Chemistry Fails Here
Description
In this discussion on the origin of life, we explore why chemistry and physics alone struggle to explain how life first emerged. Drawing on the work of Stephen Meyer, Jim Tour, and origin-of-life researchers like Steven Benner, the conversation highlights the central role of information in biology and the immense challenges faced by naturalistic models. From the difficulty of forming functional proteins and RNA to the reliance on highly controlled laboratory protocols that themselves require informational input, the discussion argues that molecules left to themselves tend to move away from life rather than toward it.
The episode examines why appeals to chance, chemistry, or vague forms of “selection” fail to bridge the gap—and why the origin of biological information remains one of science’s most unresolved questions.
