       Protein synthesis involves preventing folding and then exact
       folding. All proteins have a three dimensional and highly
       complex folding arrangement. If it is not exact, regardless of
       the same chemicals being present, it will [b]not function.[/b]

       The cell is what biochemist Michael Behe has called evolution’s
       “black box,” its spectacularly complex, superbly designed
       contents unknown to Charles Darwin. When the box was opened by
       modern science, it was a turning-point moment for the
       articulation of the modern theory of intelligent design. A
       revolution followed, fundamentally challenging how scientists
       discuss the history of life. Join Dr. Behe as he explores the
       mysteries of the cell, the limits of evolution, and how the cell
       points to intelligent design. This show is a re-edited
       compilation of the first five episodes of Behe's Secrets of the
       Cell YouTube series. Now you can watch the first five episodes
       all at once!

       Biochemist Joe Deweese explains the topoisomerase molecular
       machine and answers questions submitted by viewers from around
       the world. The interview is conducted by Casey Luskin, Associate
       Director of the Center for Science and Culture at Discovery
       Institute.
       Topoisomerase II is an extremely important enzyme in your cells
       that is designed to untangle knots and supercoils in DNA strands
       that arise during replication and transcription. It does this by
       grabbing two tangled DNA segments, holding one steady while it
       breaks the other segment in two, and then passing the first
       segment through the break. The second segment is then
       reconnected, and the two DNA segments are released, having been
       successfully untangled. Without topoisomerases, chromosomes
       would become an impossible mess, making DNA replication,
       transcription, and cell duplication impossible.
       The carefully orchestrated untangling activity of topoisomerase
       II doesn’t happen by accident. This enzyme is a molecular
       machine that only works because its amino acid sequence is
       highly specified to provide a special shape and structure
       necessary for its function. In other words, topoisomerase
       enzymes contain high levels of complex and specified
       information—a hallmark of intelligent design.
       Joe Deweese received his BS in Biochemistry from Freed-Hardeman
       University and his PhD in Biochemistry from Vanderbilt
       University. For twelve years, he taught in the Department of
       Pharmaceutical Sciences at Lipscomb University. His teaching
       included biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, anticancer
       pharmacology, and cellular physiology. Deweese is starting a new
       role in August, 2021 as Professor of Biochemistry and Director
       of Undergraduate Research at Freed-Hardeman University. His
       research interests include characterizing the mechanism of
       anti-cancer agents, especially those that target topoisomerase
       II. Recent studies from his lab have focused on etoposide
       metabolites, thiosemicarbazones, and natural product
       derivatives. Currently, his work is focused on examining the
       differences between the two versions of topoisomerase II found
       in humans. He and his wife, Liz, have two children.
       Casey Luskin is a geologist and an attorney with graduate
       degrees in science and law, giving him expertise in both the
       scientific and legal dimensions of the debate over evolution. He
       earned his PhD in Geology from the University of Johannesburg,
       and BS and MS degrees in Earth Sciences from the University of
       California, San Diego, where he studied evolution extensively at
       both the graduate and undergraduate levels. His law degree is
       from the University of San Diego, where he focused his studies
       on First Amendment law, education law, and environmental law.

       Is the belief that scientists have created a cell in a lab
       taking on aspects of a religious conviction? Dr. James Tour, a
       renowned scientist, delves into the fascinating interplay
       between faith and the origin of life debates. He navigates the
       complex terrain of being a scientist while holding beliefs in a
       God  and explores how methodological naturalism fits into this
       equation. Dr. Tour's critique of origin of life media hype
       prompts intriguing questions about the current state of
       scientific understanding. How does his outspoken stance impact
       the ongoing discourse surrounding the origins of life?

       When scientists claim they have simulated early earth chemistry
       to create life from non-life, are they being honest? Enjoy the
       fourth and final installment in a series of conversations
       between philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer, author of
       Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent
       Design, and [glow=teal,2,300]&#128104;&#8205;&#128300;&#128300;
       @DrJamesTour &#128330;&#65039;[/glow], a world-leading synthetic
       organic chemist at Rice University.
       In Part 4, Meyer and Tour evaluate the work of chemist Bruce
       Lipshutz; specifically his work designing surfactant molecules
       that enable amide/peptide bonds. By itself, Lipshutz’s work
       developing synthetic techniques for doing chemistry in water is
       interesting and has value. But for those tempted to think that
       his work validates chemical evolutionary theories of the origin
       of life, Tour has bad news. Peptides don’t form in aqueous
       environments like water. A realistic prebiotic environment would
       not be capable of producing the reactions necessary to form
       proteins. And Lipshutz acknowledges this. In their conversation,
       Tour and Meyer discuss how Lipshutz applies hands-on chemistry
       that bears no resemblance to the likely conditions of a
       prebiotic earth. If anything, the work of Lipshutz and others in
       origin of life research is actually simulating the need for
       intelligent agency to move simple chemicals in a life-friendly
       direction. Says Meyer, “Even the modest movement they get
       towards life seems to be intelligently designed at each step of
       the way, and even the vocabulary will sometimes reveal that:
       ribozyme engineer, designer surfactants. Very curious!”
       CONTEXT
       These videos were recorded in Nov and Dec 2022. Dr. Tour has
       recently been engaged in a series of back-and-forth responses to
       attacks on his work from YouTube science communicator Dave
       Farina. This has given Tour a new opportunity to critique
       experts in the field of abiogenesis and allows an interested
       public to better evaluate both sides of the argument.
       Philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer hosts these engaging
       conversations. Meyer is author of the 2009 book Signature in the
       Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design, which
       explores theories attempting to explain the origin of the first
       life. So Meyer is the perfect candidate to unpack Tour’s
       expertise and draw out key insights.
