"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge."
Daniel J. Boorstin
Agree. And in this instance, the illusion of knowledge that something is impossible simply because it is not understood.
Yes, Tour's ignorance of evolution is profound.
General rule of thumb among scientists is this: Smart scientists will happily admit when they don't know things, not so smart ones will prentend they know everything.

Funny red herring 😂
“The TRUTH exists whether you find it or not. The TRUTH exists whether you believe it or not.”
Most importantly when it comes to who Jesus is. John 14:6....Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The thing that really gets me are the motor proteins that move supplies around the cell. Look up the little kinesin molecule, which literally (LITERALLY) walks along the newly formed microtubules in the cell with its load. Mind-boggling stuff, and just one example of His intelligence, love and care. Praise Him!!
Exactly, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." Psalm 139:14
I've always thought that it was funny that we all agree that something like a watch cannot naturally build itself and non believing folks will agree because of its complexity but somehow a concious thinking living thing can make itself.
This is just argument by analogy, and when the analogy fails, so does the argument.

I love how he keeps starting out calm but then getting this steam up...

I am a physician as well as an amateur astronomer with a background in astrophysics and cosmology. This is the most intelligent presentation on the difficulty of life (even the simplest life) arising de novo
A physician or physicist?
Clearly this guy isn't living off government and corporate funding.
The science. The information. The wonders. Whether they be large structures like galaxies or microscopic ones in the cell I stand awed and humbled at how much I didn’t (and still don’t) know. And even while I wasn’t aware of these wonders they still existed, making me feel a bit foolish for such things as taking life for granted at times, having been agnostic for a couple years in my early 20’s, avidly pursuing my own selfish pursuits without any consideration for others, sometimes feeling that God was an inconvenient truth etc.. Gratitude for this video!
Agree that the the wonders of the universe boggle the human mind and it may be beyond our intellectual capacity to unravel its mysteries, but that in no way mean that the existence of a god (or gods) is the explanation, unless “god” is simply a placeholder for “how this all works is beyond our human understanding”. We are more intelligent than a bumble bee and even a monkey, but that doesn’t mean that we have the intelligence required to understand everything. Perhaps asking a human to understand and explain the origins of life is like asking a monkey to explain how a combustion engine works. There is a physical explanation for how a combustion engine works even though that monkey doesn’t have the ability to comprehend it.
@@T_Man-mm9sz so u believe in panspermia
@@T_Man-mm9sz The combustion engine was designed by human intelligence so you're kinda digging your own grave here
*To keep the story short:* “We are unable to recreate the creation of life, because we do not know how.”
And that the "random chance" argument is rubbish
@@dogbiskits only for brainwashed people
When I was studying biochemistry, I was amazed at 2 things. 1) how deeply interconnected and complex were the biochemical pathways in the simplest of bacteria 2)how anyone in his right mind can conclude that all of this came by random chance evolution
This is exactly why ID claims don’t stand up to scrutiny. Amazement is just that, it’s not evidence.
"The problem with evolution, is that it requires miracles without a miracle maker." - Guy H. Pierce
It’s crazy to see how the common explanation given to this question is made to look so simple
We need more honest straightforward experts like this man to be given more attention instead of simplified false or unlikely narratives
Agree. There is no shame in simply saying that “we don’t know” or “we humans simply aren’t intelligent enough to sort all this out”.
I got goose bumps just listening to these scientific process being processed. This is amazing. We need to make this viral!
"We need to make this viral!"
As in COVID-19 viral? Pass "thanks" on to god for creating Covid for us, would ya? Because if Evolution didn't do it, then certainly god did, right!
everytime i study biochemical pathways i get chills , its so complex and so beautiful , i doubt all of that is intially just the product of randomness
Why do you even assume anything about it? If one do, one can just assume it to be inevitable instead. Notice, complex processes does not imply complex rules - rather the opposite is true. Also notice, simple rules underlying complex processes can be, and most often is, very hard to discover.
Wow, im not only impressed with the wisdom contained in this video, but also in the comment section, for a change, and it includes even educated people.
I say " even " educated people because I've had too many debates with people who have degrees in science but don't really understand what real science is. They think because they were taught it, it must be true ( science ). They don't understand the differences between proof, evidence, and simple hypothesis. They don't see how some scientists are very bias ( including themselves ) and ignore evidences against their unproven beliefs. They think anyone who disagrees with the commonly held beliefs aren't good scientists and heaven forbid that anyone who doesn't have a degree in science shows them the logical fallacies , suppressed evidence, leaps of logic, and hypothesis presented as proven fact involved in certain fields of study.
Education does not equal intelligence. Some educated people are too proud of what they know ( and sometimes what they know isn't even true ) and not humbled by what they do not know.
The whole ID claim is biased to divine intervention. It’s not science. Nuff said.
اللي جاي من عند الدكتور إياد قنيبي يخبط لايك
I do this out of love but James Tour is a Christian that has met Christ. You can view his testimony here: ua-cam.com/video/QNGLZvtRoiU/v-deo.html
Christ died on the Cross for your sins and on the third day rose from the dead and appeared to many people; this was to conquer death. It is also regarded as a historical fact by academic historians that Jesus died on the cross regardless of their religious beliefs.
Dear Dr Tour, May I add to the many who have already said thank you, I'm sure that you have and are risking a lot by speaking out the way you do, but I pray that you keep doing so, to the point that this whole issue is brought out in the wider arena, once Again, THANK YOU!
He's a fraud
When i try to give feedback, i look for a way to email them direct. He probably will never see you comment on you tube.
This brilliant man speaks the truth. However the truth will only be heard by those who truly want to hear it.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
By God
100% correct! I would also read the book “signature in the cell”, The book is fascinating.
These are the kind of scientists who deserve to be followed and respected, not the likes of Dawkins and Krause who have brought no benefit to humanity except for myths and stupid assumptions.
Dawkins is incredibly arrogant too
As an engineer with over 40 years of experience in designing things and actually making them work - when I study all the sciences, I see overwhelming evidence of design by a Creator with perfect knowledge and understanding of all things, infinite intelligence, creativity and wisdom and unlimited power and ability. Life is far more sophisticated than our most advanced technology. There is no scientific basis whatsoever for the naive idea that life originated by the operation of purely natural laws.
Hi Sabyis. Is there any scientific evidence that life originated outside of the action of physical laws? [On the other hand, amino acids form stably out in space, and occasionally reach Earth as meteorites. And some nuclei acids form in simple Urey type plasma experiments. Gold has apparently shown that a huge variety of cyclic hydrocarbons form deep in the Earth, and can thermodynamically migrate to the surface.] I see that Tour understands that abiogenesis is a tough field these days, but what would you say are compelling reasons to believe that biology, which so apparently operates via physical laws, started in some fashion beyond physical laws?
@@SystemsMedicine The video you are commenting on addresses your point. Tour, in the video, explains why natural amino acids are not even close to explaining actual life. For one, they are never homochiral. For two, even if they were homochiral they wouldn't even be close to life. An amino acid is just a monomer of a protein. Even if we GIVE you ALL the different proteins ALL AT ONCE when you need them to self assemble majestically, you still have many missing parts such as lipids, carbohydrates (sugars) and many other complex macromolecules that don't just spontaneously poof into existence. Your argument is no different from saying that since lightning strikes sand and creates glass, that my phone was somehow created purely by natural means because it contains glass. Of course natural processes will create certain chemicals, but that doesn't mean it explains how all these different chemicals came together in a designed structure to execute complex tasks and work together very similarly to our own engineering.
You can't build a conscious either. It's good to hear academic people with common sense. I just learned more about life origin from this video than in my entire 62 years including a college degree in animal science.
@@ExtantFrodo2
You are correct in that we are trying to produce in a lifetime what nature required millions of years of chance occurrence to finally achieve. You cannot deny the time scales involved.
I love it that science proves the existence of an entity possessing the intelligence and abilities to not only create life forms but to create a physical universe for it all to take place in. There are no natural systems. Everything is designed and built to arrive at what we experience as reality.
Point me to this “proof”. If proof existed, then faith wouldn’t be required.
Honest and brave. Thank you. I almost have no confidence in the academia now. Thank you that I know there are still people with integrity in there.
Man: I can manipulate molecules to create life!
God: Create your own molecules.
At last a man who is not scared to stand up and tell the truth. Good for you sir
I could watch this again with popcorn! My own 2 cents, as a layman: I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of any natural force (gravity, heat, etc.), that doesn't contribute to entropy. Just on that basis, I can't fathom how the complex functionality (putting it mildly) of biological life could have arisen by sheer, unconscious accident, naturally, in an environment otherwise devoid of any biological life yet. Thanks, Dr. Tour!
You are like someone who wins the lottery, and says "I can't think how this could have happened by sheer, unconscious accident. There are so many people it could have been, how could it turn out to be _me?"_
@@ColonelFredPuntridge Totally flawed analogy that completely ignores the point about entropy and strawmans it right into the ignorant misunderstanding of probability that you hoped it was. For your example to reflect the person's actual point, you would have to have won the lottery without ever buying a ticket.
@@ColonelFredPuntridge Win the lottery with these odds? Well you are certainly optimistic.

Top 5 Scientific Myths popularly accepted as fact:
Myth #5. “Very occasionally monkeys hammering away at typewriters will type
out one of Shakespeare’s sonnets.”
Not true, not in this universe. But it is a popular assumption that the monkeys can do it, a wrong assumption that randomness can produce meaningful stable complexity. But let’s look at the numbers to see why the monkeys will always fail. I’ll take the only sonnet I know, sonnet number 18, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day …” All sonnets are 14 lines, all about the same length. This sonnet has approximately 488 letters (neglect spaces). With a typewriter or keyboard having 26 letters, the number of possible combinations is 26 to the exponential power of 488 or approximately ten to the power of 690. That is a one with 690 zeros after it. Convert the entire 10 to the 56 grams of the universe (forget working with the monkeys) into computer chips each weighing a billionth of a gram and have each chip type out a billion sonnet trials a second (or 488 billion operations per second) since the beginning of time, ten to the 18th seconds ago. The number of trials will be approximately ten to power of 92, a huge number but minuscule when compared with the 10 to power 690 possible combinations of the letters. We are off by a factor of ten to power of 600. The laws of probability confirm that the universe would have reached its heat death before getting one sonnet. We will never get a sonnet by random trials, and the most basic molecules of life are far more complex than the most intricate sonnet. As reported in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, when the world’s most influential atheist philosopher, Antony Flew, read this analysis of complexity and several analyses related to the complexity of life brought in my third book, The Hidden Face of God, and Roy Varghese’s excellent book, The Wonder of the World, he abandoned his errant belief in a Godless world and publically apologized for leading so many persons astray for the decades that his atheistic thoughts held sway.
@@Papa-dopoulos Even better, whole lottery made itself
@@RozkminToeven better, a lottery with 10 to the 90th chance of winning.
Thank you, Dr. Tour. You are a gift in this world of mush.
Very refreshing, almost gives hope that science could one day no longer be abused and manipulated for political purposes and just be used for discovery.
JamesB well said
You mean like it was originally?
There is no sane individual, good or evil, who wants his own scientists to lie to him about their discoveries. This is so because knowledge is power. In our world, it is the secretive wealthy who pull the strings of the political puppets they own, it is the secretive wealthy who control what info, what truth and what lies get published by the journalistic enterprises which they own. It's not science, rather, it is we, whose knowledge about science is gained only via the distorting lens of the media, who are "abused and manipulated for political purposes"!
Almost
If I understand him correctly, even the Creative Evolution folk have no clue about the complexity involved. If 'life' involved a process of getting from Step A to Step Z, you can't even reach Step A.
When great men speak out and with such an in depth knowledge for his subject, you would be completely crazy not to listen, and digest every priceless word!
True, especially when they can claim to be challenged by anyone in their field..
Dr Tour, Thank You for your amazing work, and sharing it with me.
All Glory to God.
Godspeed and Blessings for you and yours Dr Tour.
We need more scientists like James Tour, open and sincere and with guts to tell what they really think!
I am a molecular biochemist I admit creation is the only way.
Now prove there is a creator!
I am an engineering student working towards my BA and masters so I’m not qualified to really comment on this but it truly fascinates me how a great chunk of science is based on a non proven theory. I’m going to look much deeper into this topic and maybe switch careers later from physics essentially to chemistry and biology. Thank you for this information worth more than gold!
I love it when he takes a little breather between his episodes of volcanic 10000% TRUTH eruptions that build to a crescendo then taper off into the next epically crucial question/point being tackled and annihilated lol.
Richard Dawkins "left"
This guy is honest and sincere. He is out of the box.
The first chapter of my first biology class in college was a review of the biogenesis versus abiogenesis debate. There was plenty of smirking at the abiogenesis faction for believing that mice could be generated from rotting rags and straw. Ultimately they point to Pasteur’s beef broth experiment as the nail in the coffin of abiogenesis. The last two sentences of the chapter have always stuck with me: “And thus it was conclusively proven once and for all that life does not arise from non-life. Except for one time when I did. “
Pasteur's beef-broth experiment lasted how long - a few weeks? And how much volume was in it?
10 to the 79 Billion is a very large number. I did some quick tests and calculations. Filling up an 8.5x11 page in MS Word (defaults, with Times 12 point and single line spacing) I fit 3354 zeroes on 1 page. Laying out the 25.5 million pages, edge-to-edge, that it would take to hold the rest of the 79 billion zeroes would cover 320 acres.
I’ve been blown away ever since I first came across Dr. Tour. My wish is to see him on a debate stage exposing the propaganda of the “settled science” but I completely understand why no one wants to step up. It would be like lambs to the slaughter. 😁
...53 thumbs down but not one comment of refutation. 🤦🏻♂️
I started listening to him a couple of years ago, and have been continually promoting him SINCE! More people need to be aware of him, and show their SUPPORT, for courageous & open-minded men like him, who refuse to march lockstep to the Materialist / Naturalist world-view. And instead chose to follow the evidence, WHEREVER it leads - even if it points toward a designing intelligence!
Nice to know some people are smart enough to know how stupid they are. This is where knowledge begins.
Frank Harrod The words
Nice way of putting it. I wouldn't have thought if putting it that way.
That just goes to show how smart you are yourself. Fascinating mate
He is not stupid, he is just saying what nobody knows. People think science know everything this guy is spelling it out that they don't.
It's called humility and seems to be a rare attribute among those in the "scientific community."
Some highly qualified comments below. I want to just say; even if the impossibility of a protein forming in a pre bio soup occurred, tour points out that the harsh environment would destroy it before it could link up to create a cell, let alone reproduce or evolve.
What makes this particularly refreshing is: Not only does he know what he's talking about... but he's actually saying it. He's not putting his popularity or paycheck first, as many scientists do.
Many of them know these things but are afraid to say it publicly because they know scientists who dare speak the truth about Intelligent Design are treated like they commited heresy.
Yes... Lost jobs, careers, even lost lives
Yes, the book Slaughter of the Dissidents details how anyone in academia questions 'evolution' are attacked, lose tenure, jobs, funding.
You're kidding, right? Creationism is the most lucrative of the ideology-for-profit industries!
This man says what he means and means what he says....with passion!
Once I heard Mishio Kaku say : "God is the best Chemist, engineer, physicist and mathematic"

My heart does backflips listening to him, even though my body is old and disabled!
James Tour should be awarded Nobel prize for pointing out all the falsehood in the research of Origin of Life.
This is one of the beautiful things I have ever seen or heard.
I agree 🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Would someone, please call Richard Dawkins to come listen to a scientist that have the answers.
the guy actually spent the whole video saying "we don't know", how does he got any answer lol

You can't listen or what ?
He is saying to you we will never know what about to creat ?!
He is saying to you there is unlimit creater and a stupid threay like Darwin's not explain no thing.
Abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution . Evolution unlike abiogenesis is widely accepted and explains life coherently but has no comment on the origin of life. This scientist himself believes in evolution
That's exactly the answer, most of the scientists say they do know, and teach like science what is just a hypothesis (in many areas)
We humans exhibit all the traits of having been wonderfully made minus one . . . humility.
Therein lies the beginning of understanding.
Thank you Dr. Tour. You explained something that has been overlooked for years. It is amazing to think that most people believe what they see in movies and from experts. Maybe some reject truth because it doesn't fit their world view. I once had this cognitive dissonance, it took time to dismantle the lies and rebuild my world view from diligent investigating and research. Now I am in awe how God did it. You are doing a great service to humanity. Thanks again for your service!

Dawkins refuses to accept that the facts when correctly interpreted contradict his version of the evolution of man story. So a debate with him is waste of time. Besides, he's been dismantled many times already in public debates with creationist scientists.

The most amazing presentation I have ever seen on UA-cam. This excellent scientist has just dispelled years of crap that has been fed to me by the Richard Dawkins types. Thank you Doctor.
I remember this lesson from evolutionary biology and having all the students look around confused like, "this is the best theory?"
Welcome to reality, the best theory is the one that match all evidence, and that's what abiogenesis is.
Almighty God. To Him belong all praise, glory, and worship!! Will Mr. Tour be invited to present this at T.E.D.?
Thank You James Tour for communicating Scientific Truth 👏😊
So…. Wonderfully and fearfully made is a understatement to infinity!!! Ok!
Makes worshiping this creator that much more of a desire!!
Brilliant truth said by brave scientist. Bravo! 👍👍👍
Excellent discussion...thank you. It is unfortunate that "Our age is so poisoned by lies that it converts everything it touches into a lie." (S. Weil 1921)

This is the smoking gun, why hasn't everyone heard this? Absolutely amazing presentation.
The Dunning-Kruger effect comes to mind. Life is so abundant on Earth that it appears to be much simpler than it really is.
Dr. Tour is absolutely correct. Wish I had him as my professor.
1 Corinthians 1:19 - For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

You left no single reason for those who believe in the myth of evolution to keep up with their fictitious theory
I am a born again brother for over 40 year. I have just found the two Drs, Dr. Tour and Dr Mayer. In Mark 9, there was this desparate father whose son was possesed by a dumb spirit. He cried out, i believe, help me in my unbelief. This where i am at. My life has unfolded that my belief needs to be girded up and supported. You( both drs) have my attention. Thank you!!!!
This is awesome. Should be required watching in every biology class.
No. Someone lying about science should be kept well away from children trying to learn science!
Keep the creationists in church where they can't infect others
Except his entire argument is we don’t know therefore god. It’s just another iteration of the god of the gaps fallacy. It will be interesting to go back and look at this video many years from now when scientists have discovered more about abiogenesis.
@@raito1239they’ll likely discover that they’re getting further away from understanding it.
No comments yet, Wow! This is groundbreaking and reignites so many philosophicaly fundamental questions of claims on how everyone and everything just came out of nothing with no intelligent intervention.
It's really cutting-edge INDEED! I'm sure you'll enjoy this quote Mukarram: "All of us have to choose the presuppositions with which we start. There are not many options - essentially, just two. Either human intelligence ultimately owes its origin to mindless matter or there is a Creator. It is strange that some people claim that it is their intelligence that leads them to prefer the first over the second" (John Lennox).
Ground breaking? What ground did he break? He is just preaching his evidence-free opinion based on creationism. This is as far from ground breaking as one can get. IF he did some actual experiment that backed his hypothesis that might be interesting - but he didn't. He didn't do any of value and none of it was new. Ground breaking? I don't think you understand the term.
"...He commanded and they were created." (Psalm 148:5)
I love how Dr. Tour begins by answering every question in a calm voice and by the time he's explained, he's not as calm...very passionate about his field of science, clearly!
I remember hearing a Physicist who said she could never answer the question; “where did the matter come from”? No matter which of the materialistic thesis one believes, they have to answer the question; “why is there something, rather than nothing”.
The origin of life can’t be explained via naturalistic answers, let alone the origin of matter.
How rich to hear a man of God, break down the lies we have been told. I love❤️ you my brother, thank you so much.

A guy at Costco came and told me to watch this video because I work there and now I’m watching this so if your that guy thanks 👍🏻
Dr. Tour has succeeded in convincing me that life is really really really complex. I’m open to the idea of abiotic origin, but not committed to it. Anyone who presumes to know exactly how life started is blinded by their own hubris.
@m_train1 I feel the same way when I hear great minds, such as Dr Tour, explaining the incredible intricacies involved . This enhances my faith and gratitude to God🙏✨
Exactly. We currently don't know how the first life came about. We speculate and we use the known to help us limit the possible answers. We know a lot about the history of life from the fossil record and comparative genetics. We know that life has been evolving on the planet for billions of years due to this evidence. What we do not know is the very earliest part of this history - how did the first cells come in to being. We have detected nucleic acids and amino acids in non-terrestrial sources (meteorites, spectral data from interstellar clouds) so we know that some of these building blocks exist out there and likely did on early earth. We hypothesise that simple abiotic chemistry resulted in systems that could reproduce themselves and that those systems grew and got more complex over hundreds of millions of years. We have a certain amount of confidence that this eventually resulted in some cell like structures such as mitochondria, which were eventually incorporated into more complex cells. We don't know all of the details and we don't know for sure what happened. These are our current best ideas on the subject. Perhaps one day we will know and perhaps not. There is no implied deity doing this creation nor is a deity ruled out. There is just no evidence one way or another on the topic. As usual, religion is a matter of faith.
