Why did none of the ten origin-of-life scientists he publicly challenged ever take him up on it? Jim Tour, an organic chemist, explains how the confident origins story taught in school is a just-so story — and why even Nobel laureates go silent when asked for the chemical details. He also takes on macroevolution, distinguishing observable micro changes from the dramatic body-plan shifts that he says have no explanation and no evidence.
