James Tour is back at it with more tantrums and science denial, and this time he's brought a sidekick! It's Rob Stadler, the clueless creationist. Together they fumble through a half-assed attempt at addressing the field of systems chemistry, the centerpiece of origin of life research, likely because hundreds of people have been bringing it to Jim's attention to mock him for flat out ignoring it all these years. What ensues is comedy gold! After we tear through their pathetic interaction, we chat with another one of Tour's former colleagues, Kevin Ausman, who much like Andrew Barron in the previous video has some great stories about how James is a lying fraud. Grab the popcorn!
