This has been CONFIRMED in Dr. Jack Szostak's LAB. 2009 Nobel Laurette in medicine for his work on telomerase.

It's been 55 years since the Miller-Urey Experiment, and science has made enormous progress on solving the origin of life. This video summarizes one of the best leading models. Yes there are others. Science may never know exactly how life DID start, but we will know many ways how life COULD start. Don't be fooled by creationist arguments as even a minimal understanding of biology and chemistry is enough to realize they have no clue what they are talking about.

Note on how competition works. Water will flow across a membrane to try to equalize the ion concentration. If there is a lot of polymer in a vesicle it will be surrounded by many ions, thus causing water to flow into the vesicle, increasing the internal pressure and stretching the membrane. Fatty acids are in equilibrium between the vesicle and solution. If 2 vesicles are near one another they will gradually swap fatty acids. If one membrane is under tension, the fatty acid "on rate" will be greater than the "off rate" (move to a lower energy state by relaxing the pressure). It will suck up fatty acids from solution. The other vesicle will still give them off, but they will disappear (sucked up by neighbor) and not return. Therefore, the vesicle with high internal pressure will grow and the neighbor will shrink.

  • Who else is gonna have lots of fun chilling with Satan? I know I am.

  • The problem is that it does not account for consciousness. You could chemically and thermodynamically evolve a vessel to house a consciousness, but that vessel could never create its consciousness, because consciousness is not the product of an arrangement of proteins. The truth is consciousness evolved along with matter in a guided way. All things in this world exist merely through that fact that they are being perceived. Consciousness is clarity and it cognizes.

  • @Noah4543 Yes I am. Have fun in hell 

  • Websters spontaneous generation - i get abiogenesis it is defined as

    Function: noun

    : the coming into existence of living things directly from lifeless matter instead of from other living things there is not one piece of evidence for spontaneous generation. therefore it is logical to conclude evolution did not happen and this video is lying

  • @Noah4543 hehehe I never 'claimed to be god :) I am part of the intelligent race of humans in this part of the universe that can and has traveled into space and are we are traveling forward in time as we speak and we are a highly scientific race that is on the verge of 'creating' life in the lab out of DIRT! This IS science and not some type of mysticism in belieing that, "only a god can do these thing", but reality. Sorry to shatter your illusion of the supernatural :) I wish you well

  • @nooneeagle Again Justin, when you "ignore" evidence and the 'concepts' shown by such evidence in favor of a belief that is just as fictitious by way of lack of evidence then all you are left with is showing your bias instead of entertaining ALL the evidence and having an open mind to ALL possibilities that ALL the evidence shows, so once again I show that your bias is at work here or your ignorance in not understanding where the evidence leads other than just your biased belief.
