After witnessing Dr. Steve Benner's misrepresentation of Dr. Tour and his statements on origin of life (OOL), in this episode, we now turn to Benner's chemistry. Looking beyond mere titles and abstracts, we dig into Benner's data, exploring how it suffers from excessive human involvement, despite Benner himself criticizing the notion. After reminding us of the Cannizzaro dilemma and how time presents a problem for synthetic degradation, Dr. Tour exposes how Benner's D-Ribose was just a needle in a haystack of other compounds, rendering it prebiotically irrelevant due to it being completely useless for further reactions. Nevertheless, Benner continues, claiming a "hands off" approach, but using "hands on" from other chemists, who provide the alleged missing human involvement and relay synthesis along the way, let alone, chemists whose papers reveal they purchased chemicals as by-products from living sources, rending those paths prebiotically irrelevant as well. Dr. Tour also exposes OOL's problem of picking and choosing molecules only when it strikes one's fancy, for example, magnesium chloride and all the amino acids, while abrogating DAP's OOL relevance to boot. Things are not so pure as they seem (and as the chemistry requires), and chemists who extrapolate their claims should simply know better.

* This video includes an intentional mistranslation of a story told by Juan Joya Borja, a Spanish comedian and actor known as "El Risitas" ("The Giggles" in Spanish), as satire. Joya's hilarious story describes an incident when he worked as a kitchen porter, and he left some paella pans (paelleras) at night in the ocean to soak and clean them, and in the morning when he returned to retrieve the pans, they had washed out to sea with the tide. He frequently interrupts the story with his trademark laugh. This story has become a popular meme on the Internet, entertaining millions with intentional mistranslations paired with Joya’s laugh. Thank you "El Risitas" for blessing the Internet with this story and your contagious laugh. May you rest in peace. For more on Risitas and this meme, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Risitas
