Julia Child cooks up a batch of primordial soup and explains how these simple ingredients produce amino acids - the building blocks of life. This video played in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Life in The Universe gallery from 1976 until the gallery closed.

  • @Weaseldog2001 I think you may be getting hung up on the idea that the first self replicating molecules had to be perfect. The first ones would've had no competition. Imperfect copies of imperfect forms, would still tend to produce viable self replicating molecules. In fact errors would drive evolution forward. As more competition arises, the forms would become more efficient and complex.

  • @neilwani Scientist have since done this again and created even more of the necessary building blocks of life. Science isn't retarded. What's retarded is believing some invisible guy in the sky created anything. If things can't exist without a creator then who created the creator?

  • @neilwani Learn basic chemistry. Then come back and say the same thing.

  • She reminds me of miss doubtfire...

  • I love how she uses her knife as a pointer.

  • Anyone believes this has to be retarded. Molecules coming together all by itself and creating animals and people. She has been drinking too much cooking sherry and now coming up with total nonsense.

  • Scientific Pinch device. :3 That made my day.

  • Wauw ... Primordial soup ... You'd have to be really educated to be that naive ...

  • @milosQaX teaspoons are volumetric measurement. grams measure mass. what did you expect?

  • glad to know she's not some creationist moron

  • She constantly sounds out of breath.
