As a recently retired scientist, I can testify that this guy’s lecture is spot-on. Another example: When cells make proteins (which they do in great variety and abundance), the molecule is made in a straight line, line pop-beads. Then the protein has to fold up to achieve its final shape. The unfolded protein is useless. If one calculates the time it would take to fold even a simple protein like hemoglobin, in a random fashion, the duration of the folding process approaches the lifetime of the universe. And so I ask the question, “all of these myriad life processes just happened spontaneously?”.
Sometimes what is called mercy for one person is harm to others. Of course, this is not always the case. The decisions about punishment for crimes that do not (and never can)

Tour is a pretty well-respected scientist, so it is nice to get some confirmation from other scientists.
I need to watch the whole thing, but to summarize: Biologists are horrible at math. Maybe even worse at it than Marxists.
I found it utterly fascinating. Well worth the time.
