The Impossible Problem of the Origin of Life - Dr. Don Batten

People all over the world are taught that everything in nature—including life itself—is the result of purely natural processes. Is this right? Did life form itself? Is that even possible? What would it take? What ingredients would the simplest, self-replicating life need? Or are people being misled—in the name of ‘science’? Join biologist Dr Don Batten for a discussion of the origin of life. Learn why the very laws of chemistry dictate that life could never form itself—not even in a trillion years! ⏳ TIMESTAMPS ⌛ 00:00 Teaser 00:27 Introduction: The impossible problem of the origin of life 01:54 What ingredients do we need to form life? 02:14 → Amino acids 03:18 → Sugars 03:46 → Nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) 04:10 → Lipids 05:03 Problem: The ingredients don’t play well together! 05:11 → The conditions needed for amino acids are the wrong conditions for sugars 05:41 → Necessary metallic ions wreak havoc with necessary lipids 06:33 → High energy compounds (e.g. lipids) are unlikely to form in the same ‘soup’ as low energy compounds (e.g. sugars) 06:54 Problem: Chirality (or ‘handedness’) – Amino acids must only be left-handed, sugars must only be right-handed 09:01 Problem: The origin of coded information (DNA) in living things 09:36 → How could an encoding/decoding system arise by chance? 10:59 → The genetic code is optimised – and that's not possible without pre-planning 11:28 → The sheer volume of genetic information needed for the ‘simplest’ life is overwhelming 13:15 → Multiple, complex cellular ‘machines’ are needed for the information system to work at all 14:04 Would Darwin be a Darwinist today? 14:46 Problem: Probability shows the impossibility of the chance origin of even a single protein 19:10 Solution: How did life come about? 19:26 → The need for a super intelligent Designer 21:03 → Why is this such an unpopular conclusion? 21:24 Why should the Designer be the God of the Bible? 22:32 Where to get more information on origin-of-life problems ✍️ LINKS AND SHOW NOTES • Origin of Life – https://creation.com/origin-of-life • 15 loopholes in the evolutionary theory of the origin of life – https://creation.com/loopholes-in-the... • Origin of Life Q&A – https://creation.com/origin-of-life-q... • Why the Miller–Urey research argues against abiogenesis – https://creation.com/why-the-miller-u... • Origin of First Life: Chemical Evolution vs Real Chemistry –    • Origin of First Life: Chemical Evolut...   • Would Darwin be a Darwinist today? – https://creation.com/would-darwin-be-... 📚 HELPFUL RESOURCES • The Stairway to Life (book) – https://creation.com/s/10-2-671 • Chemicals to Living Cells (streaming video) – https://creation.com/s/35-8-530 • Evolution Impossible (book) – https://creation.com/s/10-2-643 • An Industrial Chemist's Origin of Life Cookbook (audio) – https://creation.com/s/35-1-033 💙 SOCIAL MEDIA ► Facebook:   / creationministries   ► TikTok:   / creationministries   ► Instagram:   / creationministries   ► X / Twitter:   / creationnews   ► eNewsletter: https://creation.com/infobytes 📅 EVENTS We present at hundreds of events around the world each year.

Grand Canyon, Evidence of the Global Flood - Creation Today with guest Ralph Strean

Season 3 Episode 25

In this exciting episode, Eric Hovind and Ben Schettler share the truth and supporting evidence of the Flood. Eric even replicates a mini Grand Canyon to demonstrate it! Ben’s “apology” gives a deeper understanding into evolutionist’s problem — the origin of life — a behemoth problem that evolutionists cannot answer! With a “Christian movie” hype in the air, don’t miss special guest Genesis 3D Movie Producer, Ralph Strean, discussing the importance of true biblical films.

#CreationDebate: Eric Hovind (#Christian) vs Bernie Dehler (#atheist) #Evidence & #Morality

On Thur. Nov. 15, 2011, Eric Hovind, President of Creation Today, (Christian, Young Earth Creationist) & Bernie Dehler (atheist, former evangelical Christian) held a debate at Portland State University, sponsored by one of the university's Christian groups. There were two main topics: evidence and morality.

The session on "evidence" dealt with questions about the "unknowns" in science, especially regarding origins. How did the universe begin to exist? How did biological life arise from non-life. If scientists can't answer these questions, does it logically follow that God did these things by miracle?

Regarding morality, Hovind presented the idea that morality seems to exist in the world as moral law, and asked "who created these laws, if not God? How could mindless nature create moral laws?" Dehler's take was that morality can largely be reasoned-out using the rubric of consequentialism, reciprocity, and consideration of individual freedom. Hovind wiped the floor with this guy.

Dehler had a hand-out for the audience, showing his main points and also giving links for further suggested research. Click here to see his handout.

Origin of Life - Mike Riddle

In this presentation Mike discusses why the origin of life is a major problem for people holding to a belief in evolution. By showing that there is no scientific evidence for how life could start by naturalistic processes it must ultimately be accepted by faith. Mike also talks about the fact that the teaching of evolution has replaced the teaching of good science in classrooms. Mike finishes by reading from Scripture (Romans 1:19-20) to show that God has given all the evidence for believing in a Creator God and no one has an excuse for not believing.
