Origin of Life Debate: James Tour on Chemistry, Stephen Meyer on Intelligent Design at Cambridge

A pair of Cambridge lectures examining the deepest challenges in origin-of-life research—from the chemistry of early Earth to the information systems inside every cell—and exploring why current prebiotic models fall short. Featuring Dr. James Tour and Dr. Stephen Meyer, this session highlights the scientific roadblocks, the role of information, and the implications for how life began. --- If you would like to support us in creating more content across our different media platforms, we would greatly appreciate any support you can give.
