The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak cdk007 2008-06-09 | This has been CONFIRMED in Dr. Jack Szostak's LAB. 2009 Nobel Laurette in medicine for his work on telomerase. It's been 55 years since the Miller-Urey Experiment, and science has made enormous progress on solving the origin of life. This video summarizes one of the best leading models. Yes there are others. Science may never know exactly how life DID start, but we will know many ways how life COULD start. Don't be fooled by creationist arguments as even a minimal understanding of biology and chemistry is enough to realize they have no clue what they are talking about. Note on how competition works. Water will flow across a membrane to try to equalize the ion concentration. If there is a lot of polymer in a vesicle it will be surrounded by many ions, thus causing water to flow into the vesicle, increasing the internal pressure and stretching the membrane. Fatty acids are in equilibrium between the vesicle and solution. If 2 vesicles are near one another they will gradually swap fatty acids. If one membrane is under tension, the fatty acid "on rate" will be greater than the "off rate" (move to a lower energy state by relaxing the pressure). It will suck up fatty acids from solution. The other vesicle will still give them off, but they will disappear (sucked up by neighbor) and not return. Therefore, the vesicle with high internal pressure will grow and the neighbor will shrink.

While this is not in my usual genera I felt it necessary to share this with everyone. Much thanks to my running partner Steve Evans for wearing the helmet cam for the entire race. And yes, that's real barbed wire! Oh, and for those paying attention, you now know who I am, though it never really was a secret. Think about it
Why Common Design Common Designer = FAIL cdk007 2010-06-23 | Intelligent Design advocates claim that when we see similarities between organisms, common designs, they must be evidence of a common designer. Here I show why this catchy little phrase fails miserably. Intelligent Design is built on two pillars: Irreducible Complexity, and Design. I have previously shown that evolution predicts the IC systems will evolve. Here I disprove the concept of design. Is life designed? Actually, yes. But the designer is not an intelligent supernatural being, life is sculpted by the environment through natural selection. Mother Nature and Father Time are the designers of life.

BP Underwater Oil Plumes Hold Vast Quantities of Oil cdk007 2010-06-14 | I must apologize to my loyal subscribers for my extended absence. For the past few months I have been feverishly working to get 5 manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals. But I felt the lies, double talk, and deception on the part of BP needed addressing. Yes, scientists have not found high concentration plumes, but as I point out here, low concentration plumes hold horrific volumes of oil. It's like saying, the earth hasn't exploded, therefore this disaster isn't that bad. The "gullible sheep" comment is referring to the media, who rarely check up on numbers or facts made by people they interview. British Petroleum's CEO Tony Hayward said they will make this right, excuse me if I don't believe you anymore. If course, stopping the spill, cleaning up the oil, paying all the Gulf Coast residents claims IN FULL, and paying the full EPA fine should be enough to convince me you've put your dishonest ways behind you. I won't hold my breath.

Mercury Pollution from Compact Fluorescent vs Incandescent Light Bulbs cdk007 2010-03-04 | Here I thought I'd share a bit of research I did over the past few days. Are incandescents better because they don't contain mercury? NO. We can reduce mercury pollution from CFLs to zero by taking two steps: 1) use clean sources of power, 2) recycle the bulbs after they blow. Think about it.
Radiometric Dating is Flawed!! Really?? How Old IS the Earth? cdk007 2010-03-01 | THIS VIDEO IS LACED WITH SARCASM (to those who have difficulty sensing it). Scientists admit that radiometric dating, one of the fundamental techniques used to show the earth is billions of years old is flawed!!! The earth is not 4.55 billion years old. Watch and find out just how old it really is. Of course, scientists are always refining their techniques, it's part of of science works. Creationists have pointed to a number of "results" from radiometric dating that prove it doesn't work. Here I go over all the reasons why. Why is there Carbon-14 in some coal. Why did Potassium-Argon dating of the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens give ages on the order of hundreds of thousands of years.

Votebots: Proof Creationists have Nothing to Offer cdk007 2010-01-18 | Votebots, flagging, DMCAs, none of these will stem the tide of scientific progress ushering us forth into the modern age. Some are just too scared to let go of their Bronze Age superstitions. And they are willing to expose themselves as immoral hypocrites in the process. When one side presents sound logically reasoned arguments backed up by mountains of empirical evidence, and the other side simply resorts to cheating, its pretty obvious the debate is over. If they were only a little smarter they would realize such actions actually do them more harm than good. YouTube could easily fix this and many other problems plaguing its site. They simply choose not to. To download this video copyright free please go to: http://www.mediafire.com/?odnmjzzmtmm And remember to always, Think about it.

Creationists: Put Up or Shut Up cdk007 2009-11-17 | You claim to have the evidence. Well its time you put up. Science has over 240,000 peer-reviewed articles supporting evolution.

Once Ive received an article that meets the qualifications set forth in the video I will link to it here: To download this video copyright free please go to: http://www.mediafire.com/?izmmfmtcgum Why Answers Research Journal does not count as a valid peer-reviewed journal. In their own words they admit they are a biased publication, and therefore, they lack objectivity and credibility. Here are their own words: The following criteria will be used in judging papers: 1. Is the papers topic important to the development of the Creation and Flood model?... 3. Is this paper formulated within a young-earth, young-universe framework? 4. If the paper discusses claimed evidence for an old earth and/or universe, does this paper offer a very constructively positive criticism and provide a possible young-earth, young-universe alternative?... The editor-in-chief will not be afraid to reject a paper if it does not properly satisfy the above criteria or it conflicts with the best interests of AiG as judged by its biblical stand and goals outlined in its statement of faith.

Is the Universe Fine Tuned for Life? cdk007 2009-11-10 | In short, NO. Do we need to invoke an intelligent designer to explain why the natural forces are the way they are? NO. Science is still researching how the laws of physics are determined, but everything that we know today tells us its not the universe that is fine-tuned for life, but life, through evolution, that has fine-tuned itself for the universe. Why do I spend time debunking these absurd creationist arguments? My goal is to produce a series of videos that attacks the problem of ignorance from two angles: 1) Tell people what science actually says, how science works, what we know and are still figuring out; 2) Tell people why each of the creationist arguments are wrong, thereby not ignoring their claims and seeming to hide from them. Also, its so easy, its fun. Heres how the calculation was done. Total volume = volume of the Milkyway galaxy (radius = Milkyway to Andromeda galaxy / 2) so the volume = 6.88e66 cubic meters. The volume of the habitable space on earth (-2000m to +8000m) = 5e18 cubic meters. Assume 1e11 habitable worlds per volume like the Milkyway. Total habitable volume (5e29 cubic meters) per unit volume (6.88e66 cubic meters) gives 7.3e-38 universe is habitable.

Can You Trust Your Thoughts cdk007 2009-06-24 | Here I present the argument in its full form as I have heard it over the years. Can we trust our thoughts? Yes. A few notes: Our sensory neurons do reliably transmit information about the world around us. Neurons in higher cortical areas can be quite noisy, but averaging the activity from small populations of such neurons still produces a reliable signal. Its not just our senses that we trust. You didnt hit your hand because you trusted either your memory (of getting hit by an object like a hammer) or your logical reasoning (that hitting your hand with a hammer, though something you have never experienced, would hurt). Science is a self correcting system. If a result is unable to be reproduced, it is discarded. New findings constantly reshape our thinking. We are continuously learning about the world around us, and have no problem admitting that we dont have all the answers. So it is clearly safe for everyone to Think about it.

Are You ProLife? Was Scott Roeder when he killed George Tiller? cdk007 2009-06-04 | The commandment Thou shalt not kill does NOT come with exceptions. To be pro-life yet for capital punishment and for war is a hypocritical position. Am I pro-life? No. My general philosophy is to support the position that minimizes suffering, considering both the short and long term. Therefore, wars, while horrendous, are occasionally justified, since the freedom and life of millions far outweighs the deaths of some innocent civilians in the short term. However, war should always be the last alternative. I am not in favor of capital punishment, simply because it has proven to not be an economically nor socially productive way to deal with violent criminals. Life without parole with severely restricted access to modern amenities is a far more fitting punishment. Then, if you ever find that an inmate is innocent, you still have the person to release. Finally, I support a womans right to choose. When you consider the life of the mother, the health of the mother, the future of the mother, the future of the family, the health and future of the fetus, there are enough circumstances where aborting the embryo, a being with no thoughts, no feelings, is the option that greatly minimizes suffering. However, abortion like war should be the last alternative. We should work to minimize the number of abortions that need to be performed. This can be achieved through comprehensive sex education and easy access to low cost effective birth control.

The Problem of Miracles cdk007 2009-03-09 | The problem of miracles is that you should never believe a claim of one. This is a modern retelling of Humes Argument. Essentially it boils down to always believe the explanation with the highest probability. Since miracles by definition violate the laws of nature, they must have a lower probability than any natural explanation (if the laws of nature were violated on a routine basis, they wouldnt be the laws of nature). Therefore, it is always more likely someone is being intentionally dishonest, honestly mistaken, were tricked, suffered a hallucination, or simply witnessed a natural phenomena that they simply don't understand, than a miracle occurred. Probabilities: Joe is telling the truth = 0.9 Joe is lying = 0.1 The coin gave 10 heads = 0.001 The coin didn't give 10 heads = 0.999 This yields 4 possibilities 1) Joe tells the truth and coin did what he predicted = 0.0009 2) Joe tells the truth and the coin didn't do what he predicted = 0.8991 3) Joe lies and the coin did what he predicted = 0.0001 4) Joe lies and the coin didn't do what he predicted = 0.0999 Since Joe tells us the coin did what he predicted we are left with only two possibilities, 1 and 4. Either He is telling the truth and the coin did what he predicted 0.0009 (double positive), or Joe is lying and the coin didn't do what he predicted 0.0999 (double negative). Given that one of these must be true (given the information Joe told us, i.e. his prediction was confirmed) the probabilities rescale to add to 1. Meaning there is a 0.9% chance Joe is telling the truth and a 99.1% chance Joe is lying.

We all share an interest in science and we have respect for the advancements and benefits that science has brought us. The internet is one example of this. We believe that the internet offers extraordinary and valuable opportunities for education, and through sites such as YouTube, a forum for open discussion and exchange of views. In order for people to fully benefit from the internet, freedom of speech, freedom of expression and a lack of censorship are essential. We are concerned that there are some people who are attempting to prohibit free speech on the internet. They are doing so by the unwarranted service of notices under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, ("DMCA"). We recognize that Copyright is an important legal right. The DMCA provides a method for copyright owners to protect their work against plagiarism and exploitation. However, we are also aware that some people are misusing the DMCA. They are issuing notices that are not a legitimate attempt to protect their copyright, but are a cynical way of attempting to prevent adverse comment on, and criticism of, their views. They are using it maliciously, wrongly and probably illegally. We consider such actions to be abhorrent. It is a sick and cowardly way of attempting to restrict free speech and limit the potential of the internet for education. Some of us have been subjected to such notices. We are sure that our own experiences are not the only occasions when the DMCA has been misused. We would like to know how often it is happening? Who else has been served with DMCA notices? Who served these notices? What happened as a result? We would like to hear from you by contacting us at the channel DMCAabuse (not this one) if you have been served with a DMCA notice that you consider was issued in order to prohibit free expression rather than to protect copyright. (Any information you send us will be treated with confidentiality and will not be disclosed without your prior permission.) We believe that opportunity for education, freedom of expression and freedom of speech are causes worth protecting. We want to do what we can to protect them. Please help us do that.

The Logic of Creationists cdk007 2008-12-01 | Hard evidence is far better than an eye witness. Eyewitness testimony is known to be one of the least reliable sources of information and humans are capable of being less than honest. Empirical evidence on the other hand, just is. It doesnt lie. You have to be quite irrational to be willing to ignore a mountain of empirical evidence simply because no one witnessed the event first hand. In this video I take that position to its logically absurd end. Now of course no creationist will admit they are suffering from Projection, but they dont have to. If you learn the signs its quite easy to spot. Many have also been known to project the strengths of science onto their religion. Ever heard a creationist claim The bible is the most accurate science book in history or Scientific findings actually prove the bible. All just delusional projection. Sad really.

Sarah Palin: Anti-Science, Anti-Research, Anti-Intelligence (Anti-Fruit Fly) cdk007 2008-10-27 | First Sarah Palin supports the teaching of religion in public schools (creationism) which John McCain is NOT opposed to. Then she can't name a single newspaper she's ever read. And now she comes out against fruit fly research. Fruit flies are invaluable for all modern research on human diseases. Guess she doesn't want to cure Autism, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Alzheimer's, Cancer... Oh and let's not forget the hockey mom with a $150,000 wardrobe and Joe the plumber who's a total fraud. The entire McCain campaign is built on lies and fear. They are pro-Jesus and anti-Science, but yet they go to the doctor when they are sick instead of staying home and praying. Why, because they know better and use these simple lies to sway the ignorant masses. Music: Mozart's Requiem

Playing Politics with US Troops cdk007 2008-09-24 | Why has the Iraq War not ended? Is Bush playing politics with our troops' lives? Should we trust Maliki? Should we really allow Bush to deploy our troops for another tour simply to help McCain win the 2008 election? I find this quote both absurd and profoundly disturbing at the same time. Here is the full quote: "Actually, the final date was really the end of 2010 and the period between the end of 2010 and the end of 2011 was for withdrawing the remaining troops from all of Iraq, but they [the Bush administration] asked for a change [in date] due to political circumstances related to the domestic situation [in the US] so it will not be said to the end of 2010 followed by one year for withdrawal but the end of 2011 as a final date. Agreement has been reached on this issue. They are willing to respond positively because they, too, are facing a critical situation." -Transcript via Open Source Center Think about it.
The Joy of Sex (ual Reproduction) cdk007 2008-09-22 | Why does sexual reproduction exist? What is it good for? Why don't we all use asexual reproduction and simply bud off clones. Simple. One huge advantage of sexual reproduction is its ability to increase variation thus accelerating evolution. Sexual reproduction also comes with other advantages not captured in this simulation that I may get to in future videos.

Is Multi-Gender Sex Better? cdk007 2008-09-22 | Why are there only 2 genders? Here I use a simple genetic algorithm to simulate 4 species. The species and environments are exactly the same except for the number of genders each species has. Species with multiple genders evolve at the same rate as a species with 2 genders. Therefore, there is no further advantage. Plus, each additional gender increases the costs of sexual reproduction. 2 genders appears to be the optimal solution. Go Evolution!

This was an innocent mistake on my part. This video only discusses the biological sex of individuals and in no way discusses the social genders that individuals may adopt. I've generally tried to avoid using the word sex too often as some folks feel the need to flag these videos. And remember to Think about it.
Is god Pro-Life? cdk007 2008-09-15 | You be the judge. This video is NOT anti-religion and NOT anti-god. It is not even pro or anti abortion. This video simply shows that given the facts, it is highly illogical to claim god (one of the more common views at least) is pro-life. Take your personal definition of god and apply the same facts. Your result need not be the same. All I ask is that you Think about it.

Sarah PALIN for CENSORSHIP cdk007 2008-09-04 | http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/03/us/politics/03wasilla.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin This video is based on an article that recently appeared in the New York Times. Palin FIRED a librarian for refusing to remove books from the library she found morally or socially objectionable. Palin never offered specifics of which books she wanted banned. There is no list. Palin moved to fire the librarian for simply refusing to go along with her plan. According to the article Palin DID fire the librarian. She was only rehired after the town protested. Palin FIRED city officials that appeared in a commercial for the incumbent mayor. Even the head of the Wasilla Museum!? Palin BLOCKED all city officials from speaking to the press without her permission. Sound like anyone we know? BUSH? And this was for a town of less than 10,000 people. Imagine what she will do if she were vice president! President!!! To download this video go to http://www.mediafire.com/?emgjwpw0y1d Think about it.
Clinton Supporters for McCain - Is it Race? cdk007 2008-08-26 | Learn each Candidate's positions: http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm This video is not meant to endorse any particular political view. The thumbs up and down simply refer to agree and disagree with Senator Clinton's position respectively. Senator Obama's positions are far more like Clinton's than McCain's. On some issues they are nearly identical. If you supported Clinton in the primaries the choice in November is obvious. And don't claim it's because of experience. Clinton and Obama have equally little experience. If experience is your only deciding issue you should have supported McCain from the start. Finally, don't bother pointing out similarities amongst all three candidates. Yes they do exist, but similarities are not what enable one to choose between them. Will Senator Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention do anything to persuade her supporters to vote for Senator Obama? Discover which candidate is most suited for you. http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008.html Think about it.

The Origin of the Genetic Code cdk007 2008-08-18 | The evolution of a "language" is NOT impossible. The increase in information by evolution is NOT impossible. The evolution of irreducibly complex systems is NOT impossible. The genetic code did NOT require super natural intervention or an intelligent designer to first form.

How Evolution REALLY Works, Part II cdk007 2008-05-27 | Natural Selection prevents deleterious mutations from spreading throughout a population while fostering the spread of beneficial mutations. One can get populations to do many things with this simulator. Just remember, if your parameters are not realistic, your solution will not represent reality. To download the Population Simulator go to: http://www.mediafire.com/?z2p2ydew1id To download this video go to: http://www.mediafire.com/?zqmzezllkyv If you wish to translate this video you can download the PowerPoint file from: http://www.mediafire.com/?yexml12mkgi Predator evolution is simulated by scaling the populations mean survival probability back to the attrition rate. Example. If the Attrition rate is 0.9 and every member of the population has a number of beneficial mutations then the mean probability of death may be 0.8. If the predators were allowed to evolve (as they would in nature) that would scale the mean death probability back to 0.9. This is known as the Red Queen Hypothesis. The organisms have to keep evolving just to stand still. Without predator evolution enough beneficial mutations can pile up to lower the death probability to 0 (or nearly so). This would stop selection as every member would live to mate. Error: I stated that without selection, evolution stops. This is not entirely true. Genetic drift operates in the absence of selection. It is one mechanism by which neutral mutations can become fixed in a populations. Think about it.
Is religion battered womans syndrome? cdk007 2008-05-14 | Do you suffer from battered woman's syndrome? I hope that everyone can watch this video with an open mind. For if you feel that questioning your faith, or questioning your view of god, will banish you to eternal torment, then you clearly are in an abusive relationship. If someone truly loves you they would not be capable of torturing you for all of eternity. Sadly, that is apparently not obvious to most.

Evidence for Evolution, Part III cdk007 2008-05-05 | WHAT IF INSERTION IS NOT RANDOM If you run the numbers with the assumption that ERVs can only insert in 1% of the genome, i.e. highly nonrandom, you still get enormously low probabilities with only 16 ERVs. So even if insertion is highly nonrandom, getting the thousands of matched ERVs between all primates is unbelievably unlikely just like I show in the video (don't believe me, do the math). Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) are the relics of ancient viral infections preserved in our DNA. The odd thing is many ERVs are located in exactly the same position on our genome and the chimpanzee genome. There are two explanations for the perfectly matched ERV locations. Either it is an unbelievable coincidence that viruses just by chance inserted in exactly the same location in our genomes, or humans and chimps share a common ancestor. It was our common ancestor that was infected, and we both inherited the ERVs. ERVs providence the closest thing to a mathematical proof for evolution. And remember, ERVs are just one of the millions of FACTS that support the theory of evolution. Think about it.

M. Romano, R. F. Ramalho, and P. M. de A. Zanotto; Tempo and mode of ERV-K evolution in human and chimpanzee genomes. Arch Virol (2006) 151: 22152228 Probabilities calculates using random insertion into a genome containing 3 billion bases. Yes, some ERVs have shown to not insert perfectly randomly, but none show perfect site selection. Accounting for non-random insertion would NOT reduce the probabilities much.
Why Young Earth Creationists Must Deny Gravity, Part V cdk007 2008-04-17 | Here I wrap up the series showing how a belief that the universe is 6,000 years old requires one to deny the theory of gravity. Accepting the overwhelming evidence that the universe is old and evolution is true does not require one to abandon their faith or religion. Creationists commonly use this lie to convince people science is evil. "Errors in Humphreys' cosmological model" can be found at http://www.trueorigin.org/rh_fackmcin1.pdf or http://www.mediafire.com/?mwzvjpxyw5e To download this video please go to: http://www.mediafire.com/?awzjw4q2tf3 If you wish to translate this video you can download the PowerPoint file from: http://www.mediafire.com/?xzmxntozzym Error: misspelled Humphreys' Error: I should have stated "There is absolutely positively no KNOWN explanation that can allow for a universe to be both BIG and YOUNG and not violate any known physical laws." Think about it.
Why Young Earth Creationists Must Deny Gravity, Part IV cdk007 2008-03-31 | SPECIAL NOTE. PLEASE READ. Two small points. If a star is directly behind a wormhole exit we will not see it. However, if a star is to the side of a wormhole exit its light will be bent into earth so we will see it. This bending will be very different from standard gravitational lensing that is produced by normal massive objects and has been observed countless times. When I stated it's bad to be at the center of the universe, I meant the center of the shell of white holes. But since they connect every point in space to our solar system, in a sense we then occupy a special location in the universe. Which will be crushed by the way. Also, I should have stated "Top 10 List Why White Holes are NOT a valid Solution to the Starlight Problem". This idea is NOT supported by AIG or any other main strem YEC website. It was proposed by an individual during a discussion. I only include it in this series to point out it is NOT a valid solution to the starlight problem. This should also not be confused with Russell Humphreys' "White Hole Cosmology" idea. That is an altogether separate idea that also has a ton of flaws. I think I will treat that in a future video.

YouTube Vote Bot cdk007 2008-03-28 | MOST LIKELY BOT ATTACK! CONTACT YOUTUBE! Please contact youtube and notify them that this is most likely a bot that is attacking multiple accounts (Thunderf00t). The 1 star voting is to regular and ongoing for it to be a person (observation made by Thunderf00t). Please take the time to vote my videos back up to where they were and undo what this troll has done to my account. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave, I'm not going to stop making videos. I enjoy making them far too much and I know most of the real people out there enjoy watching them. This just has me a bit pissed off because they indiscriminately targeted my entire account. This has happened to Thunderf00t as well so help him out as well. www.youtube.com/user/Thunderf00t Other targets: www.youtube.com/user/VivoVitamBonam Clearly creationists have sunk to a new low. The only way to support their position is to lie, cheat, and censor. Kind of shows how strong and truthful their position is. And THANK YOU.
