Dr. James Tour of Rice University emphasizes that scientists haven't been able to create a living cell in a lab or gain even partial understanding of how it naturally occurred. His ideas have ignited debates and demonization, including unfounded attacks from Youtuber Professor Dave.

Many have tried to use his faith to discredit him and dismiss his evidence challenging incorrect claims made by origin of life researchers.
