SUBSCRIBE so you'll be notified!* In this episode, we continue with Lee Cronin and turn to his chemistry. Facing accusations of being nefarious and of misquoting terms with an intent to mislead, Dr. James Tour corrects the record and shows how Cronin’s own statements ultimately mislead laypersons to falsely believe that today’s scientists can create life. With Cronin stating awareness of life’s vast requirements, Dr. Tour reminds us that Cronin’s autocatalytic experiments have not generated anything that resembles or moves towards satisfying those requirements. Dr. Tour then digs into published literature by Cronin and exposes how the experimentals lack prebiotic relevance, including a massive yield of products, intentional human removal, and the inability to use the vast array of isomers. Peptides in water (really in dry state), sterilization temperature requirements, and unprotected side chains — all such things lead to speculation if these are used in an abiogenesis narrative, agrees a peptide chemical expert. *Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!* ==== *Support us in creating more content across our different media platforms.* *Visit https://jesusandscience.org/#Support to learn more.* ==== Check out all our episodes: *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 2* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t22BWvWsoXCmaXNllbfJ2h7 *Addressing Abiogenesis, Season 1* https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILWudw_84t2THBvJZFyuLA0qvxwrIBDr VIDEO INDEX 00:00 University of Glasgow 00:55 Previously, Lee Cronin Part 01 02:19 Nefarious 04:02 Real Life from Scratch 04:57 Public Perception 06:07 Drugs and Robots 06:57 Characteristics of Life 07:48 Autocatalysis 11:39 Crude Requirements for Life 11:55 Invoking a Creator 12:41 Biased Perhaps? 14:36 Cannizzaro and Formose Reactions 17:01 Reading Papers 17:58 Calcium Hydroxide 19:57 There are Billions 21:30 Less of a Mess? 23:50 So Many Isomers 25:25 Peptide Wet/Dry Cycles 28:12 Peptides in Water 29:22 Peptide Bonds 29:59 Peptides and Proteins: A Closer Look 31:07 Dipeptides 33:15 Sterilization Temperatures 36:22 Checking Lee Cronin’s Work 38:20 A Bunch of Junk 38:43 Next Time: Addressing Lee Cronin Part 03 #abiogenesis #originoflife #evolution Papers addressed in Cronin series: - Spontaneous formation of autocatalytic sets with self-replicating inorganic metal oxide clusters; https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1921536117 - Autocatalysis: Kinetics, Mechanisms and Design; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/syst.202000026 - Taming the Combinatorial Explosion of the Formose Reaction via Recursion within Mineral Environments; https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/syst.201900014 - Formation of oligopeptides in high yield under simple programmable conditions; https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms9385 - Amino Acid Structures; https://www.neb.com/tools-and-resources/usage-guidelines/amino-acid-structures - Autonomous model protocell division driven by molecular replication; https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00177-4 God bless. ~ https://jesusandscience.org Dr Tour's Personal Website - http://jmtour.com Twitter - http://twitter.com/drjamestour Facebook - http://facebook.com/drjamestour LinkedIn - http://linkedin.com/in/drjamestour Instagram - http://instagram.com/drjamestour Snapchat - http://snapchat.com/add/drjamestour WeChat - @drjamestour
