i usually find lectures of this type very facinating. Unfortunately, to me this was poorly constructed....too much info that few people care about...28 min in....and the only thing i want to know is what his theory on the origin of life.
I dont think it was appropriate for him to say viruses are non living, there are still huge debates on this...mainly because they can reproduce, but only with the help with a host....so what if viruses arent into themselves.
im not going to finish this 30 min in.....i dont care what hes rambling about....from the beginning it seems that he has some god like thing start life, and seems defensive to begin with. i dont agree with a higher power so i would be interested in what he has to say if he said what it was within the first 30 min at least.
All this probability crap....yeah i know that....thats why it takes so long to happen
blah whats the computational probability im shutting down the video now (32 min in).....100%
