#Nanotechnology #intelligentdesign #jimtour Professor James (Jim) Tour is a chemist and nanotechnologist and is the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor of Chemistry, Comp. Sci., Materials Science & NanoEngineering, at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He conducts research at the Smalley-Curl Institute & NanoCarbon Center. Tour has 650 research publications and over 200 patents and is one of the most cited scientists in the world. He was inducted into the National Academy of Inventors in 2015. Tour was named among “The 50 Most Influential Scientists in the World Today” by TheBestSchools.org in 2014; was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2009. Tour was ranked one of the Top 10 chemists in the world over the past decade, by a 2009 Thomson Reuters survey. He won the Feynman Prize in Experimental Nanotechnology in 2008, and the NASA Space Act Award in 2008 for his development of carbon nanotube-reinforced elastomers. Dr. Tour has been the source of many well-publicized debates on and offline, including with Prof. Lee Cronin: Are we close to discovering the Origin Of Life? James Tour vs Lee Cronin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DHvNRK452c Tour's research has been the subject of a video by Dave Farina, a YouTuber, arguing that Tour is wrong and that origin-of-life researchers are well on their way to solving the mystery of life’s origin: Elucidating the Agenda of James Tour: A Defense of Abiogenesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SixyZ7DkSjA Tour responded to @professordaveexplains) in his own 13 episode YouTube video series: A Course on Abiogenesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71dqAFUb-v0 LINKS: www.jmtour.com http://www.drjamestour.com/ www.youtube.com/drjamestour twitter.com/drjamestour Dr. Tour's Lecture on the "False Science" Behind Origin of Life Research: https://youtu.be/v36_v4hsB-Y Dr Tour's Graphene Company: www.universalmatter.com 00:00:00 Advice for Young Scientists 00:02:06 What is the influence of a scientist’s theology on research? 00:03:29 Do you give any serious consideration to the notion that Aliens created life on earth? 00:07:16 What is the most complex thing scientists have made?
