Can you trust everything you hear about the origin of life?
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-050422145441-5641222.gif<br
/>The short answer is “No.” Many popular science expositors
overstate the evidence for the natural, chemical origin of life
and promote gross misinformation to the public on this topic.
This video reviews popular claims made about the origin of life
and shows why they are contradicted by the evidence, misleading,
or flat out false.
This is the sixth of several episodes about the origin of life
presented as part of the Long Story Short series. If you enjoyed
this one, you will like all the others. Clever, humorous,
substantive, brief, “Long Story Short," is an occasional video
series that compresses key points in the debate between
Darwinism and intelligent design into a very welcome format:
concise, accessible, and funny.

“Just think of all the parameters that would have to be
modified,” says biologist Richard Sternberg, “and then multiply
that by, I don’t know — a thousandfold, or more than that.
That’s the scale of the problem that you’re dealing with.”
“Long Story Short," is a new occasional video series that

Bacterial evolution and antibiotic resistance is one of the all
time greatest hits regarding evidence for Darwinian evolution.
It’s true that antibiotics do stop working sometimes, AND
antibiotic resistance is a form of evolution. But is this a
demonstration of the creative power of Darwinian evolution, or
is there something else going on?

Life depends on information, but can unguided material processes
produce the information needed for the first life? This episode
of Long Story Short shows why unguided natural mechanisms can't
produce new [glow=blue,2,300]biological information[/glow], and
therefore can't explain the [glow=blue,2,300]origin of
life[/glow].

2. Technically, the term “information” represents a decrease in
uncertainty. Now that we have conveyed this information, you
should be less uncertain.
3. See:
HTML https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-t...
4. This is related to the concept of “specified” information,
but it is not “complex”.
5. OK, a snowflake isn’t exactly “repetitive”. Technically, its
shape could convey information about the temperature and water
vapor concentration that formed its crystal structure. But,
this “information” is minimal and does not “do” anything.
6. This is related to the concept of “complex” information, but
it is not “specified”.
7. A completely random sequence, once it is known, technically
conveys “syntactic” or Shannon information. It’s useless, but
technically “information” according to Shannon.
8. The formal concept of Complex Specified Information includes
messages like the Gettysburg Address that could not be produced
by random processes, given the entire probabilistic resources of
the universe. We’ll try to keep this simple by avoiding
probabilities.
9. …and the other required information found in the elements of
life.
10. Importantly, physics and chemistry do not specify any
particular ordering of the nucleotides in DNA or RNA. Any
ordering is equally likely to occur, unless it is somehow
guided. The matter does not create information on its own.
11. Coding for proteins is useless unless a cell already has
protein manufacturing machinery. The code to produce the protein
manufacturing machinery is immense: In the simplest known life,
JVCI Syn3A, this functionality alone requires 149 genes and more
than 100,000 base pairs of DNA!!
