Interesting video and article about origins...
The video is James Tour explaining more about how science can't explain the chemical/abiotic origin of life naturalistically (supporting the alternative, the Bible's history, that God created life). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4sP1E1Jd_Y
The article is a review of a book called "A fortunate universe", about the fine-tuning of the universe's constants. https://creation.com/a-fortunate-universe-review . It makes many excellent points and shows nice diagrams, and makes the good point that naturalistic "multiverse" explanations for the fine-tuning of the universe actually destroy scientific exploration entirely... Excerpt: "Realistically, multiverse thinking can have no place in science. Apart from being unobservable (and therefore untestable) it logically leads to the view that no data set should be regarded as evidence for anything. In a multiverse it could always occur by chance!"
As just one among many fun examples of the philosophical problems with multiverse theory, a student could go to her professor and say, "I really did do my homework, but sadly, this universe we live in just happened to be one of the universes where that extremely unlikely circumstance of my homework quantum-tunneling itself millions of miles away, actually took place this morning, right before class." And if the professor believed in multiverses, there would be no way to refute the student's explanation!
