Learn about both science and faith. Yes, a scientist can have faith, and talk about both things -- publishing in the best scientific journals while also considering deep issues of faith, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. I love both science and faith, but Jesus the most!
God bless you.

"In a few years, America may not need to buy critical minerals from China anymore, says synthetic chemist and nanotechnologist James Tour.
Why? Because of a method called flash Joule heating that he and his team have been studying at Rice University."

🧬 Seventy years after the Miller-Urey experiment, are we any closer to understanding how life began? Or has the scientific community overlooked some hard limits?
In a newly published peer-reviewed paper, Dr. James Tour of Rice University—together with M.C. Parker and C. Jeynes—issues a direct challenge to one of the central narratives in origin-of-life research.
📰 Published in BioCosmos, their study—
“Thermodynamic Limitations on the Natural Emergence of Long Chain Molecules”—
argues that life’s key molecules (like RNA and proteins) degrade far too quickly in water to serve as stable carriers of genetic information under prebiotic conditions.
📉 According to their calculations, a 600-unit RNA chain would have a half-life of just 4 hours—offering little time for life to begin, let alone evolve.
⚗️ This isn't theological critique—it’s thermodynamic reality.
The authors call for greater scientific honesty about the formidable statistical and chemical barriers to abiogenesis as currently conceived.
