“In nature, photosynthesis is performed by several very complex assemblies of proteins and pigments.”
Researchers have not been able to approach the efficiency of the natural process with artificial photosynthesis.

At The Scientist: The Long and Winding Road to Eukaryotic Cells
“Despite recent advances in the study of eukaryogenesis, much remains unresolved about the origin and evolution of the most complex domain of life.”
At SciTech Daily: Artificial Cells With Lifelike Functionality – New Breakthrough Brings Scientists One Step Closer
“The study uses bacteria to bring scientists closer to building these artificial lifelike cells.”
At SciTech Daily: Scientists Solve an Origin of Life Mystery
So many steps in this imagined process are mediated against by the known laws of physics, that to suggest it happened naturally is to depart from scientific credibility.
Evolution and Imagination
Does the committed evolutionist unconsciously impute their imagination into the supposed biological outworkings of the laws of nature?
At Mind Matters News: One-celled life form uses early “computer” to stand in for brain
The researchers suspect that other single-celled life forms also use something roughly like early computing methods as an alternative to a brain.
At Phys.org: The thinking undead: How dormant bacteria calculate their return to life
This fascinating research presents yet another remarkable example of biochemical complexity with a functionality dependent upon environmental sensing, signal evaluation, operational feedback, managing stored resources, and survivability–all within a supposedly inert “spore.” I’ll call that evidence of intelligent design.
At Science Daily: Pioneering research using bacteria brings scientists a step closer to creating artificial cells with lifelike functionality
The interpretation of the research effort is that researchers can’t get life from non-life, so they try getting life from life.
Evolution News reports on The Electric Cell: More Synergy with Physics Found in Cellular Coding
The significant takeaway is that new research is discovering profound layers of complexity in cellular function that confounds the assumption of unguided interatomic forces as responsible for life.
Yockey reminds us on code use in Protein Synthesis
There is need to correct for record, given attempts to dismiss. Note, Yockey’s diagram: Where, we can observe on tRNA structure and action: The presence of a universal, CCA tool-tip means, chemically, any tRNA could bind the COOH end of any AA, where basic AA structure is: Given hyperskeptical objections, we need to emphasise that Read More…
At Phys.org: Discovery of new types of microfossils may answer age-old scientific question
“Scientists have long pondered how and when the evolution of prokaryotes to eukaryotes occurred. A collaborative research team from Tohoku University and the University of Tokyo may have provided some answers after discovering new types of microfossils dating 1.9 billion years.”
At Science Daily: New research on the emergence of the first complex cells challenges orthodoxy
Researchers: “A new study challenges a popular scenario put forward to explain the arrival of the first eukaryotic organisms.”
The Intelligent Design Audiopaper Project
I was thinking recently, about how many audiobooks are consumed by people these days. I would guess that the main reason behind this consumption is convenience. Many people just don’t have the time, or don’t create the time, to really sit down and get their head in a book. But I understand that for many, Read More…
At Evolution News: The Problem of Phosphorus
David Coppedge extends extends Michael Denton’s illumination of the prior fitness characteristics of Earth to sustain life as we know it.
At Quanta: Brain-Signal Proteins Evolved Before Animals Did
Researchers found that, “choanoflagellates made protein precursors of two mature neuropeptides, phoenixin and nesfatin.”
