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?”.
