Evolution: Origins of Cellular Life

A gentle voiced scientist, Doctor David Deamer, Ph.D Professor in Depart of Biomolecular Engineering under NASA explains the origins of cellular life, and shares his view on intelligent design.

Everyone, here is the truth. God made the earth and He made every creature on it. The theory of evolution is wrong. They misinterprit data and come up with rediculous claimes like ape and man sharing a common ancester.

prove it

@ccheng21 Self assembling molecules is just another ridiculous assumption amino acids dont assemble them selves EVER! scientists need to stop removing GOD! From there science! there are major problems such as Chirality, and saying that life flew in from space answers nothing!, it just pushes the problem out into space!!!, and thats some stubborn Logic!

[ccheng21]

@5tonyvvvv why would God care about amino acids when he has a universe to run?

[lokuzzz]

david deamer is a good man, respect.

but i still wonder how any educated man can truely think evolution is wrong and "believe" in intelligent design or creationism.

interesting thing is that creationism is mostly an us american phenomen.

A more ambituous question: why do scientists bother with introducing meteorites as the possible initiators of life? Sure, they were falling on Earth also before life, but aren't the Earth's former conditions sufficient for life to emerge? I mean, were there molecules in meteorites that would be so important and at the same time not available on Earth?

I think you are missing something. The soupists seem to think that proteins self-assembled from a mixture of amino acids in the primordial soup. If true, how do you explain the fact that the earliest proteins only formed from L-amino acids? The soupists try to get around this by supposing that there was natural enrichment for L-amino acids over D-amino acids in the soup. Either way Racemic Mixtures NEVER WORK!!! Please explain how all LEFT handed amino acids can form and self assemble????

@econowage They same can be said for abiogenesis! It takes FAITH to believe it!! by pushing the problem out into space or on the backs of space crystals, answers NOTHING! Where did that INFORMATION come from??? and how did it self assemble??? Learn Homochirality!!

[5tonyvvvv]

@econowage Intelligence is needed to create software code or assemble a computer! FAR MORE intelligence is needed for the assemblance of the first Cell and thereby DNA. A DNA code is far more complex in design than All the Worlds Softwares COMBINED!! Therefore we can deduce Intelligent DESIGN! Homochirality and hydrolysis would prevent life from ever starting! It is chemically and mathematically impossible for a single protein to form!!

@5tonyvvvv Saying god did it just pushes the problem unto God. Who created the creator, since he is infinitely more complex than us, having created very complex nucleotide combinations in the form of DNA, which would take genius luck to have gotten right on the first guess or two (unlike the billions of years that it actually took through natural selection, which makes much more sense). Did someone create this super complex entity, because he sure sounds like he (or she?) was designed.

@ccheng21 "This engineered RNA" would break down do to the unstable conditions of it..similar to rats leaving a sinking ship..This artificial RNA..has ZERO chance of further evolving into a living cell.

Activated subunits are used along with templates taken from living sources..its not a geochemical relevant reaction.Intelligence created life not time and chance!

[5tonyvvvv]

@ccheng21 Atheists are so stubborn, they think this RNA research could happen on a primordial earth..HAHAHA

Synthesizing machines trained chemists controlling every step of the experiment, along with activated bases,which were not made from scratch.and controlled TEMPERATURES!!!! would all be found on a primordial earth???

Yeah this is undirected natural processes..LOL

@giovanni5525 I don't think for that matter that it would be difficult to find a blind man ( intellectually) in Texas. Thinking that the evolution has occurred by chance is just a deep scientific ignorance of the uneducated, unable ( or unwilling) to comprehend the process of natural selection. The science may not have the all answers, but through the methodology and experiments is trying to pierce through our (human) ignorance. Without science only thing left is MAGIC.
