Hi, folks--I'm not sure if this vid has been posted before but its worth watching for a simple (and likely simplistic) hypothesis on the formation of life. As many of you know, one of the (numerous) difficulties with the latest WT brochure The Origin of Life, Five Questions Worth Asking is the way it conflates evolution with abiogenesis, then quotes scientists like Robert Shapiro who say that, for instance, the RNA world hypothesis won't work because of thus and such. THEN, the WT (somewhat dishonestly) uses those words as "proof" that any kind of naturalistic origin is impossible (instead of revealing what Shapiro, in this case, is really saying--that while the RNA world hypothesis has problems, there are other hypotheses that overcome those problems).
At any rate, this is worth watching, both for the easy to understand explanation of one possible hypothesis from a Harvard scientist and for the cool way the text is calibrated with the final movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
