Response to James Tour: 700 Papers and Still Clueless (Part 1 of 2)

Descrizione:

Last year I made a video about James Tour, a chemist and creationist who speaks out against origin of life research. He didn't like it much, so he decided to make a 14‑part series about how dumb I am. He really pulled out all the stops, parading all of his classic fallacious talking points, with plenty of bald‑faced lies and deliberate misrepresentations of scientific research peppered in for good measure. Honestly, I was rather shocked at how stupid it was. With so much material to work with, I ended up with quite a lot to say in response, and had to split it into two parts. In this Part 1, we discuss how James pretends to be an expert on origin of life research but objectively isn't, and how he deliberately ignores mountains of research regarding the emergence of homochirality.
