Origin of Life: (stevebee92653) RNA World

Addresses problems with what has to be one of the most scientifically flawed videos about the origin of life on the Internet (Origin of Life made Difficult). In particular, RNA replication, DNA-or-protein conundrum, and the fact that the Earth is billions of years old

Scientists don't use C-14 to date things from billions of years ago.

You should learn something about science before trying to argue against it.

great video! ive watched a bit of stevebee's stuff recently (not to mention got into a few heated discussions with him) and find him an incredibly frustrating individual. he claims to hold objective science in high regard, then goes round trying to smash every actual credible bit of objective science he comes across. utterly ridiculous.

Great video, I'd like to have the same patience with these stupid people. Very elegant response.

@RespectMyHate I think you're missing something important here, and it's that Venter's experiment serves as a proof-of-concept that there is no requirement for supernatural or divine intervention in order for something to come alive or to be considered alive.

What you'd be looking at is not a car, but effectively a self-replicating nanomachine that gains selective advantages over any of its other brethren in the earliest days. I admit to not knowing what it looked like or how it came about.

The hypothesis for the origins of life are weak at best. There is much work to be done before we can propose a viable theory. It will come unless we cop-out and propose that god made it by magic.

@5tonyvvvv So, your answer is "God did it" ? First, prove your God exist, if that's what you claim, then we can talk.

Anyone who claims a god did anything, violates the scientific process right out of the gate.

I hear a regurgitation of irreducible complextiy in your statement. How many times must they debunk that flawed logic?

@HighCardWins venter did copy life..this guy is a fuckin moron with bullshit assumptions with ZERO chemistry to back it up..homochirality must be established first..to assemble anything u have to separate your right and left handed amino acids...These so called primitive cells exist in his mind!!!!!

imaginary atheist chemistry!! that never happened or be created in a test tube..if life was so simple thats see it...

Excellent video, informed and well communicated.

@HighCardWins No Mr venter just manipulated life.

You even said it your self "Just the right parts" all the right parts had to have come together by accident to get the first life form started according to evolution. The very first life form had to be able to reproduce, convert materials into usable energy, and a number of other functions just to sustain itself. All those parts had to come together by themselves. This is why I don't believe it. Its like saying a car formed itself from scratch.

[HighCardWins]

It is still a new life form. Created by man. Proving that no magic is needed for life. Just the right parts.

You're making assumptions on all that. There doesn't have to be, but could be.

If a god doesn't need a cause to exist, the universe doesn't require one either.

I am not against the idea of creative force in nature, but I certainly don't believe in a god who creates things. Unless you exclude all know religions from his description. Those gods certainly don't exist, imo.

@HighCardWins No the bacteria was already alive, they put their synthetic DNA into a living bacteria.

They is no way Life got started by itself. There has to be an intelligence involved.

with the exception of Gods life. where did God get his life you ask? the answer He always had life, God is eternal.
