So here's Thunderf00t's latest video (the same thunderf00t that created the "Why do people laugh at creationists?" video series). He's explaining how living organisms function at a molecular level. Interesting stuff.

I'm surprised no one has replied yet. I thought people would find this interesting.

Yes it is very interesting. I know a little about chemistry and this video was very well made and helpful. I will look out for part 2.

I would watch it but YouTube go out of their way to stop people with dial-up from viewing videos on there.

This is his most recent video, so it will probably be a little while before part 2 is uploaded because he also said that his next one will be the next installment of his "Why do people laugh at creationists?" series. I will eagerly be awaiting part 2 of this though.

What browser do you use? There's probably a way to download the video.

Apparently, there's going to be a part 3 as well.

Here's part 3 of this video series. This time it's about protein folding:

I'm finding these videos interesting, so I'm surprised no ones responding.

I don't like them - there's more religion-bashing than any actual science here. He spouts a few opinions but very few actual facts.

I'm sorry - a few screenshots from Folding@Home does not make you a scientist... and his other links are mostly just "I hate all religion" hate-speech.

I love science - this isn't it.

Are you serious? The first 2 videos don't even have a single mention of religion. Even in the last video, the was only one single clip of William Lane Craig and he merely refuted the claim that natural processes happen randomly, I'm sorry if you think that is "hate speech".

Yes, he is actually a scientist.

^ I have to agree with that.
These videos are packed with science-based gems, threaded together by a thoughtful and extremely interesting commentary.

I'll have to watch the first two then - #3 was sure weak.

Thanks for posting those videos Jono. I've now got broadband and was finally able to watch them.

^ No problem. Unfortunately, Thunderfoot hasn't continued with the series, otherwise I would of bumped this thread.
