From the video description:
"An exploration of microbiology, information science, and the origin of life."
As we continually advance our technological capabilities, we continually learn more and more through our observations and the scientific method. But interestingly enough, as we continue to advance in our collective scientific knowledge, instead of getting closer to being able to answer the question of "where did we all come from" simply, the answers surrounding this question have seemingly become more distant. As we continue to observe what we call life and examine its properties, the fundamental aspects of life have revealed themselves to be far more complex than ever could have possibly been imagined only 100 years ago, when life and especially the concept of the cell were considered to be simple and easily mutable. This two part series explores the topic of the origin of life from multiple angles, including 21st century research into the topic in the areas of biology and information science. Watch for yourself and then try to ask yourself: "Is it really possible that what we call 'life' could have arisen from some unguided, unnamed process? Or could it be that it seems like to fairy-tale to believe that such a magical thing as life arising from non-life seems possible? What does this mean for my own worldview and beliefs?"
