After my live debate with James Tour at Rice University, where he humiliated himself by shrieking like a toddler for two full hours, James kept quiet for a little while. But recently he's been opening his mouth again. I would say that you'd be surprised by how low he has sunk, but somehow at this point I don't think it will shock you. Nevertheless, let's go through his most recent shenanigans and laugh at how pathetic he has become, shall we?

I'd yell too if my opponent just kept calling me a liar rather than refuting my arguments. I don't even understand chemistry but I appreciate Tour's effort to demonstrate on the board more than Dave's "here is the paper", "James is a liar." & "you, the audience, are too stupid to understand chemisty so shut up"

@@Azaryahu Please dont see this comment as an insult and read it in entirety. see, this is exactly why Tour did what he did. He knows his ideas are moronic and any scientist can notice that. Thats why he plays for the layperson, those who dont know chemistry at a highschool level. When he points a chalk, these laypeople just think "dave is avoiding solution" when an actual scientist would know what tour is expecting wouldnt fit in the entire blackboard and it would be a waste of time for dave to memorise the entire process. It is a simple stunt to fool those who want their views validated with no actual knowledge, and from your comment it is easy to see it sadly worked.

​@@AzaryahuNice try, buddy. If you were faced with a debate opponent that hardly ever gives you an opening to speak at all, let alone speak at length, you wouldn't be able to refute his arguments either. You see, there's a difference between not being given a chance to refute in the face of constant interruptions and changes of topic and not having the knowledge to refute. It's called the Gish Gallop - go look it up, bro. And it's not like Tour was debating in good faith. Tour wouldn't accept Dave's answers whenever the latter managed to get an answer in between Tour's bouts of yelling.

@@miaomiaochan The debate was very chaotic indeed because it was informal though it looked like they were supposed to follow a formal debate format. But I disagree that Dave was not given a chance to talk. But it is also true that Tour kept interrupting Dave, he should have waited his time to talk. But also we can see in the "debate" that things really start escalating when during Dave's turn to talk, he started his ad hominem about Tour's tweets. Dave even replied to a comment I made that the whole point of his attending this debate was "to prove James as a liar", even though he was the one who agreed with Tour about scope of their debate (are we clueless on OOL), which is why he starts talking about tweets instead of staying on the topic of chemistry. Hence a very chaotic debate for both of them, especially with the moderator forgetting to moderate at times 💀

This is the primary reason why these Creationist arguments from probability always fail. They always defined the target sequence too narrowly. Yes, the chance of a given molecule forming is astronomically low. But the target sequence is too narrowly defined. For a 500-residue amino, the chances of that particular one forming are 1 in 20^500. But they assume that *only 1 in 20^500 sequences work.* They have no justification for that assumption. BTW, you might want to see an article where I talk about just this kind of thing: Levenson, B.P. 2022. Probability or determinism: How rare is ETI?

And somehow he thought the edge went to Dinesh. You can watch it online. It was, as it always is, a sad joke. The christians, in their own environments, are almost always defensive, smug, insert loads of mentions of escatology, epistemology and ontology, but crumble within minutes of being tested.

I know James will probably see this video and read these comments as well, so I'm directing this at him. No one is afraid of James, no one is scared to refute him because they honestly don't have to, these videos are just to bring awareness to not only his but the general pseudo-intelligent con artists trying to masquerade as scientists while completely making up things about scientists and hoping that's enough to convince people that there's some kind of institution to rebel against. It's teenage angst that never died in him.

"If I don't understand it, no one can" that is so arrogant that I think even the Abrahamic god wouldn't believe it. I'm an idiot and there are things he doesn't understand that are pretty simple to me. He literally just denies anything that actually proves him wrong. A very convenient tactic, but won't work on scientists as it's nothing they haven't heard or debunked before already.

Dear Professor Dave, It's both sad and pathetic to see Dr Tour's decline into cognitive dissonance and induced victimhood. Thanks for making this public. Best Wishes, DOC

Hi Dave! I love all your debunks. It is very entertaining and the fake scientists deserve no respect for their lies. Keep up the good work you are a real life super hero in my opinion !!

I can't get over how he keeps having a go at you for preparing for a debate by writing things down. That's efficiant, pro active and that's why you took him down so effectively! He's really pathetic.

Hey Dave! If there's one good thing that came out of this whole Tour business, it's that you made me and a lot of other people I'm sure, interested in abiogenesis. So I was wondering, is there any chance you would do a series on explaining the basics of it? I am crap at chemistry and I hated it at high school (I study computer science at uni now), so while I'm sure your chemistry tutorials are great, they aren't for me. I understand that abiogenesis is a complicated field but is there any chance you could dumb it down for lay people and make a series about it? Or alternatively do you (or anyone else reading this) know about any other sources that try to explain abiogenesis in a simple manner?
