The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak

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.

Why should I do that? I've never claimed they have.

But contrary to your lunatic ranting they have created all sorts of non-living environments that have various properties of life, showing that evolution from one to the other is plausible.

[5tonyvvvv]

Name one chemist that has produced life from non life..Lets see how ignorant and dishonest you are..Let me guess Stanly miller, or Craig venter, John sutherland.....HAHA! You fucking pathetic retard!

[JustinMShaw]

You get really funny when you rant like that. "No building blocks for life have ever been produced!" So all existing life is just made out of imaginary stuff, not real matter?

Or can you figure out that you're enough of a klutz with words, with no point to make, that you should just give up now?

[5tonyvvvv]

HAHA! Take your meds you shit for brains fucking moron! No building blocks to life have ever been produced! Today chemists manipulate and engineer molecules through deliberate willful acts of INTELLIGENT DESIGN!!

[JustinMShaw]

Yes, we already established that without your meds you'll rapidly degenerate into complete idiocy. Want to drive the point home some more?

[5tonyvvvv]

HAHA! Show life from non life, Show meaningful genetic INFORMATION forming without chemists manipulating conditions! Oh wait you cant! Another shit for brains atheist on YouTube that thinks the origin of life is solved! Now go cry and piss your pants you fucking moron!

[Guardian9191]

Your opinion does not make sense.

You just made something up to explain something that does not need mythical intervention

[Theovermind777]

While insulting PEOPLE is rude, insulting beliefs is a good sport. Why is any kind of belief sacred ? Why is believing something should be protected from criticism?
