*THIS is episode 7* - _Digging Through The Data on Origin of Life Claims - Dr. Steve Benner, Part 02_ Episode 1: https://youtu.be/4rwPi1miWu4 Episode 2: https://youtu.be/aUOZh4zmrXo Episode 3: https://youtu.be/v3A8_ezYlZY Episode 4: https://youtu.be/N_on6LK6Etc Episode 5: https://youtu.be/t5PfBzQUjW8 Episode 6: https://youtu.be/ZtitTE2BavU Episode 8: https://youtu.be/atxmIZw3DdA *Episode 9 premieres soon! SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* After witnessing Dr. Steve Benner's misrepresentation of Dr. Tour and his statements on origin of life (OOL), in this episode, we now turn to Benner's chemistry. Looking beyond mere titles and abstracts, we dig into Benner's data, exploring how it suffers from excessive human involvement, despite Benner himself criticizing the notion. After reminding us of the Cannizzaro dilemma and how time presents a problem for synthetic degradation, Dr. Tour exposes how Benner's D-Ribose was just a needle in a haystack of other compounds, rendering it prebiotically irrelevant due to it being completely useless for further reactions. Nevertheless, Benner continues, claiming a "hands off" approach, but using "hands on" from other chemists, who provide the alleged missing human involvement and relay synthesis along the way, let alone, chemists whose papers reveal they purchased chemicals as by-products from living sources, rending those paths prebiotically irrelevant as well. Dr. Tour also exposes OOL's problem of picking and choosing molecules only when it strikes one's fancy, for example, magnesium chloride and all the amino acids, while abrogating DAP's OOL relevance to boot. Things are not so pure as they seem (and as the chemistry requires), and chemists who extrapolate their claims should simply know better. ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 Striking One's Fancy 02:24 Review & Agenda 03:34 Beyond Abstract, See What They Made 05:02 Benner's Death Valley 05:48 Carbohydrates & Prebiotic Relevance 06:35 Cheating via Relay Synthesis 08:36 Cannizzaro?

*THIS is Episode 6* - _Double-Standards, Lie Detectors, and Inaccurate Commentary - Dr. Steve Benner, Part 01_ In case you missed them: Ep 1: https://youtu.be/4rwPi1miWu4 Ep 2: https://youtu.be/aUOZh4zmrXo Ep 3: https://youtu.be/v3A8_ezYlZY Ep 4: https://youtu.be/N_on6LK6Etc Ep 5: https://youtu.be/t5PfBzQUjW8 Ep 7: https://youtu.be/cL0NIFk1grE Ep 8: https://youtu.be/atxmIZw3DdA *Episode 9 premieres soon! SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* Riddle Me This: _A YouTuber discredits thinking like a synthetic chemist. He interviews three. How many blunders does he have?_ We begin this episode by questioning whether autocatalytic cycles magically wash away origin-of-life constraints, such as low yields, enantiomeric excess, and chirality. We then meet Dr. Steve Benner, a synthetic chemist the YouTuber elected to interview, despite whether his thinking may possess "embarrassing blunders." Looking beyond double standards, we witness how Benner admits the constraints of chemistry and wonder: _If the YouTuber's autocatalytic cycle solves all, why hasn't the chemist simply applied this solution to those constraints?_ Contrary to the YouTuber's statements of ease, Benner tells us that actual (and not theoretical) chemistry is "hard to get to work." Indeed, where the rubber meets the road is key, and there are no roads on Fairytale Island. Further revealed is a false claim by the YouTuber and Benner that Dr. Tour leans on a "God of the Gaps" argument when addressing abiogenesis, despite his statements to the contrary, yet the "Lie Detector" asserts knowing best. Finally, we see how Benner's interview with the YouTuber appeared as if Benner was critiquing Dr. Tour's original abiogenesis series; however, simply by observing how off-base his statements were, whether Benner truly watched the series is seriously called into question. Concluding the episode, Benner's entire commentary becomes invalidated by way of his admission to Dr. Tour when confronted in person — Steve wasn't paying attention even if/when he did watch it. Unfortunately for the viewer, the riddle's answer quickly becomes lost in embarrassment when trying to add up all these observed blunders. == *Support us in creating more content across our social media.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* == See all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr 00:00 Memoirs of a Synthetic Chemist 03:04 On Autocatalysis & Insufficient Backgrounds 05:16 Fairytale Island — No Problems, No Cry 06:15 Synthetic Chemist "Embarrassing Blunders" 06:28 Synthesizing Double Standards 07:21 Chemistry Theory vs Reality 07:47 Benner's World of G-D Problems 09:35 Extra, Extra!

*THIS is Episode 5* - _YouTube Trolling and Chemist in the Crossfire - Dr. Bruce Lipshutz, Part 02_ Ep 1: https://youtu.be/4rwPi1miWu4 Ep 2: https://youtu.be/aUOZh4zmrXo Ep 3: https://youtu.be/v3A8_ezYlZY Ep 4: https://youtu.be/N_on6LK6Etc Ep 6: https://youtu.be/ZtitTE2BavU Ep 7: https://youtu.be/cL0NIFk1grE Ep 8: https://youtu.be/atxmIZw3DdA *Episode 9 premieres soon! SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* *With evidence of a false portrayal in hand, have the tables now turned such that a YouTuber’s agenda to troll Dr. Tour has become elucidated?* You decide. In this episode, Dr. Tour discloses email communications with his friend Dr. Bruce Lipshutz, and we see how Dr. Lipshutz never approved how the YouTuber elected to misappropriate Dr. Lipshutz’s video clip. Dr. Tour’s exposé uncovers how the YouTuber doctored a video to make it appear as if Dr. Lipshutz’s video clip was responding to Dr. Tour’s February 2021 Abiogenesis presentation, which included Tour’s invitation for collegial critique. Dr. Lipshutz clarifies that the video clip he provided the YouTuber indeed was not in response to Dr. Tour’s presentation, yet the YouTuber falsely portrayed it as such. Furthermore, the YouTuber is proven wrong yet again, as Dr. Lipshutz points out that his video clip was referring to peptide synthesis in a hydrophobic pocket, not synthesis “in water”—something even Dr. Lipshutz said would be “ridiculous thinking”. Dr. Lipshutz affirms his agreement with Dr. Tour regarding side-chain protection, and the two gentlemanly chemists demonstrate how to engage in civil, scientific dialogue. With this, Dr. Tour continues his invitation for scientific critique. Contrast the YouTuber, who, despite being oblivious to invalidation by his own chosen PhD chemistry expert/professor, mischaracterizes video material the good professor sent him, while advancing a bulveristic argument against Dr. Tour and denigrating the intelligence of Dr. Tour’s viewers. Even more, we see the YouTuber admit to canceling opposing thought under his social media profile, effectively monopolizing his own concocted science to his viewers, many who may be in search of chemistry expertise, but are denied true scientific inquiry. Interestingly, manipulation over scientifically uninformed viewers and denying science was falsely accused against Dr. Tour by the YouTuber. As the YouTuber once said, “Ah, sweet irony.” ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 False Portrayal & Attempted Dismissal 02:46 Indeed, Let's "Chat with Bruce" 04:55 Ruh Roh, Bruce Never Saw It! 06:17 We Welcome Science Here 07:32 Who Throws Friends Under the Bus? 07:53 Who Determined “Dumb”? 08:41 "Deliberate Misrepresentations" He Says 09:01 Hydrophobic Domain Is Not Water 09:31 "Fine Young Man" 10:53 Responding & Asking Again 13:35 Both Fail To See Why 14:29 "Ridiculous Thinking" 15:57 Bruce Agrees with Jim 16:59 A Gentleman & Real Scientist 17:49 Asking a 3rd Time 20:09 Jim Correct on Side-Chain Protection 21:12 Selected Expert Agrees with Jim 22:03 Bulverist Demonstration 23:13 "Team Jesus" 24:14 Invoking a Deity Scorecard 24:56 How to Discuss Science 26:37 Summary 27:34 "Show Paper & Confidently Yammer" He Says 28:07 Next Time: Steve Benner Part 01 #abiogenesis #originoflife #evolution Tour-Lipshutz Email Communication: https://bit.ly/tour-lipshutz-emails Tour’s 2022 publications with ball milling: - Urban Mining by Flash Joule Heating; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26038-9 - Rare Earth Elements from Waste; https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abm3132 - High-Surface-Area Corundum Nanoparticles by Resistive Hotspot-Induced Phase Transformation; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-32622-4 - Bulk Production of Any Ratio 12C:13C Turbostratic Flash Graphene and its Unusual Spectroscopic Characteristics; https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.1c03197 - Sounds of Synthesis: Acoustic Real-Time Analysis of Laser-Induced Graphene; https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202110198 - Heteroatom-Doped Flash Graphene; https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.2c01136 - Waste Plastic- and Coke-Derived Flash Graphene as Lubricant Additives; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2022.12.035 - Ultra-High Loading of Coal-Derived Flash Graphene Additives in Epoxy Composites; https://doi.org/10.1002/mame.202200640 Tour’s publications in Inference: International Review of Science: https://inference-review.com/contributor/james-tour Lipshutz publication: Amide and Peptide Bond Formation in Water at Room Temperature; https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.5b01812 Lipshutz's paper discussed in Episode 4: https://youtu.be/N_on6LK6Etc God bless.

SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* Something definitely is in the water, and it’s not condensation reactions, but zwitterions. After observing the incorrect reference implying that Cronin’s oligopeptides formed in water, Dr. Tour corrects the record and shows how the reference demands quite the opposite—a dry, 130°C furnace for 15 hours. Reading beyond just the title of the paper, we see agreement from Lee Cronin as well—thermodynamic equilibrium shifts the reaction, not towards polypeptides, but back to amino acids. The “YouTube professor” was wrong again. We then meet Dr. Bruce Lipshutz, a friend of Dr. Tour, who also agrees with Tour, and in his synthesis, he uses hydrophobic pockets to remove the synthesis from occurring in water, while also adding human-made protecting groups to the amines to remove free amino acids and its active sidechains. With the YouTuber’s erroneous claim of peptide synthesis in water not being a problem now clearly exposed, Dr. Tour summarizes how Dr. Lipshutz’s experiment was not actually a showing of amino acid coupling in water at all, but a demonstration of the need to protect side-chains of the amines and esterify the carboxyl groups, which loaded the system for the chemistry to work—something early Earth could not enjoy. *Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!* ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 Dilation of a YouTuber's Initiative 01:32 Email Unraveling 03:26 Cronin on Peptide Synthesis in Water 06:31 Look Beyond the Title 07:50 YouTuber Brings on Bruce Lipshutz 10:48 Review: Amino Acids, Peptides & Synthesis 13:38 Bruce's Paper & Where the Chemistry Happens 14:49 Game Over — Waterworld 2-2 15:07 Attacking Amino Acid's Zwitterions 17:21 Not Amino Acid Coupling 18:56 No Active Sidechains 19:15 System: Totally Loaded 19:20 Summary 20:31 Misquoting, Twisting & Lying, He Says 20:59 Next Time: Bruce Lipshutz Part 02 #abiogenesis #originoflife #evolution God bless. ~ https://jesusandscience.org Dr Tour's Personal Website - http://jmtour.com Twitter - http://twitter.com/drjamestour Facebook - http://facebook.com/drjamestour LinkedIn - http://linkedin.com/in/drjamestour Instagram - http://instagram.com/drjamestour Snapchat - http://snapchat.com/add/drjamestour WeChat - @drjamestour

SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* Concluding the discussion on Lee Cronin, this episode peers into the manufactured oil bubbles from his lab, looking for any resemblance of life's necessary machinery, either in modern cellular life or some prehistoric, protocellular precursor. With characterization data clearly showing a human-engineered and chemically loaded system steered for autocatalysis to yield oil bubbles (and failing to comprise a cellular lipid bilayer), Dr. Tour questions how Cronin's lab and his experiments truly operate autonomously and how the formation of the bubbles has anything to do with biological life. Rolling back the clock, we then watch Cronin present the idea of creating "evolvable matter" in the lab, once the "right chemistry" has been "set up"—rather, "input"—by the chemists. With inorganic rust not holding water, and other reactions yielding billions of unusable stereo-scrambled compounds, Cronin's lab hasn't met their projected deadline, yet the religion of prebiotic soup extrapolations continues to be preached. Dr. Tour concludes this episode with a list of outstanding abiogenesis problems in need of a solution. *Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!* ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 Robots and Salad Dressing 00:50 Previously, Lee Cronin Part 01 02:13 Cronin's Autocatalysis Narrative 04:33 Autonomous Oil Protocell 05:15 Contrast Lipid Bilayers 05:59 Constructing the Automation Machine 07:16 Prokaryotic Cellular Division 09:53 Contrast Cronin's Droplet Divisions 10:22 Marangoni Extrapolation 11:30 Supplemental Data Reveals Loaded System 13:28 Cronin's Definition of Autonomous 13:48 Protein "Magic" 14:56 No Such Magic, Cronin Says 16:43 Cronin's Watchmaker 17:51 Cronin at TED 19:07 How's It Going? 20:09 Blame Also With The Scientists 22:16 Review: Outstanding Abiogenesis Problems 25:04 Who's Next 25:21 Next Time: Addressing Bruce Lipshutz Part 01 #abiogenesis #originoflife #evolution Papers addressed in Cronin series: - Spontaneous formation of autocatalytic sets with self-replicating inorganic metal oxide clusters; https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1921536117 - Autocatalysis: Kinetics, Mechanisms and Design; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/syst.202000026 - Taming the Combinatorial Explosion of the Formose Reaction via Recursion within Mineral Environments; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/syst.201900014 - Formation of oligopeptides in high yield under simple programmable conditions; https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9385 - Amino Acid Structures; https://www.neb.com/tools-and-resources/usage-guidelines/amino-acid-structures God bless. ~ https://jesusandscience.org Dr Tour's Personal Website - http://jmtour.com Twitter - http://twitter.com/drjamestour Facebook - http://facebook.com/drjamestour LinkedIn - http://linkedin.com/in/drjamestour Instagram - http://instagram.com/drjamestour Snapchat - http://snapchat.com/add/drjamestour WeChat - @drjamestour

SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* In this episode, we continue with Lee Cronin and turn to his chemistry. Facing accusations of being nefarious and of misquoting terms with an intent to mislead, Dr. James Tour corrects the record and shows how Cronin’s own statements ultimately mislead laypersons to falsely believe that today’s scientists can create life. With Cronin stating awareness of life’s vast requirements, Dr. Tour reminds us that Cronin’s autocatalytic experiments have not generated anything that resembles or moves towards satisfying those requirements. Dr. Tour then digs into published literature by Cronin and exposes how the experimentals lack prebiotic relevance, including a massive yield of products, intentional human removal, and the inability to use the vast array of isomers. Peptides in water (really in dry state), sterilization temperature requirements, and unprotected side chains — all such things lead to speculation if these are used in an abiogenesis narrative, agrees a peptide chemical expert. *Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!* ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 University of Glasgow 00:55 Previously, Lee Cronin Part 01 02:19 Nefarious 04:02 Real Life from Scratch 04:57 Public Perception 06:07 Drugs and Robots 06:57 Characteristics of Life 07:48 Autocatalysis 11:39 Crude Requirements for Life 11:55 Invoking a Creator 12:41 Biased Perhaps? 14:36 Cannizzaro and Formose Reactions 17:01 Reading Papers 17:58 Calcium Hydroxide 19:57 There are Billions 21:30 Less of a Mess? 23:50 So Many Isomers 25:25 Peptide Wet/Dry Cycles 28:12 Peptides in Water 29:22 Peptide Bonds 29:59 Peptides and Proteins: A Closer Look 31:07 Dipeptides 33:15 Sterilization Temperatures 36:22 Checking Lee Cronin’s Work 38:20 A Bunch of Junk 38:43 Next Time: Addressing Lee Cronin Part 03 #abiogenesis #originoflife #evolution Papers addressed in Cronin series: - Spontaneous formation of autocatalytic sets with self-replicating inorganic metal oxide clusters; https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1921536117 - Autocatalysis: Kinetics, Mechanisms and Design; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/syst.202000026 - Taming the Combinatorial Explosion of the Formose Reaction via Recursion within Mineral Environments; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/syst.201900014 - Formation of oligopeptides in high yield under simple programmable conditions; https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9385 - Amino Acid Structures; https://www.neb.com/tools-and-resources/usage-guidelines/amino-acid-structures - Autonomous model protocell division driven by molecular replication; https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00177-4 God bless. ~ https://jesusandscience.org Dr Tour's Personal Website - http://jmtour.com Twitter - http://twitter.com/drjamestour Facebook - http://facebook.com/drjamestour LinkedIn - http://linkedin.com/in/drjamestour Instagram - http://instagram.com/drjamestour Snapchat - http://snapchat.com/add/drjamestour WeChat - @drjamestour

SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* *Dr. Tour is back! Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2 is here!* In this first episode, after looking back to how the prebiotic soup model is being taught in scientific textbooks, we review an interview between Lee Cronin and Dr. James Tour that referenced a previous interview between Lee Cronin and Justin Brierley. In those interviews, Cronin explained his research—an algorithmic search for life—and how the search is for a semantically different type of "life"—a molecular system reduced to one that can move towards replicating itself and one that can be created randomly in a lab. Given the requirements for life as we know it today, even crude requirements for the simplest life, involve much more than Cronin's reduced definition, Dr. Tour questioned Cronin for a clarification to a statement he made to Brierley where Cronin affirmed that life arose as a result of chemical reactions in a prebiotic soup. Dr. Tour asked Cronin for evidence of such an extrapolated claim, and he reminded Cronin that, even if evidence of life exists in the fossil record, such evidence doesn't explain the “how”. How simple molecules transitioned from non-living matter into living matter—Dr. Tour reminds us that scientists are clueless on that. When ultimately pinned down on the question, Cronin agreed that we don’t know. *Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!* ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 Once There Was A Chemist 01:09 Intro 01:58 A New Series on Abiogenesis 03:13 Dear Jim 04:36 The Hype around OOL 05:50 Three Chemists Walk Into A Bar 11:12 Science Communicator 13:08 Primordial Soup 15:04 Lee Cronin 16:55 Let Cronin Speak 21:31 Salad Dressing 25:01 How Did Life Come From Primordial Soup? 25:53 Give Me The Evidence 30:52 See You Next Time! #abiogenesis #originoflife #evolution Papers Addressed in Cronin Series: - Spontaneous formation of autocatalytic sets with self-replicating inorganic metal oxide clusters; https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1921536117 - Autocatalysis: Kinetics, Mechanisms and Design; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/syst.202000026 - Taming the Combinatorial Explosion of the Formose Reaction via Recursion within Mineral Environments; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/syst.201900014 - Formation of oligopeptides in high yield under simple programmable conditions; https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9385 - Amino Acid Structures; https://www.neb.com/tools-and-resources/usage-guidelines/amino-acid-structures - Autonomous model protocell division driven by molecular replication; https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00177-4 God bless. ~ https://jesusandscience.org Dr Tour's Personal Website - http://jmtour.com Twitter - http://twitter.com/drjamestour Facebook - http://facebook.com/drjamestour LinkedIn - http://linkedin.com/in/drjamestour Instagram - http://instagram.com/drjamestour Snapchat - http://snapchat.com/add/drjamestour WeChat - @drjamestour
