Taking the Gospel to the Heart of Texas Ranch Country

Not a single professor in the nation Not a single professor in the nation would step forward and do that. But what would step forward and do that. But what would step forward and do that. But what they'll say is pure ad hominemum attack. they'll say is pure ad hominemum attack. they'll say is pure ad hominemum attack. Jim Tour is this, Jim Tour is that. If Jim Tour is this, Jim Tour is that. If Jim Tour is this, Jim Tour is that. If you want to have a grand time, just you want to have a grand time, just you want to have a grand time, just Google my name and see what scientists Google my name and see what scientists Google my name and see what scientists say about me. It is all personal attack. say about me. It is all personal attack. say about me. It is all personal attack. They will never address the science. You They will never address the science. You They will never address the science. You would say, "Do scientists really do would say, "Do scientists really do would say, "Do scientists really do that?" Absolutely they do. >> So, I'm going to speak on on several >> So, I'm going to speak on on several different topics today. and uh uh I'm different topics today. and uh uh I'm different topics today. and uh uh I'm going to talk a little bit about family going to talk a little bit about family going to talk a little bit about family research, origin of life and thriving as research, origin of life and thriving as research, origin of life and thriving as a Christian. So, so if you're not into a Christian. So, so if you're not into a Christian. So, so if you're not into science and origin of life, there's some science and origin of life, there's some science and origin of life, there's some other sections for you. So, so hang other sections for you. So, so hang other sections for you. So, so hang tight. Uh something something will tight. Uh something something will tight. Uh something something will resonate with you. Bob asked me to share resonate with you. Bob asked me to share resonate with you. Bob asked me to share with you a a rancher joke that I have. with you a a rancher joke that I have. with you a a rancher joke that I have. And uh if if you couldn't tell, I'm not And uh if if you couldn't tell, I'm not And uh if if you couldn't tell, I'm not a rancher. a rancher. a rancher. I was born in in New York City in I was born in in New York City in I was born in in New York City in Manhattan. not Manhattan, Kansas, but Manhattan. not Manhattan, Kansas, but Manhattan. not Manhattan, Kansas, but but another Manhattan on an island. And but another Manhattan on an island. And but another Manhattan on an island. And and uh uh I was born as a Jew, grew up and uh uh I was born as a Jew, grew up and uh uh I was born as a Jew, grew up as a Jew, and came to know the Lord at as a Jew, and came to know the Lord at as a Jew, and came to know the Lord at the age of 18. And uh uh so it gives me the age of 18. And uh uh so it gives me the age of 18. And uh uh so it gives me the liberty to to tell tell a joke like the liberty to to tell tell a joke like the liberty to to tell tell a joke like this. So there were there were two this. So there were there were two this. So there were there were two cattle ranchers. They were sitting in cattle ranchers. They were sitting in cattle ranchers. They were sitting in the in the airplane the in the airplane the in the airplane and they were talking back and forth and they were talking back and forth and they were talking back and forth over this little Jewish guy sort of like over this little Jewish guy sort of like over this little Jewish guy sort of like me and they were speaking, yeah, you me and they were speaking, yeah, you me and they were speaking, yeah, you know, I have this ranch, you know, I got know, I have this ranch, you know, I got know, I have this ranch, you know, I got 100,000 acres, you know, Big Bob's 100,000 acres, you know, Big Bob's 100,000 acres, you know, Big Bob's ranch. And the other guy says, oh yeah,

ranch. And the other guy says, oh yeah, ranch. And the other guy says, oh yeah, I got 150,000 acres and my ranch. And I got 150,000 acres and my ranch. And I got 150,000 acres and my ranch. And then they look down at this little then they look down at this little then they look down at this little Jewish guy between them and they say, Jewish guy between them and they say, Jewish guy between them and they say, "So, "So, "So, you got any land?" He says, "Yeah, yeah, you got any land?" He says, "Yeah, yeah, you got any land?" He says, "Yeah, yeah, I I got I got about 200 acres." They I I got I got about 200 acres." They I I got I got about 200 acres." They laughed. They said, "Oh, 200 acres. laughed. They said, "Oh, 200 acres. laughed. They said, "Oh, 200 acres. Where do they call that ranch?" He says, Where do they call that ranch?" He says, Where do they call that ranch?" He says, "Uh, people call it downtown Dallas." So, anyway, it's it's it's location. So, anyway, it's it's it's location. All right. So, this is my family and uh All right. So, this is my family and uh All right. So, this is my family and uh uh so on the on the you see right in the uh so on the on the you see right in the uh so on the on the you see right in the middle is is my wife and she's with me middle is is my wife and she's with me middle is is my wife and she's with me today. She she had a a big thing planned today. She she had a a big thing planned today. She she had a a big thing planned today that got cancelled. So, I got to I today that got cancelled. So, I got to I today that got cancelled. So, I got to I said, "Come along with me." And so, it's said, "Come along with me." And so, it's said, "Come along with me." And so, it's it's rare that I get to to spend the day it's rare that I get to to spend the day it's rare that I get to to spend the day with my wife these days. And uh we've with my wife these days. And uh we've with my wife these days. And uh we've been married. It's going to be this been married. It's going to be this been married. It's going to be this month on the 22nd, 44 years that we've month on the 22nd, 44 years that we've month on the 22nd, 44 years that we've been married.

And and I I bet you didn't you didn't And and I I bet you didn't you didn't think that I remember, but it's it's think that I remember, but it's it's think that I remember, but it's it's inscribed in my wedding ring. She had it inscribed in my wedding ring. She had it inscribed in my wedding ring. She had it inscribed when we got married. The inscribed when we got married. The inscribed when we got married. The problem now is that if I don't have my problem now is that if I don't have my problem now is that if I don't have my glasses on, I can't even see it. That's glasses on, I can't even see it. That's glasses on, I can't even see it. That's the problem. But uh uh there's a the problem. But uh uh there's a the problem. But uh uh there's a children. So So uh uh on the left is children. So So uh uh on the left is children. So So uh uh on the left is Josiah. He is an urgent care physician Josiah. He is an urgent care physician Josiah. He is an urgent care physician on the Las Vegas strip. And just just on the Las Vegas strip. And just just on the Las Vegas strip. And just just next to him is Sabrina. She's an next to him is Sabrina. She's an next to him is Sabrina. She's an attorney uh in in uh in Houston. And attorney uh in in uh in Houston. And attorney uh in in uh in Houston. And then one of my granddaughters, so my two then one of my granddaughters, so my two then one of my granddaughters, so my two granddaughters are flanking my wife granddaughters are flanking my wife granddaughters are flanking my wife there. And then uh uh just to the right there. And then uh uh just to the right there. And then uh uh just to the right on the couch is my youngest son Ben. He on the couch is my youngest son Ben. He on the couch is my youngest son Ben. He is in private equity in New York City. is in private equity in New York City. is in private equity in New York City. And then behind Ben is my daughter. And then behind Ben is my daughter. And then behind Ben is my daughter. She is doing her posttock at uh She is doing her posttock at uh She is doing her posttock at uh University of Michigan and that's her University of Michigan and that's her University of Michigan and that's her husband Philip. So that's my family and husband Philip. So that's my family and husband Philip. So that's my family and and uh I'm just thankful to God for them and uh I'm just thankful to God for them and uh I'm just thankful to God for them and uh uh and and they they mean an and uh uh and and they they mean an and uh uh and and they they mean an awful lot to me and and what I'd like to awful lot to me and and what I'd like to awful lot to me and and what I'd like to do is is just talk about a balanced do is is just talk about a balanced do is is just talk about a balanced family life for a moment. Uh I was asked family life for a moment. Uh I was asked family life for a moment. Uh I was asked in 2007 to write an article for the in 2007 to write an article for the in 2007 to write an article for the journal of organic chemistry outlining journal of organic chemistry outlining journal of organic chemistry outlining my life in chemistry. Now imagine this my life in chemistry. Now imagine this my life in chemistry. Now imagine this in 2007 they wanted me to summarize in 2007 they wanted me to summarize in 2007 they wanted me to summarize things. So so uh gives you an idea for things. So so uh gives you an idea for things. So so uh gives you an idea for how old I might be but uh um but this is how old I might be but uh um but this is how old I might be but uh um but this is what I wrote in that article. I wrote I what I wrote in that article. I wrote I what I wrote in that article. I wrote I submitted 37 proposals in my first 36 submitted 37 proposals in my first 36 submitted 37 proposals in my first 36 months as a faculty member and most of months as a faculty member and most of months as a faculty member and most of those as a single PI since collaborative those as a single PI since collaborative those as a single PI since collaborative proposals were less common in those

proposals were less common in those proposals were less common in those days. So, so for me to write a proposal days. So, so for me to write a proposal days. So, so for me to write a proposal it takes a lot of time. So there was a it takes a lot of time. So there was a it takes a lot of time. So there was a lot of work that I was doing but in the lot of work that I was doing but in the lot of work that I was doing but in the midst of that my family always stood midst of that my family always stood midst of that my family always stood with me. My family was there. And so with me. My family was there. And so with me. My family was there. And so what I wrote in this in this uh uh what I wrote in this in this uh uh what I wrote in this in this uh uh journal of organic chemistry this is journal of organic chemistry this is journal of organic chemistry this is what's written. It says, "On the days of what's written. It says, "On the days of what's written. It says, "On the days of receiving the declination of funding receiving the declination of funding receiving the declination of funding letters from the NIH, sadness certainly letters from the NIH, sadness certainly letters from the NIH, sadness certainly followed. I would al call my wife followed. I would al call my wife followed. I would al call my wife Shireen because she was repeatedly there Shireen because she was repeatedly there Shireen because she was repeatedly there to reassure me of my selfworth and my to reassure me of my selfworth and my to reassure me of my selfworth and my children were still there to call me children were still there to call me children were still there to call me daddy. Hence, I endeavored to dwell only daddy. Hence, I endeavored to dwell only daddy. Hence, I endeavored to dwell only momentarily on the harsh, sometimes even momentarily on the harsh, sometimes even momentarily on the harsh, sometimes even unnecessarily personal comments of the unnecessarily personal comments of the unnecessarily personal comments of the reviewers. If I could leave you with reviewers. If I could leave you with reviewers. If I could leave you with something today, it's this. In building something today, it's this. In building something today, it's this. In building your career, do not trash your family. your career, do not trash your family. your career, do not trash your family. It can be the strongest support that you It can be the strongest support that you It can be the strongest support that you ever have. That you balance your work ever have. That you balance your work ever have. That you balance your work with a family life because your family with a family life because your family with a family life because your family is going to be there to be with you. is going to be there to be with you. is going to be there to be with you. Your family will be there for you. And Your family will be there for you. And Your family will be there for you. And I've seen this over and over again. Yes, I've seen this over and over again. Yes, I've seen this over and over again. Yes, there are rough times and there's been there are rough times and there's been there are rough times and there's been times in in my marriage, 44 years of times in in my marriage, 44 years of times in in my marriage, 44 years of marriage, there's been times we've gone marriage, there's been times we've gone marriage, there's been times we've gone to counselors and and and uh uh we just to counselors and and and uh uh we just to counselors and and and uh uh we just go in for a tuneup and and I would go in for a tuneup and and I would go in for a tuneup and and I would always take the initiative and I'd say I always take the initiative and I'd say I always take the initiative and I'd say I think we just need to see a counselor think we just need to see a counselor think we just need to see a counselor and the first thing I would say when we and the first thing I would say when we and the first thing I would say when we go into see a Christian counselor is go into see a Christian counselor is go into see a Christian counselor is whatever you tell me I will do. Whatever whatever you tell me I will do. Whatever whatever you tell me I will do. Whatever you tell me I'll do. I'll change any way you tell me I'll do. I'll change any way you tell me I'll do. I'll change any way you ask me to change. We want to get you ask me to change. We want to get you ask me to change. We want to get this thing right. And what they would this thing right. And what they would this thing right. And what they would say to me is that if that is your say to me is that if that is your say to me is that if that is your attitude, we can get you fixed up in a

attitude, we can get you fixed up in a attitude, we can get you fixed up in a few weeks. You'll be just fine. And few weeks. You'll be just fine. And few weeks. You'll be just fine. And that's always what it was. It was never that's always what it was. It was never that's always what it was. It was never more than six weeks. And they said, "You more than six weeks. And they said, "You more than six weeks. And they said, "You guys are good to go. You guys are good guys are good to go. You guys are good guys are good to go. You guys are good to go." So, if you go in with an to go." So, if you go in with an to go." So, if you go in with an attitude that that I'll do whatever you attitude that that I'll do whatever you attitude that that I'll do whatever you tell me to do, you can you can have your tell me to do, you can you can have your tell me to do, you can you can have your marriage last. And and uh I'm a living marriage last. And and uh I'm a living marriage last. And and uh I'm a living testimony of that. And uh uh so so uh testimony of that. And uh uh so so uh testimony of that. And uh uh so so uh that's the first lesson I wanted to that's the first lesson I wanted to that's the first lesson I wanted to leave you with. The next one is I just leave you with. The next one is I just leave you with. The next one is I just want to give you a slight overview of of want to give you a slight overview of of want to give you a slight overview of of the work that we do because we work in a the work that we do because we work in a the work that we do because we work in a number of different areas of research. number of different areas of research. number of different areas of research. So now I've switched moved from family So now I've switched moved from family So now I've switched moved from family to research and uh uh in the in the in to research and uh uh in the in the in to research and uh uh in the in the in the upper left here uh this is this is a the upper left here uh this is this is a the upper left here uh this is this is a procedure where we can make what's procedure where we can make what's procedure where we can make what's called laser induced graphine. We found called laser induced graphine. We found called laser induced graphine. We found this way where you can a laser the same this way where you can a laser the same this way where you can a laser the same type of lasers that many of you probably type of lasers that many of you probably type of lasers that many of you probably have in your shops. It's a 10.6 6 micron have in your shops. It's a 10.6 6 micron have in your shops. It's a 10.6 6 micron laser, CO2 laser, and it's used for laser, CO2 laser, and it's used for laser, CO2 laser, and it's used for cutting and scribing in machine shops. cutting and scribing in machine shops. cutting and scribing in machine shops. And if we tune it right, anywhere it And if we tune it right, anywhere it And if we tune it right, anywhere it hits, it can change any carbon material hits, it can change any carbon material hits, it can change any carbon material into graphine. Graphine is the space age into graphine. Graphine is the space age into graphine. Graphine is the space age material that's worth very high value.

material that's worth very high value. material that's worth very high value. This is this has launched several This is this has launched several This is this has launched several companies right out of this one one companies right out of this one one companies right out of this one one invention. That is a piece of invention. That is a piece of invention. That is a piece of Wonderbread there. That's a piece of Wonderbread there. That's a piece of Wonderbread there. That's a piece of bread. We can turn the carbohydrate bread. We can turn the carbohydrate bread. We can turn the carbohydrate strands of the bread into graphine. strands of the bread into graphine. strands of the bread into graphine. We're not dropping graphine on it. We're not dropping graphine on it. We're not dropping graphine on it. converting the bread into graphine. So, converting the bread into graphine. So, converting the bread into graphine. So, so it it it has many many applications. so it it it has many many applications. so it it it has many many applications. And now, now just to the right of that And now, now just to the right of that And now, now just to the right of that are are these splitting of carbon nano are are these splitting of carbon nano are are these splitting of carbon nano tubes. This is uh this is a a uh uh tubes. This is uh this is a a uh uh tubes. This is uh this is a a uh uh memory that we had built uh electronic memory that we had built uh electronic memory that we had built uh electronic memory and that's in a company that we memory and that's in a company that we memory and that's in a company that we started and uh uh so so that's it's now started and uh uh so so that's it's now started and uh uh so so that's it's now a public company sells for example to a public company sells for example to a public company sells for example to Texas instruments. It's a memory system. Texas instruments. It's a memory system. Texas instruments. It's a memory system. Uh uh we work in traumatic brain injury Uh uh we work in traumatic brain injury Uh uh we work in traumatic brain injury and stroke. We work in uh carbon nano and stroke. We work in uh carbon nano and stroke. We work in uh carbon nano tube hybrids to graphine. We turn that tube hybrids to graphine. We turn that tube hybrids to graphine. We turn that into a battery company. It's a battery into a battery company. It's a battery into a battery company. It's a battery company in Houston. Uh uh they're company in Houston. Uh uh they're company in Houston. Uh uh they're focusing on on drone batteries. focusing on on drone batteries. focusing on on drone batteries. Batteries for for these drones. Batteries for for these drones. Batteries for for these drones. This is a um this is graphine quantum This is a um this is graphine quantum This is a um this is graphine quantum dots. Graphin quantum dots. When we dots. Graphin quantum dots. When we dots. Graphin quantum dots. When we started this area, graphine quantum dots started this area, graphine quantum dots started this area, graphine quantum dots were $1 million per kilogram. $1 million were $1 million per kilogram. $1 million were $1 million per kilogram. $1 million per kilogram. We make these now in two per kilogram. We make these now in two per kilogram. We make these now in two steps from coal. Coal is $60 per ton. In steps from coal. Coal is $60 per ton. In steps from coal. Coal is $60 per ton. In two steps, we convert it into a material two steps, we convert it into a material two steps, we convert it into a material that was selling for a million dollars a that was selling for a million dollars a that was selling for a million dollars a kilogram. Of course, the prices come kilogram. Of course, the prices come kilogram. Of course, the prices come right way down. What do you use these right way down. What do you use these right way down. What do you use these things for? Uh high-end women's purses things for? Uh high-end women's purses things for? Uh high-end women's purses and shoes, for example. When you order and shoes, for example. When you order and shoes, for example. When you order when you get a purse from Milan, Italy, when you get a purse from Milan, Italy, when you get a purse from Milan, Italy, and and uh they pack these things up, and and uh they pack these things up, and and uh they pack these things up, seal the box, they send it, say, to to

seal the box, they send it, say, to to seal the box, they send it, say, to to Neiman Marcus in Houston, they open up Neiman Marcus in Houston, they open up Neiman Marcus in Houston, they open up the box. How do you know that that purse the box. How do you know that that purse the box. How do you know that that purse is the purse that was made in Milan? How is the purse that was made in Milan? How is the purse that was made in Milan? How do you know it's not a Vietnamese do you know it's not a Vietnamese do you know it's not a Vietnamese knockoff? How can you know it looks knockoff? How can you know it looks knockoff? How can you know it looks exactly the same? Well, we can put a exactly the same? Well, we can put a exactly the same? Well, we can put a graphine quantum dot tags in there that graphine quantum dot tags in there that graphine quantum dot tags in there that you can't even see with your eye, but you can't even see with your eye, but you can't even see with your eye, but you hold a UV light up to them, it'll you hold a UV light up to them, it'll you hold a UV light up to them, it'll give you a spectrum, and that spectrum give you a spectrum, and that spectrum give you a spectrum, and that spectrum is unique to that material. So, it's an is unique to that material. So, it's an is unique to that material. So, it's an authenticator. It's to authenticate uh a authenticator. It's to authenticate uh a authenticator. It's to authenticate uh a high-end items. uh uh the the just to high-end items. uh uh the the just to high-end items. uh uh the the just to the right of that we we've learned how the right of that we we've learned how the right of that we we've learned how we can take waste plastic which is a big we can take waste plastic which is a big we can take waste plastic which is a big big problem around the world waste big problem around the world waste big problem around the world waste plastic and convert it into a material plastic and convert it into a material plastic and convert it into a material that can absorb CO2. So up until the the that can absorb CO2. So up until the the that can absorb CO2. So up until the the latest administration CO2 was a big latest administration CO2 was a big latest administration CO2 was a big problem. I told my my group I said isn't problem. I told my my group I said isn't problem. I told my my group I said isn't it amazing carbon dioxide went from it amazing carbon dioxide went from it amazing carbon dioxide went from being the most dangerous gas in the being the most dangerous gas in the being the most dangerous gas in the world to being innocuous based based world to being innocuous based based world to being innocuous based based overnight based on administrations which overnight based on administrations which overnight based on administrations which tells you that it's not really science tells you that it's not really science tells you that it's not really science none of this was science to begin with. none of this was science to begin with. none of this was science to begin with. uh we work in this area of nano cars and uh we work in this area of nano cars and uh we work in this area of nano cars and and uh uh let me see if this is going to and uh uh let me see if this is going to and uh uh let me see if this is going to run. No. Okay. So in nanoars uh uh these run. No. Okay. So in nanoars uh uh these run. No. Okay. So in nanoars uh uh these are these are little single molecule are these are little single molecule are these are little single molecule cars. They're 2 nmters by 3 nmters. You cars. They're 2 nmters by 3 nmters. You cars. They're 2 nmters by 3 nmters. You can park 50,000 of these across the can park 50,000 of these across the can park 50,000 of these across the diameter of a human hair. That's how diameter of a human hair. That's how diameter of a human hair. That's how small they are. And uh uh they have they small they are. And uh uh they have they small they are. And uh uh they have they have fully rotating axles and wheels.

have fully rotating axles and wheels. have fully rotating axles and wheels. And this is a motor. So you can shine a And this is a motor. So you can shine a And this is a motor. So you can shine a light on it and that motor spins at 3 light on it and that motor spins at 3 light on it and that motor spins at 3 million rotations per second. and we'll million rotations per second. and we'll million rotations per second. and we'll push it along the surface. push it along the surface. push it along the surface. Uh then we we won the first we actually Uh then we we won the first we actually Uh then we we won the first we actually won the first nano car race in the world won the first nano car race in the world won the first nano car race in the world that was held in in uh in France and uh that was held in in uh in France and uh that was held in in uh in France and uh uh uh and and so you you had your your uh uh and and so you you had your your uh uh and and so you you had your your your molecules in a machine and then you your molecules in a machine and then you your molecules in a machine and then you were just sitting behind a a a a a were just sitting behind a a a a a were just sitting behind a a a a a laptop and you were controlling the the laptop and you were controlling the the laptop and you were controlling the the movement of this across a track and and movement of this across a track and and movement of this across a track and and we had to move it 150 nanometers which we had to move it 150 nanometers which we had to move it 150 nanometers which we completed in 90 minutes and it took we completed in 90 minutes and it took we completed in 90 minutes and it took the Swiss group came in second and they the Swiss group came in second and they the Swiss group came in second and they came in 5 hours after for us. So, so we came in 5 hours after for us. So, so we came in 5 hours after for us. So, so we really won that race. We took these really won that race. We took these really won that race. We took these nanom machines and we also use them to nanom machines and we also use them to nanom machines and we also use them to drill into cells. So, we use them to drill into cells. So, we use them to drill into cells. So, we use them to drill into cancer cells to kill them and drill into cancer cells to kill them and drill into cancer cells to kill them and we use them to drill into super we use them to drill into super we use them to drill into super bacteria. Now, this is a whole new area bacteria. Now, this is a whole new area bacteria. Now, this is a whole new area for us where we started a company around for us where we started a company around for us where we started a company around us. We can take any carbon material, put us. We can take any carbon material, put us. We can take any carbon material, put a high voltage and high current across a high voltage and high current across a high voltage and high current across it and we'll turn it into graphine. it and we'll turn it into graphine. it and we'll turn it into graphine. Graphine uh uh was was running for Graphine uh uh was was running for Graphine uh uh was was running for $60,000 a ton. So you can take any car.

$60,000 a ton. So you can take any car. $60,000 a ton. So you can take any car. You take coal. Boom. Flash it. And it's You take coal. Boom. Flash it. And it's You take coal. Boom. Flash it. And it's it goes it it boom. It's $60,000 a ton. it goes it it boom. It's $60,000 a ton. it goes it it boom. It's $60,000 a ton. And and so this is a company we started. And and so this is a company we started. And and so this is a company we started. It's it's in uh Houston, Toronto, and It's it's in uh Houston, Toronto, and It's it's in uh Houston, Toronto, and the UK. And uh uh it this is going into the UK. And uh uh it this is going into the UK. And uh uh it this is going into cement and concrete. It really toughens cement and concrete. It really toughens cement and concrete. It really toughens materials just by adding it. And this is materials just by adding it. And this is materials just by adding it. And this is a whole area where we're using this a whole area where we're using this a whole area where we're using this flash chemistry to take care of flash chemistry to take care of flash chemistry to take care of environmental waste. So what we've got environmental waste. So what we've got environmental waste. So what we've got is is I know this is small but in the is is I know this is small but in the is is I know this is small but in the past 11 years these are 17 companies past 11 years these are 17 companies past 11 years these are 17 companies that we've started with with three more that we've started with with three more that we've started with with three more companies at the bottom that that are companies at the bottom that that are companies at the bottom that that are we're launching now and so we've started we're launching now and so we've started we're launching now and so we've started a bunch of companies around this a bunch of companies around this a bunch of companies around this research. One of the ones that we've research. One of the ones that we've research. One of the ones that we've started which Bob asked me to mention is started which Bob asked me to mention is started which Bob asked me to mention is you may have heard of PAS per poly you may have heard of PAS per poly you may have heard of PAS per poly florinated alkal substances which are florinated alkal substances which are florinated alkal substances which are these forever chemicals. There's a lot these forever chemicals. There's a lot these forever chemicals. There's a lot of ranches that had used human waste uh of ranches that had used human waste uh of ranches that had used human waste uh uh on their land and those got PAS uh on their land and those got PAS uh on their land and those got PAS contamination. So, one of the companies contamination. So, one of the companies contamination. So, one of the companies up here is we're we're trying to learn up here is we're we're trying to learn up here is we're we're trying to learn how to remediate the land from these how to remediate the land from these how to remediate the land from these forever chemicals. and uh uh uh and and forever chemicals. and uh uh uh and and forever chemicals. and uh uh uh and and so so we've spent two years trying to so so we've spent two years trying to so so we've spent two years trying to build this instrument that that that we build this instrument that that that we build this instrument that that that we can eventually put in something about can eventually put in something about can eventually put in something about the size of a refrigerator that would go the size of a refrigerator that would go the size of a refrigerator that would go on the back of a tra tractor and on the back of a tra tractor and on the back of a tra tractor and remediate this land using this this kind remediate this land using this this kind remediate this land using this this kind of methodology. So that that kind of of methodology. So that that kind of of methodology. So that that kind of gives you a background on on the gives you a background on on the gives you a background on on the research that we do and how we've research that we do and how we've research that we do and how we've transition try to transition the transition try to transition the transition try to transition the research into into the marketplace.

research into into the marketplace. research into into the marketplace. So the other thing I was asked on to So the other thing I was asked on to So the other thing I was asked on to speak of origin of life and this is to speak of origin of life and this is to speak of origin of life and this is to to tell you that on this topic to tell you that on this topic to tell you that on this topic everything that you learned in school everything that you learned in school everything that you learned in school was wrong. It was absolutely wrong. So was wrong. It was absolutely wrong. So was wrong. It was absolutely wrong. So this whole idea that there was a pond this whole idea that there was a pond this whole idea that there was a pond somewhere and there were lightning somewhere and there were lightning somewhere and there were lightning strikes at upon this pond and the strikes at upon this pond and the strikes at upon this pond and the molecules in this pond started coming molecules in this pond started coming molecules in this pond started coming together and forming a cell and then together and forming a cell and then together and forming a cell and then these formed multisellular organisms and these formed multisellular organisms and these formed multisellular organisms and then these little creatures started then these little creatures started then these little creatures started climbing out of that pond and that was climbing out of that pond and that was climbing out of that pond and that was the origin of life. Many of us have been the origin of life. Many of us have been the origin of life. Many of us have been taught that the origin of that origin of taught that the origin of that origin of taught that the origin of that origin of life story was not Charles Darwin. It life story was not Charles Darwin. It life story was not Charles Darwin. It was the Babylonians. It was the was the Babylonians. It was the was the Babylonians. It was the Babylonians in about uh uh 700 BC. And Babylonians in about uh uh 700 BC. And Babylonians in about uh uh 700 BC. And people life didn't just come out of that people life didn't just come out of that people life didn't just come out of that pond, but their gods came out of that pond, but their gods came out of that pond, but their gods came out of that pond as well. It is a bunch of utter pond as well. It is a bunch of utter pond as well. It is a bunch of utter nonsense. So that's what I'm going to nonsense. So that's what I'm going to nonsense. So that's what I'm going to take you through to show you how take you through to show you how take you through to show you how nonsensical that is. So uh the nonsensical that is. So uh the nonsensical that is. So uh the definition of abiogenesis abiogenesis is definition of abiogenesis abiogenesis is definition of abiogenesis abiogenesis is the origin of life from hh uh from from the origin of life from hh uh from from the origin of life from hh uh from from non-living matter. To construct any non-living matter. To construct any non-living matter. To construct any convincing theory of abiogenesis you convincing theory of abiogenesis you convincing theory of abiogenesis you must take into account the conditions of must take into account the conditions of must take into account the conditions of the early earth uh about 4 billion years the early earth uh about 4 billion years the early earth uh about 4 billion years ago. And that that is that is what ago. And that that is that is what ago. And that that is that is what science is telling us. But prebiotically science is telling us. But prebiotically science is telling us. But prebiotically relevant means that you if you wanted to relevant means that you if you wanted to relevant means that you if you wanted to repeat something you have to repeat it repeat something you have to repeat it repeat something you have to repeat it under the conditions not using uh these under the conditions not using uh these under the conditions not using uh these advanced techniques that we have but advanced techniques that we have but advanced techniques that we have but using things that would have been been using things that would have been been using things that would have been been available on an early earth 4 billion

available on an early earth 4 billion available on an early earth 4 billion years ago just based on their own years ago just based on their own years ago just based on their own definitions. Now no one was ever present definitions. Now no one was ever present definitions. Now no one was ever present at the origin of life so none of us will at the origin of life so none of us will at the origin of life so none of us will really know how that happened. But can really know how that happened. But can really know how that happened. But can we come up with a hypothesis that says we come up with a hypothesis that says we come up with a hypothesis that says here's how it might have happened. So here's how it might have happened. So here's how it might have happened. So here's the textbook characteristics of here's the textbook characteristics of here's the textbook characteristics of life. This is not the definition of life. This is not the definition of life. This is not the definition of life. The definition of life is given life. The definition of life is given life. The definition of life is given much better for us in the Bible than it much better for us in the Bible than it much better for us in the Bible than it is in a science textbook. But science is in a science textbook. But science is in a science textbook. But science can tell us what are the characteristics can tell us what are the characteristics can tell us what are the characteristics of life. All life as we know know it is of life. All life as we know know it is of life. All life as we know know it is responsive. It has responsiveness to the responsive. It has responsiveness to the responsive. It has responsiveness to the environment, growth and change, ability environment, growth and change, ability environment, growth and change, ability to reproduce, have a metabolism and to reproduce, have a metabolism and to reproduce, have a metabolism and breathe, maintain homeostasis, being breathe, maintain homeostasis, being breathe, maintain homeostasis, being made of cells and passing on straits of made of cells and passing on straits of made of cells and passing on straits of uh uh straight uh traits to offspring. uh uh straight uh traits to offspring. uh uh straight uh traits to offspring. Homeostasis is a is a constant state of Homeostasis is a is a constant state of Homeostasis is a is a constant state of internal and physical chemical reactions internal and physical chemical reactions internal and physical chemical reactions that take place in our body. So that is that take place in our body. So that is that take place in our body. So that is the characteristics of life. If you're the characteristics of life. If you're the characteristics of life. If you're going to have life, you've got to make a going to have life, you've got to make a going to have life, you've got to make a cell that has these kind of cell that has these kind of cell that has these kind of characteristics. That's what we're up characteristics. That's what we're up characteristics. That's what we're up against. So I don't come here to talk against. So I don't come here to talk against. So I don't come here to talk about God of the gaps. God of the gaps about God of the gaps. God of the gaps about God of the gaps. God of the gaps is well, if I can't explain it, I just is well, if I can't explain it, I just is well, if I can't explain it, I just invoke God and then I don't have to say invoke God and then I don't have to say invoke God and then I don't have to say anymore. We are not allowed to do that anymore. We are not allowed to do that anymore. We are not allowed to do that in a scientific framework. We have to in a scientific framework. We have to in a scientific framework. We have to either say we don't know or we have to either say we don't know or we have to either say we don't know or we have to say here's how we think it may have say here's how we think it may have say here's how we think it may have happened. Now if you were to to speak to happened. Now if you were to to speak to happened. Now if you were to to speak to the general public, you speak to the the general public, you speak to the the general public, you speak to the general public and you ask them under general public and you ask them under general public and you ask them under early under simulations of early Earth early under simulations of early Earth early under simulations of early Earth atmosphere, scientists have mixed atmosphere, scientists have mixed atmosphere, scientists have mixed molecules together in laboratories to molecules together in laboratories to molecules together in laboratories to produce complex life forms such as

produce complex life forms such as produce complex life forms such as frogs. 30% of the general public 35% of frogs. 30% of the general public 35% of frogs. 30% of the general public 35% of the general public believes that that the general public believes that that the general public believes that that statement is true. It is totally false. statement is true. It is totally false. statement is true. It is totally false. We have not we don't know how to do We have not we don't know how to do We have not we don't know how to do that. Second question. Under simulation that. Second question. Under simulation that. Second question. Under simulation of early Earth's atmosphere, scientists of early Earth's atmosphere, scientists of early Earth's atmosphere, scientists have mixed molecules together in have mixed molecules together in have mixed molecules together in laboratories to produce simple single laboratories to produce simple single laboratories to produce simple single cellled life forms such as bacteria. cellled life forms such as bacteria. cellled life forms such as bacteria. 68% of the general public believes that 68% of the general public believes that 68% of the general public believes that is true. That is totally false. We can't is true. That is totally false. We can't is true. That is totally false. We can't even make a single cell even with our even make a single cell even with our even make a single cell even with our advanced techniques. Nobody has ever advanced techniques. Nobody has ever advanced techniques. Nobody has ever made life. Nobody has ever done it. So, made life. Nobody has ever done it. So, made life. Nobody has ever done it. So, if you've heard something contrary to if you've heard something contrary to if you've heard something contrary to that, I assure you that is wrong. that, I assure you that is wrong. that, I assure you that is wrong. Um, so who are these people that were Um, so who are these people that were Um, so who are these people that were taking this survey? And and half of taking this survey? And and half of taking this survey? And and half of them, the the average age was 38 years them, the the average age was 38 years them, the the average age was 38 years old, half are male, half are female, and old, half are male, half are female, and old, half are male, half are female, and 80% of them hold a college degree of one 80% of them hold a college degree of one 80% of them hold a college degree of one type or another. So, we're talking about type or another. So, we're talking about type or another. So, we're talking about this is this is what what what uh is all this is this is what what what uh is all this is this is what what what uh is all around us. Now, if science is not your around us. Now, if science is not your around us. Now, if science is not your thing, I get it. my my wife science is thing, I get it. my my wife science is thing, I get it. my my wife science is not her thing. But we all have to care not her thing. But we all have to care not her thing. But we all have to care about this because there are people about this because there are people about this because there are people around us that care about this type of around us that care about this type of around us that care about this type of thing. So you might have children or you thing. So you might have children or you thing. So you might have children or you might have grandchildren or or you might might have grandchildren or or you might might have grandchildren or or you might have brothers or sisters that that this have brothers or sisters that that this have brothers or sisters that that this has really drawn them astray from from has really drawn them astray from from has really drawn them astray from from thinking that the Bible could be true thinking that the Bible could be true thinking that the Bible could be true because they they they think things like because they they they think things like because they they they think things like this. But uh uh what is the true state this. But uh uh what is the true state this. But uh uh what is the true state of the origin of life? Molecules don't of the origin of life? Molecules don't of the origin of life? Molecules don't care about life. They never have. They care about life. They never have. They care about life. They never have. They never will. They have no brain. They

never will. They have no brain. They never will. They have no brain. They don't know to move toward life. So don't know to move toward life. So don't know to move toward life. So what's the true state of the origin of what's the true state of the origin of what's the true state of the origin of life? life? life? Is is this nobody can even take a a Is is this nobody can even take a a Is is this nobody can even take a a nobody can make the basic four building nobody can make the basic four building nobody can make the basic four building blocks that you need for life. All of blocks that you need for life. All of blocks that you need for life. All of life needs four basic chemical building life needs four basic chemical building life needs four basic chemical building blocks. You need the sugars which are blocks. You need the sugars which are blocks. You need the sugars which are called the saccharides. You need the called the saccharides. You need the called the saccharides. You need the amino acids. You need the nucleotides amino acids. You need the nucleotides amino acids. You need the nucleotides which are the the DNA and the RNA. And which are the the DNA and the RNA. And which are the the DNA and the RNA. And you have to have the lipids which make you have to have the lipids which make you have to have the lipids which make the the outer membrane of the cell. the the outer membrane of the cell. the the outer membrane of the cell. Every bit of life as we know it on this Every bit of life as we know it on this Every bit of life as we know it on this planet, any life we've ever seen, which planet, any life we've ever seen, which planet, any life we've ever seen, which has only been on this planet and no has only been on this planet and no has only been on this planet and no other planet that we found, always has other planet that we found, always has other planet that we found, always has these four molecules. Nobody's ever been these four molecules. Nobody's ever been these four molecules. Nobody's ever been able to make these using a prebiotic able to make these using a prebiotic able to make these using a prebiotic method. You can make these using modern method. You can make these using modern method. You can make these using modern methods, but you can't make these using methods, but you can't make these using methods, but you can't make these using prebiotic methods. So, how could these prebiotic methods. So, how could these prebiotic methods. So, how could these have formed on an early Earth? Nobody have formed on an early Earth? Nobody have formed on an early Earth? Nobody knows. There's an effect here called knows. There's an effect here called knows. There's an effect here called chyroinduced spin cell theory. Every chyroinduced spin cell theory. Every chyroinduced spin cell theory. Every molecule, so I know some of you are molecule, so I know some of you are molecule, so I know some of you are scientists in here, every molecule in scientists in here, every molecule in scientists in here, every molecule in biology has a handedness. So just like biology has a handedness. So just like biology has a handedness. So just like my right hand and my left hand are my right hand and my left hand are my right hand and my left hand are mirror images of one another. In other mirror images of one another. In other mirror images of one another. In other words, if I pull my right hand up to a words, if I pull my right hand up to a words, if I pull my right hand up to a mirror and I look at what I see in the mirror and I look at what I see in the mirror and I look at what I see in the mirror, it will look like my left hand.

mirror, it will look like my left hand. mirror, it will look like my left hand. That's why my right hand does not fit That's why my right hand does not fit That's why my right hand does not fit into a left-handed glove. into a left-handed glove. into a left-handed glove. This is called a chyal environment. This is called a chyal environment. This is called a chyal environment. Every molecule almost every molecule in Every molecule almost every molecule in Every molecule almost every molecule in our body is chyal. You come with the our body is chyal. You come with the our body is chyal. You come with the wrong mirror image. It cannot work. wrong mirror image. It cannot work. wrong mirror image. It cannot work. This had to have been formed at the This had to have been formed at the This had to have been formed at the origin of life because of a phenomenon origin of life because of a phenomenon origin of life because of a phenomenon called chyroinduced spin selectivity. If called chyroinduced spin selectivity. If called chyroinduced spin selectivity. If you do not believe in the physical you do not believe in the physical you do not believe in the physical resurrection of [music] Jesus Christ, resurrection of [music] Jesus Christ, resurrection of [music] Jesus Christ, send me an email tour.org send me an email tour.org send me an email tour.org [music] [music] [music] and we will get together and I will and we will get together and I will and we will get together and I will share with you about why I embrace the share with you about why I embrace the share with you about why I embrace the resurrection of Jesus. People will say, resurrection of Jesus. People will say, resurrection of Jesus. People will say, "Oh, these molecules can come in "Oh, these molecules can come in "Oh, these molecules can come in meteorites." They can, but they come in meteorites." They can, but they come in meteorites." They can, but they come in very small amounts and they're all mixed very small amounts and they're all mixed very small amounts and they're all mixed together. They're totally useless to together. They're totally useless to together. They're totally useless to use. And this has been shown over and use. And this has been shown over and use. And this has been shown over and over again. Nobody has shown the mass over again. Nobody has shown the mass over again. Nobody has shown the mass transfer problem. So, you have to be transfer problem. So, you have to be transfer problem. So, you have to be able to do synthesis. You take a little able to do synthesis. You take a little able to do synthesis. You take a little bit of material, then you carry it bit of material, then you carry it bit of material, then you carry it through a number of steps, and then how through a number of steps, and then how through a number of steps, and then how many steps are you going to have to get many steps are you going to have to get many steps are you going to have to get to to make a cell? Probably tens of to to make a cell? Probably tens of to to make a cell? Probably tens of thousands of steps. And you run out of thousands of steps. And you run out of thousands of steps. And you run out of material. So what do we do in a material. So what do we do in a material. So what do we do in a laboratory when we're doing a synthesis?

laboratory when we're doing a synthesis? laboratory when we're doing a synthesis? We run out of material and we look in We run out of material and we look in We run out of material and we look in our notebook. Okay, how did I make it our notebook. Okay, how did I make it our notebook. Okay, how did I make it the last time? Let me remake it. But on the last time? Let me remake it. But on the last time? Let me remake it. But on an early Earth, if an early Earth has an early Earth, if an early Earth has an early Earth, if an early Earth has gone along for say 500 million years gone along for say 500 million years gone along for say 500 million years making molecules that are needed for making molecules that are needed for making molecules that are needed for life, then it runs out of material. It life, then it runs out of material. It life, then it runs out of material. It needs to go back and make some more. But needs to go back and make some more. But needs to go back and make some more. But how can an early Earth do that? Because how can an early Earth do that? Because how can an early Earth do that? Because an early Earth doesn't have a brain. It an early Earth doesn't have a brain. It an early Earth doesn't have a brain. It never kept the laboratory notebook. So never kept the laboratory notebook. So never kept the laboratory notebook. So it's going to have to start all over it's going to have to start all over it's going to have to start all over again. It has no It doesn't even know again. It has no It doesn't even know again. It has no It doesn't even know that it wants to start. Has no idea. The that it wants to start. Has no idea. The that it wants to start. Has no idea. The mass transfer problem has never been mass transfer problem has never been mass transfer problem has never been solved by anybody. You would say, "Okay, solved by anybody. You would say, "Okay, solved by anybody. You would say, "Okay, Tor, you come in here to a bunch of Tor, you come in here to a bunch of Tor, you come in here to a bunch of cattle ranchers and we don't know what cattle ranchers and we don't know what cattle ranchers and we don't know what you're talking about." Look, I have put you're talking about." Look, I have put you're talking about." Look, I have put this out on the internet and challenge this out on the internet and challenge this out on the internet and challenge the scientific community and I've sent the scientific community and I've sent the scientific community and I've sent emails to my colleagues around the emails to my colleagues around the emails to my colleagues around the country that still talk about this this country that still talk about this this country that still talk about this this this origin of life model. And I say I this origin of life model. And I say I this origin of life model. And I say I say this, if you can show any one of the say this, if you can show any one of the say this, if you can show any one of the things that I'm showing you here in my things that I'm showing you here in my things that I'm showing you here in my slides I've put up on the internet. If slides I've put up on the internet. If slides I've put up on the internet. If you can show any one of these things to you can show any one of these things to you can show any one of these things to be wrong, I will stop talking about be wrong, I will stop talking about be wrong, I will stop talking about origin of life, I won't bother you about origin of life, I won't bother you about origin of life, I won't bother you about it anymore. And on my YouTube channel, I it anymore. And on my YouTube channel, I it anymore. And on my YouTube channel, I will take everything down that I ever will take everything down that I ever will take everything down that I ever said about origin of life. If you can said about origin of life. If you can said about origin of life. If you can just show one of these things to be just show one of these things to be just show one of these things to be wrong, wrong, wrong, you know how many people have come you know how many people have come you know how many people have come forward?

If you just took six molecules of glucose, just six molecules molecules of glucose, just six molecules molecules of glucose, just six molecules of glucose, and you say, "How many of glucose, and you say, "How many of glucose, and you say, "How many different ways could you hook those six different ways could you hook those six different ways could you hook those six molecules together?" over one trillion molecules together?" over one trillion molecules together?" over one trillion ways. If you get that wrong, the cell ways. If you get that wrong, the cell ways. If you get that wrong, the cell cannot live. How does the cell know how cannot live.

Well, how do you make the enzymes? Because I just told you you enzymes? Because I just told you you enzymes? Because I just told you you couldn't put the the amino acids couldn't put the the amino acids couldn't put the the amino acids together. All all enzymes are made out together. All all enzymes are made out together. All all enzymes are made out of amino acids. So, it's a big chicken of amino acids. So, it's a big chicken of amino acids. So, it's a big chicken and egg problem. You couldn't even hook and egg problem. You couldn't even hook and egg problem. You couldn't even hook two of them. I challenged the community.

two of them. I challenged the community. two of them. I challenged the community. I said don't even put just put two of I said don't even put just put two of I said don't even put just put two of them together with that orientation. them together with that orientation. them together with that orientation. Not a single professor in the nation Not a single professor in the nation Not a single professor in the nation would step forward and do that. would step forward and do that. would step forward and do that. But what they'll say is pure ad But what they'll say is pure ad But what they'll say is pure ad hominemum attack. Jim Tour is this, Jim hominemum attack. Jim Tour is this, Jim hominemum attack. Jim Tour is this, Jim Tour is that. If you want to have a Tour is that. If you want to have a Tour is that. If you want to have a grand time, just Google my name and see grand time, just Google my name and see grand time, just Google my name and see what scientists say about me. It is all what scientists say about me. It is all what scientists say about me. It is all personal attack. There was they will personal attack. There was they will personal attack. There was they will never address the science. never address the science. never address the science. You would say, do scientists really do You would say, do scientists really do You would say, do scientists really do that? Absolutely they do. All right. that? Absolutely they do. All right. that? Absolutely they do. All right. Nobody's ever solved the polymer Nobody's ever solved the polymer Nobody's ever solved the polymer stability problem. So say say you could stability problem. So say say you could stability problem. So say say you could uh uh say you could make RNA. Some of uh uh say you could make RNA. Some of uh uh say you could make RNA. Some of you say, "Well, RNA just happened to you say, "Well, RNA just happened to you say, "Well, RNA just happened to form." Happen to fall and that started form." Happen to fall and that started form." Happen to fall and that started life. Okay, if that started life, how life. Okay, if that started life, how life. Okay, if that started life, how long would that RNA molecule last? long would that RNA molecule last? long would that RNA molecule last? Because you say we had billions of Because you say we had billions of Because you say we had billions of years. The universe is 14 billion years years. The universe is 14 billion years years. The universe is 14 billion years old. The Earth is is 4.8 billion years old. The Earth is is 4.8 billion years old. The Earth is is 4.8 billion years old. You have billions of years. How old. You have billions of years. How old. You have billions of years. How long would that RNA molecule last? Well, long would that RNA molecule last? Well, long would that RNA molecule last? Well, we did the calculation. last 4 hours. 4 we did the calculation. last 4 hours. 4 we did the calculation. last 4 hours. 4 hours.

hours. hours. It doesn't have any time to do what it It doesn't have any time to do what it It doesn't have any time to do what it needs to do and then it has to find all needs to do and then it has to find all needs to do and then it has to find all the canonical amino acids to start the canonical amino acids to start the canonical amino acids to start making things out of it. It doesn't making things out of it. It doesn't making things out of it. It doesn't last. I published a paper on this. last. I published a paper on this. last. I published a paper on this. Nobody has contested the work. Nobody has contested the work. Nobody has contested the work. Uh so nobody has shown this. This this Uh so nobody has shown this. This this Uh so nobody has shown this. This this is amazing problem. So if you have if if is amazing problem. So if you have if if is amazing problem. So if you have if if you had just a polyeptide protein what you had just a polyeptide protein what you had just a polyeptide protein what happens is every enzyme we have it folds happens is every enzyme we have it folds happens is every enzyme we have it folds up into a shape and that shape becomes up into a shape and that shape becomes up into a shape and that shape becomes the shape that does certain sorts of the shape that does certain sorts of the shape that does certain sorts of chemistry. So when you eat when you eat chemistry. So when you eat when you eat chemistry. So when you eat when you eat that that uh that lunch like you did that that uh that lunch like you did that that uh that lunch like you did today within a few hours those molecules today within a few hours those molecules today within a few hours those molecules are broken down and it will take those are broken down and it will take those are broken down and it will take those same amino acids from that piece of same amino acids from that piece of same amino acids from that piece of steak that you ate and it will be a part steak that you ate and it will be a part steak that you ate and it will be a part of your ear within a few hours. And of your ear within a few hours. And of your ear within a few hours. And you're like how does that happen? you're like how does that happen? you're like how does that happen? Because we have these little enzymes in Because we have these little enzymes in Because we have these little enzymes in our body which are little nanom machines our body which are little nanom machines our body which are little nanom machines and they deconstruct it and they and they deconstruct it and they and they deconstruct it and they reconstruct it where our bodies need it. reconstruct it where our bodies need it. reconstruct it where our bodies need it. The reason we eat carbon-based compounds The reason we eat carbon-based compounds The reason we eat carbon-based compounds like that steak and like those French like that steak and like those French like that steak and like those French fries is because we're made out of fries is because we're made out of fries is because we're made out of carbon. If we were made out of silicon, carbon. If we were made out of silicon, carbon. If we were made out of silicon, we'd be eating sand. I mean, we'd be we'd be eating sand. I mean, we'd be we'd be eating sand. I mean, we'd be eating other things. And so what happens eating other things. And so what happens eating other things. And so what happens is that becomes part of your of your is that becomes part of your of your is that becomes part of your of your body. and and uh uh if you just had the body. and and uh uh if you just had the body. and and uh uh if you just had the the amino acids in a row, how could it the amino acids in a row, how could it the amino acids in a row, how could it fold up? If it was on its own, it would fold up? If it was on its own, it would fold up? If it was on its own, it would still be thrashing about even after 14 still be thrashing about even after 14 still be thrashing about even after 14 billion years of the universe. It would billion years of the universe. It would billion years of the universe. It would never find how to fold it. In nature, never find how to fold it. In nature, never find how to fold it. In nature, what happens in biological systems is what happens in biological systems is what happens in biological systems is you have folders, other enzymes which you have folders, other enzymes which you have folders, other enzymes which come in and help it to fold up into the

come in and help it to fold up into the come in and help it to fold up into the right shape so they can be used. And you right shape so they can be used. And you right shape so they can be used. And you say, well, well, who folded the fold? say, well, well, who folded the fold? say, well, well, who folded the fold? Who made the the folder? We have no Who made the the folder? We have no Who made the the folder? We have no idea. So everybody's lost on this thing. idea. So everybody's lost on this thing. idea. So everybody's lost on this thing. There there's actually a much bigger There there's actually a much bigger There there's actually a much bigger problem. That's the levthal 2.0 problem. problem. That's the levthal 2.0 problem. problem. That's the levthal 2.0 problem. In every one of our cells, there are In every one of our cells, there are In every one of our cells, there are non-coovalent interactions. So the non-coovalent interactions. So the non-coovalent interactions. So the molecules are kind of lined up next to molecules are kind of lined up next to molecules are kind of lined up next to each other. And this alignment is really each other. And this alignment is really each other. And this alignment is really important because what happens is what a important because what happens is what a important because what happens is what a cell does is it it then takes half of cell does is it it then takes half of cell does is it it then takes half of it, puts it on this side, half of it, it, puts it on this side, half of it, it, puts it on this side, half of it, puts it on that side, and then the cell puts it on that side, and then the cell puts it on that side, and then the cell necks down in the middle and splits into necks down in the middle and splits into necks down in the middle and splits into two cells. And that's how things grow. two cells. And that's how things grow. two cells. And that's how things grow. So all your cattle grow they that it So all your cattle grow they that it So all your cattle grow they that it starts out as as a as as as a a single starts out as as a as as as a a single starts out as as a as as as a a single cell which divides and divides and cell which divides and divides and cell which divides and divides and divides and then you get you have this divides and then you get you have this divides and then you get you have this embryo and then you have this big big embryo and then you have this big big embryo and then you have this big big you know $100,000 animal come walking you know $100,000 animal come walking you know $100,000 animal come walking right through here. How does that right through here. How does that right through here. How does that happen? And and and it it happens happen? And and and it it happens happen? And and and it it happens because because uh these these cells because because uh these these cells because because uh these these cells keep dividing and all this information keep dividing and all this information keep dividing and all this information is is split between the two sides. But is is split between the two sides. But is is split between the two sides. But all this non-coovvealent a inter all this non-coovvealent a inter all this non-coovvealent a inter interaction where what is the source of interaction where what is the source of interaction where what is the source of this? Where did it first start? If you this? Where did it first start? If you this? Where did it first start? If you just look at the protein protein just look at the protein protein just look at the protein protein interactions, not the protein interactions, not the protein interactions, not the protein carbohydrate interactions, not the the carbohydrate interactions, not the the carbohydrate interactions, not the the protein DNA and just protein protein in protein DNA and just protein protein in protein DNA and just protein protein in a very simple cell of yeast, there are a very simple cell of yeast, there are a very simple cell of yeast, there are 10 to the I I can't read that number.

10 to the I I can't read that number. 10 to the I I can't read that number. That's too small. 10 to the 79 billion. That's too small. 10 to the 79 billion. That's too small. 10 to the 79 billion. 10 to the 79 billion. That is a number 10 to the 79 billion. That is a number 10 to the 79 billion. That is a number one with 79 billion zeros after it. That one with 79 billion zeros after it. That one with 79 billion zeros after it. That is a crazy crazy big number. is a crazy crazy big number. is a crazy crazy big number. And and uh uh if you if you stacked And and uh uh if you if you stacked And and uh uh if you if you stacked sheets of paper just a pile of paper sheets of paper just a pile of paper sheets of paper just a pile of paper from here to the sun that that is only from here to the sun that that is only from here to the sun that that is only about 10 to the 18th sheets of paper. about 10 to the 18th sheets of paper. about 10 to the 18th sheets of paper. This is 10 to the 79 billion. This is 10 to the 79 billion. This is 10 to the 79 billion. And and uh uh that's how many And and uh uh that's how many And and uh uh that's how many combinations. How do you how do you hit combinations. How do you how do you hit combinations. How do you how do you hit that thing right? Nobody knows. that thing right? Nobody knows. that thing right? Nobody knows. So nobody knows the code. You have to So nobody knows the code. You have to So nobody knows the code. You have to have a code. DNA is a code. It it is the have a code. DNA is a code. It it is the have a code. DNA is a code. It it is the computer code that that runs the whole computer code that that runs the whole computer code that that runs the whole thing. Nobody knows where that code came thing. Nobody knows where that code came thing. Nobody knows where that code came from. Uh so people say well cells were from. Uh so people say well cells were from. Uh so people say well cells were very simple in the beginning. Very very simple in the beginning. Very very simple in the beginning. Very simple. Well, how simple could they be? simple. Well, how simple could they be? simple. Well, how simple could they be? Well, biohysicists can can calculate how Well, biohysicists can can calculate how Well, biohysicists can can calculate how simple a cell could be. It needs all of simple a cell could be. It needs all of simple a cell could be. It needs all of these different structures. None of that these different structures. None of that these different structures. None of that none of those has been made none of those has been made none of those has been made prebiotically. So let me let me cut to prebiotically. So let me let me cut to prebiotically. So let me let me cut to the chase. So so so here's the question the chase. So so so here's the question the chase. So so so here's the question I posed to my colleagues. I asked them I posed to my colleagues. I asked them I posed to my colleagues. I asked them this. Assuming you had access to all the this. Assuming you had access to all the this. Assuming you had access to all the parts in your lab, how would you make parts in your lab, how would you make parts in your lab, how would you make even a simple cell? So in other words, even a simple cell? So in other words, even a simple cell? So in other words, we can take a cell and deconstruct it.

we can take a cell and deconstruct it. we can take a cell and deconstruct it. Just take it apart. We can take we can Just take it apart. We can take we can Just take it apart. We can take we can take have all the lipids, all all the take have all the lipids, all all the take have all the lipids, all all the the the the polyeptides, all the the the the polyeptides, all the the the the polyeptides, all the polyucleotides and and all the polyucleotides and and all the polyucleotides and and all the polysaccharides. I'll give you in polysaccharides. I'll give you in polysaccharides. I'll give you in polymer form. So you already have polymer form. So you already have polymer form. So you already have everything hooked up. I'll give you even everything hooked up. I'll give you even everything hooked up. I'll give you even the the code for it because I'll give the the code for it because I'll give the the code for it because I'll give you the DNA. If I just gave you those in you the DNA. If I just gave you those in you the DNA. If I just gave you those in your modern laboratory, could you your modern laboratory, could you your modern laboratory, could you construct a cell? If you can con construct a cell? If you can con construct a cell? If you can con construct a cell, you know, you'd win a construct a cell, you know, you'd win a construct a cell, you know, you'd win a Nobel Prize. Just go ahead, do that in Nobel Prize. Just go ahead, do that in Nobel Prize. Just go ahead, do that in your life. Nobody can even would even your life. Nobody can even would even your life. Nobody can even would even dare say that they can do it. This is dare say that they can do it. This is dare say that they can do it. This is like doing this. If you take if you take like doing this. If you take if you take like doing this. If you take if you take one of your trucks out here, and you one of your trucks out here, and you one of your trucks out here, and you take uh all the parts of the engine, take uh all the parts of the engine, take uh all the parts of the engine, just every part, every screw, every just every part, every screw, every just every part, every screw, every spring, everything, every piston, every spring, everything, every piston, every spring, everything, every piston, every every piston, and you take it apart, and every piston, and you take it apart, and every piston, and you take it apart, and you put it all in the back of your you put it all in the back of your you put it all in the back of your truck. say, "Well, you know, if you truck. say, "Well, you know, if you truck. say, "Well, you know, if you waited a few billion years, that truck waited a few billion years, that truck waited a few billion years, that truck would start running. It'll just start would start running. It'll just start would start running. It'll just start running. running. running. You know, it just just work." No, you You know, it just just work." No, you You know, it just just work." No, you can shake it up all you want, that thing can shake it up all you want, that thing can shake it up all you want, that thing is not going to run. That's what it's is not going to run. That's what it's is not going to run. That's what it's like. You can't put the thing together.

like. You can't put the thing together. like. You can't put the thing together. So, even if you had it all, you have all So, even if you had it all, you have all So, even if you had it all, you have all the pieces. How can you put it back the pieces. How can you put it back the pieces. How can you put it back together? How does that happen on an together? How does that happen on an together? How does that happen on an early Earth? Nobody knows. early Earth? Nobody knows. early Earth? Nobody knows. So, the resurrection of a cell. How So, the resurrection of a cell. How So, the resurrection of a cell. How about if we just take a cell and we just about if we just take a cell and we just about if we just take a cell and we just let it die? Just resurrect it. A let it die? Just resurrect it. A let it die? Just resurrect it. A resurrection has got to be easier than a resurrection has got to be easier than a resurrection has got to be easier than a denovo synthesis. Just bring it back to denovo synthesis. Just bring it back to denovo synthesis. Just bring it back to life. Just take a dead cell and bring it life. Just take a dead cell and bring it life. Just take a dead cell and bring it back to life. Can anybody do that? None back to life. Can anybody do that? None back to life. Can anybody do that? None of my colleagues would come forward of my colleagues would come forward of my colleagues would come forward saying that they could do that. Can't do saying that they could do that. Can't do saying that they could do that. Can't do it. We still don't know what it is that it. We still don't know what it is that it. We still don't know what it is that that started that life. It's amazing. that started that life. It's amazing. that started that life. It's amazing. So, all of our textbooks have been So, all of our textbooks have been So, all of our textbooks have been corrupted. This is a list of textbooks. corrupted. This is a list of textbooks. corrupted.

AP high school, college, graduate AP high school, college, graduate AP high school, college, graduate school, advanced graduate school school, advanced graduate school school, advanced graduate school classes, all the textbooks and talk classes, all the textbooks and talk classes, all the textbooks and talk about this primordial soup model. It is about this primordial soup model. It is about this primordial soup model. It is a total lie and it continues to be a total lie and it continues to be a total lie and it continues to be taught today. Why? That's probably more taught today. Why? That's probably more taught today. Why? That's probably more of a philosophical issue, but something of a philosophical issue, but something of a philosophical issue, but something as fundamental as life, we have no idea as fundamental as life, we have no idea as fundamental as life, we have no idea how it started from a scientific how it started from a scientific how it started from a scientific perspective.

And science might life? Not even close. And science might someday be able to do it, but that day someday be able to do it, but that day someday be able to do it, but that day is far from today. So as a scientist, I is far from today. So as a scientist, I is far from today. So as a scientist, I can't say, well, we will never know. If can't say, well, we will never know. If can't say, well, we will never know. If you ask somebody in the year 1600, will you ask somebody in the year 1600, will you ask somebody in the year 1600, will we ever be able to fly to the moon, walk we ever be able to fly to the moon, walk we ever be able to fly to the moon, walk around on the moon, and come back? around on the moon, and come back? around on the moon, and come back? They'd be like, "What are you talking They'd be like, "What are you talking They'd be like, "What are you talking about? We don't even have space flight. about?

When the target is moving fur faster from you target is moving fur faster from you target is moving fur faster from you than you were moving to it, and it's not than you were moving to it, and it's not than you were moving to it, and it's not because the cell is changing, it's because the cell is changing, it's because the cell is changing, it's because we realize the complexity of a because we realize the complexity of a because we realize the complexity of a cell. 150 years ago, a cell was thought cell. 150 years ago, a cell was thought cell. 150 years ago, a cell was thought to be a bunch of protoplasm, essentially to be a bunch of protoplasm, essentially to be a bunch of protoplasm, essentially jell-o. Now we know a cell has layers of jell-o. Now we know a cell has layers of jell-o. Now we know a cell has layers of systems behind it. Did you know the DNA systems behind it. Did you know the DNA systems behind it. Did you know the DNA in our cells is 2 meters long? How do in our cells is 2 meters long? How do in our cells is 2 meters long? How do you have a 2 m long DNA? 2 m long, you have a 2 m long DNA? 2 m long, you have a 2 m long DNA? 2 m long, 6 feet long in a tiny little cell that's 6 feet long in a tiny little cell that's 6 feet long in a tiny little cell that's one micron in size. How do you do that? one micron in size. How do you do that? one micron in size. How do you do that? So it's rolled up. It's rolled up around So it's rolled up. It's rolled up around So it's rolled up. It's rolled up around a protein around a histone. And you have a protein around a histone. And you have a protein around a histone. And you have these little enzymes that just pull out these little enzymes that just pull out these little enzymes that just pull out a certain section of it and read that a certain section of it and read that a certain section of it and read that and transcribe that into the little and transcribe that into the little and transcribe that into the little enzymes that build our body. Have you enzymes that build our body. Have you enzymes that build our body. Have you ever had fishing line kind of get in a ever had fishing line kind of get in a ever had fishing line kind of get in a wad? How hard that is to get? Imagine if wad? How hard that is to get?

Imagine if you had something that was a molecule in you had something that was a molecule in you had something that was a molecule in in in in width and 2 meters long and you in in in width and 2 meters long and you in in in width and 2 meters long and you pack that into it and now try to pack that into it and now try to pack that into it and now try to untangle that thing. That is what's untangle that thing. That is what's untangle that thing. That is what's going on in every one of our cells every going on in every one of our cells every going on in every one of our cells every day all the time.

And uh is there a prescription for And uh is there a prescription for And uh is there a prescription for thriving? The Bible outlines this in thriving? The Bible outlines this in thriving? The Bible outlines this in Psalm 1. It says this, "How blessed is Psalm 1. It says this, "How blessed is Psalm 1. It says this, "How blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel the man who doesn't walk in the counsel the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of of the wicked, nor stand in the path of of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of sinners, nor sits in the seat of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers. But his delight is in the law scoffers. But his delight is in the law scoffers.
