Academy of Engineering Professor honored for work on “novel forms of carbon” Rice University chemist James Tour was named to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), one of the highest professional distinctions accorded “in recognition of distinguished contributions” to the field.
In body language science, that man does not like the taste of the lies he's telling. What a sad bitter man. David beseeching God with prayer for his enemies who unjustly accuse him are so appropriate, Dr. Tour. We will pray as well. 🙏🏻❤️
Dr Tour, I have deep admiration for the humility you displayed, in firstly giving thought to the accusations brought against you by Dr Ausman. Secondly, for extending yourself to address these fallacious commentary. I believe that this attempt to cast aspersions on your works only solidifies your posture in the field academia as a giant and a man of truth. I thank God for entrusting you with heavenly secrets to make known to us as we marvel and delight in His grandeur. I pray for your courage in that you press on in your pursuit of knowing the beauty of our Creator and further revealing His majesty.
As a Veterinarian who has viewed Dr. Tour's pod and lecture videos. I was amazed over a synthetic Organic Chemistry a field I was recently acquainted with. Between his Integrity and Academic rigor and citation index and Academic , I would prefer his Faith in the Scientific Method rather than the blind subservience to Primary Sources of Literature that has been revised over and over again simply because it does not support of Life, until now haven't been able to produce a fully functional Eukaryotic cell. And stick and ball models? That was already standard during my subjects in Organic Chemistry!Ball and stick models are three-dimensional models where atoms are represented by spheres of different colors and bonds are represented by sticks between the spheres, with the addition of upbeat music has made kids relate to it. Therefore, why not? IfThere, any doubts as to the agenda of this hostility against Christians who happen to be scientists is simply disengenuous, simply: outstandingly bad. I will subscribe to the Scientific compatibility of men of faith vis-a vis the Scientific Method, based on Meritocracy.

He could be possessed, as many atheists are, he certainly appears to be very vindictive when he talks about Dr Tour, despite obviously having no reason to be so. Ausman's assassination attempt on Tour can only have two motives, the first is simply to discredit Jim because he's a Christian, the second reason is possibly a poor attempt by Ausman at increasing views on his own channel.

You must be a role model for many .
May our dear Lord guide you and protect you 🙏
This is happening because Dr. Tour has exposed that Origin of Life research has been a scam. They have no responses to his arguments, so they attack his character. But they picked the wrong hombre.
Steve Benner (OoL-researcher) received $5,000,000 grant for his research. (Source: Huffpost "Steve Benner--Origins of Life Funds & Origins of Life Jewelry")
So, it is not only about exposing the scam, but it is also about grant money ... or more specifically -- no more grant money ... I can see why these people don't like Dr. Tour ...

Great comment bro, especially "they picked the wrong hombre" that got me happy. God bless

Nope. Tour doesn't understand the first thing about origins of life research. He doesn't even understand anything about evolution. There he is, a professor at Rice which offers many courses in biochemistry and cell biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and he can't get off his backside to go visit the biology department and learn something about evolution and abiogenesis. Why? Because he's a know-it-all who thinks he knows everything about the subject that can be known. So he deliberately keeps himself in the dark, which is why he's become a laughingstock in the scientific world.
I stand firmly behind you Dr. Tours because you speak truth where others cannot stomach it. God is with you always!

25 years ago I sat in a lecture theater looking at slides on DNA. Knowing the dependent relationship between amino acids and proteins and then how those proteins themselves fit into even bigger more life-dependent bio systems and on and on it became SELF-evident that what I was looking at was the most incomprehensible *program* _ever_ . Utterly stunned I _knew_ that the program itself was _informational_ in nature thus leading me to wonder what was the known source of information. That lead me to _mind_ . Mind is the _only_ thing (non-material) we are aware of that produces information (computers/AI is the product of minds). And clearly mindfulness/consciousness must hold properties of causality. This all occurred sitting in a seat in a community college ALL BEFORE I was even aware of the ID debate. Once I witnessed how vociferous the attacks were on ID proponents I _knew_ I was over a VERY important target. This alone changed my life.
*THANK YOU DR. TOUR* for your ongoing courage and ACADEMIC HONESTY in the face of dogmatic _scientism_
Yes, and they talk about DNA as if it were a flimsy scaffold with a mind of its own. There are rules that DNA cannot break, and if it does, synapsis cannot occur. The devilutionists never talk about the rules of cellular biology. It's because they know they are lying. We do not share a common ancestor with Great Apes.
I had a profound revelation in a physics lecture one time too, that doesn't mean the thought I had was representative of reality and it definitely doesn't point to any god

Yes, but I was there at the Venice-themed party where everyone was requesting Dr. Tour do impressions of the best microbiologists at the harpsichord.
He had a really obnoxious laugh while entertaining everyone! He actually DID hijack the party- it suddenly became all about his keyboard talents, playing upside down and such... Dr. Ausman was wearing a black mask so, in his anonymity, he flatly requested, "Play Ausman." And Tour then impersonated him with a scowl and a gross fart. Oh! I could tell this struck at poor Ausman's heart! So sad.
Envy tied to mediocrity
@@Nero.Was.Also.Pharaoh
Sir, your “story” seems vaguely familiar. That entire scenario reminds me of a scene from the (Academy Award winning) movie: Amadeus.
The scene takes place at a masquerade party that Mozart, his young wife and overbearing father attends. Mozart is asks to plays “like” different composers, while playing their compositions, on a harpsichord. One time he was held up side down and had to play backwards. He finally was asked, by Salieri himself (but in disguise) to play Salieri, which he does but is making fun of him. On the last note Mozart stands up, bends over to bow, and lets out a loud fart. It’s hilarious. One of the best movies ever made.
Mozart was indeed inspired by God Himself.
Oh yes. Mozart had a crazy cackling laugh in the movie.
You’re not implying that Kevin shares the same degree of mediocrity as Salieri? That seems to elevate him much higher than he deserves, don’t you think?

Ad hominem attacks is all they can do, James has them against the fence on the science.
I know, hearing scientists unpersuasively challenge his points then dismiss him as a God of the gaps scientist is quite something lol
Why would he be angry that a dying man prayed when it shouldn't matter to him either way? He would think all cease to exist whether pray or not. Even if he was right, which he is not, the only reason he would be disturbed is because he fears the believer might be right.
Except he doesn't. Tour is wrong.
@@nexpro6985 That's not an argument, its a statement, I've seen no one come close to proving Tour is wrong, if he was, they would have already, if anything, he's getting the other side to be a bit more honest.

Why do people have such a hatred for Christ? They hate no other teacher like they do him. They hate no other people like they do Christians. Not Hindus, not Buddhists, not Zoroastrians, not Muslims. If anything validates Christ, it's that. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Because they can't put themselves above Jesus Christ, unlike above creatED gods. Jesus destroys materialism - which is their god.
Because they are from the decendabrd of the elite bloodlines who’ve hated Christ before he was born because he changed the game for eternal life , blood won’t do it for them and the nephelim want eternal life for themselves which they gave up by leaving heaven to procreate with human women ..

@@patrickthomas2119atheists double standards bro.
there is a rule of thumb: if a man refused to publicly stand face-to-face with the one he accused, he is lying and a coward.
When he calls what are your Christian beliefs "unscientific" that is the problem in a nutshell. It is your Christian beliefs that are a problem to him, but he is masking his complaint in personal terms, rather than openly attacking your Christian beliefs. He is not knowledgeable enough to attempt to refute Christianity, nor can he stumble you in regards to science, so he is attacking you on a personal basis. Recently, I've come to the opinion that it is the sin (demon) of PRIDE that drives the unbeliever, especially the scoffers and mockers. Like Satan, they have become PROUD of their stance against God, yet some small flicker of doubt lingers, so they scoff and mock at Christianity, while sadly and secretly hoping to be converted, but it is PRIDE that is behind the disbelief and driving the disbelief. Satan is goading this poor man to perform what he believes is a "mission" or "assignment" to "expose" the "truth". He truly is in Satan's grip. I believe you expertly and civily refuted his claims.
I agree!
I absolutely agree with you, also.
I would just like to add that Dr Ausman needs prayers...for his release from the grips of Satan.

@Robert-ct6bc lol, that issue has been completely eviscerated in another video.
Stop repeating fasle accusations.
@Robert-ct6bc HAHA. I assume by "Tour did damage control" you mean the work of C. Fred Higgs III, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Director at Rice University, who examined the alleged plagiarism and said, and I quote: "the claim was weak and baseless"...
@Robert-ct6bc "I wanted to more formally clarify that my office did receive a specific allegation of plagiarism, however we already thoroughly investigated, checked, compared and determined that the allegation was baseless. We further assess that it was a retaliatory attack based on your Christianity, and were ready to close this matter once we got the complainant to admit it, and voluntarily withdraw from their complaint.
However in the course of our investigation, we uncovered the collaborations between XXXX and Dr Barron, and we found the complainant was simply repeating statements attributed to Dr Barron.
Because Barron's involvement gives a false air of credibility, we believe that this situation will arise again, and want to pit something in place to ensure this is handled properly going forward.
My reaching out was not to investigate plagiarism, that investigation was already concluded, and the complainant admitted to their prejudiced actions. It was to figure out how to best deal with this retaliatory allegation, and other bigotry-based allegations that are likely to be levied against you in the future. We do not want injustice to go unchecked.

I think Jim is one of the most humble and gracious people I've met. I wrote him an email a while back concerning a disagreement I had with him about the Vax. I am a total nobody not a scientist or prof or anything. Contrary to the accusations being hurled Dr. Tour was very gracious and kind in his response even though I was challenging things he had said. He certainly wasn't rude or vindictive at all. It was my experience that Jim was absolutely conducting himself in a manor that was consistent with his Christian beliefs and values. Personally I find attacks in his character to be petty and disgusting and just pathetic. You can see in every video he makes that he is objective, logical and genuinely interested in the pursuit of Truth contrary to the people attacking him who only seem interested in their own personal glorification and virtue signaling. I don't always agree with everything Dr. Tour says but I respect him and I never doubt his integrity. I hope I get to meet him and shake his hand and thank him in person for all his wonderful videos.
What was the disagreement about the Vax? Just curious.

I am also amazed and grateful to Rice for not having the typically college bias against a Christian and giving you all that you need to conduct your research while you have the freedom of religion and to practice it as you see fit.
Hang in there Jim. Your life, your testimony, your work with science and your love of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fellow scientists and students is a testimony to your character. I recall a comment made by our Master when He said, I came to give sight to the blind and to blind those who say they can see. Seems like Kevin Ausman has been blinded to the truth. We will keep praying for his soul, that he will come to know the Holy and victorious Trinity.
This attack on Dr. Tour seems to be an egregious exercise in petty slander and lies unbecoming a professional even though we all know the pettiness so prevalent in many aspects of life. Sad that Dr. Tour has to address such garbage. BTW, I loved hearing of the stories of Dr. Smalley's encounters with Dr. Tour and Dr. Ross.
This BS needs to be address. Lying tongues are dangerous.
I'm glad we have a believer who does not shirk or cringe when it comes to standing up for himself against these unwarranted and obviously ill conceived attacks.
I am also glad and proud we have a scientist who publicly pushes effectively and honestly for more truth in the public dispensation of scientific claims, which most or all of us have understood for some time are often lies and bs.
You inspire so many of us. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing this message with everyone Dr Tour. This has been wonderful.
Dr. Tour, this is a fantastic rebuttal. Very procedurally dismantled by sticking to the facts and speaking to the direct players involved. If Dr. Ausman holds to his original talking points, he is in denial, and I hope he offers an apology.
These People need Prayers,
IN life, there are always People with Different natures, and Personalities and different agendas!
Being Gracious and Loving is Gods Command! 🎉
I pray that I would have your patience and calmness towards those that come against me. You are awesome Dr. TOUR! GOD BLESS!
Good for you Sir. How the righteous are persecuted . May God continue to strengthen you.
I once heard advice…”Don't spend your time defending yourself. Let God defend you and those closest to you defend you. You can spend your whole life dispelling rumors.”
What a complete decimation this was!
If I was Ausman I’d be so embarrassed and if Farina has a shred of decency, he’d take down the video or Ausman should demand it.
To say what he said about someone else’s funeral from nearly 20 years ago is absolutely disgusting! Just because he’s an atheist and doesn’t like religion?? He must hate 99% of all funeral then. The basis for all is claims about Tour being involved were eviscerated by Smalley’s own wife!
God has blessed us so much with people like James that it's hard to fathom why he loves us so much. He's ordained that certain people, at certain times, would rise to point us to Him. The Christ. In All Things God is blessed - in All Things he is glorified. Thank you Dr. Tour for serving so well. It is obvious that you are a Faithful Servant. I wonder how many more will be there to celebrate The Christ as a result of your Love for your King?
Goodness. There seems to be at the very least, a lot of insecurity going on with this person, Kevin. And of course, he has good reason to feel this way, but not to take it out on others.
God bless, and keep you James.
You are a Hero to me and my family! May God Continue to Bless You Abundantly.
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." - 2 Timothy 3:12
To God the glory for mighty men like Dr Tour and for protecting him.
Rice’s James Tour named to National Academy of Engineering
Professor honored for work on “novel forms of carbon”
Rice University chemist James Tour was named to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), one of the highest professional distinctions accorded “in recognition of distinguished contributions” to the field.
Pure evil on Kevin's behalf. Appreciate this JT, I was hoping you would respond to these allegations. You went above and beyond my expectations.
In body language science, that man does not like the taste of the lies he's telling. What a sad bitter man.
David beseeching God with prayer for his enemies who unjustly accuse him are so appropriate, Dr. Tour. We will pray as well. 🙏🏻❤️
Dr Tour, I have deep admiration for the humility you displayed, in firstly giving thought to the accusations brought against you by Dr Ausman.
Secondly, for extending yourself to address these fallacious commentary.
I believe that this attempt to cast aspersions on your works only solidifies your posture in the field academia as a giant and a man of truth.
I thank God for entrusting you with heavenly secrets to make known to us as we marvel and delight in His grandeur.
I pray for your courage in that you press on in your pursuit of knowing the beauty of our Creator and further revealing His majesty.
As a Veterinarian who has viewed Dr. Tour's pod and lecture videos. I was amazed over a synthetic Organic Chemistry a field I was recently acquainted with. Between his Integrity and Academic rigor and citation index and Academic , I would prefer his Faith in the Scientific Method rather than the blind subservience to Primary Sources of Literature that has been revised over and over again simply because it does not support of Life, until now haven't been able to produce a fully functional Eukaryotic cell. And stick and ball models? That was already standard during my subjects in Organic Chemistry!Ball and stick models are three-dimensional models where atoms are represented by spheres of different colors and bonds are represented by sticks between the spheres, with the addition of upbeat music has made kids relate to it. Therefore, why not? IfThere, any doubts as to the agenda of this hostility against Christians who happen to be scientists is simply disengenuous, simply: outstandingly bad. I will subscribe to the Scientific compatibility of men of faith vis-a vis the Scientific Method, based on Meritocracy.
