In this video James Tours describes his work with nanocars and the difficulty of solving the Origin of Life problem.
Time is enemy as products of reactions degrade
Dream team could not develop a cell
Nobody understands
When will science community confess they have no clue
Abiogenesis nightmare
"Some may contend that I did not use Nature’s
building blocks, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleic acids and
lipids. I concede, I took the easy route and used simple synthetic
molecules, not Nature’s far more complex compounds where chirality and
diastereoselectivity can be enormously problematic in synthesis. Thus
here we will consider Nature’s building blocks, showing that many
of the common parameters hold, yet they become far more difficult for
prebiotic systems than for the synthetic chemist today."

Our Fragile Intellect
Trends in Genetics references this paper - Our Fragile Intellect.(download) What is interesting about this is that we peaked 2000-6000 years ago and now are
devolving. Or.... we started out pristine with the preternatural gifts
of bodily immortality and freedom from sickness and have lost it.
"I would wager that if an average citizen from Athens of
1000 BC were to appear suddenly among us, he or she
would be among the brightest and most intellectually alive
of our colleagues and companions, with a good memory, a
broad range of ideas, and a clear-sighted view of important
issues. Furthermore, I would guess that he or she would be
among the most emotionally stable of our friends and
colleagues. I would also make this wager for the ancient
inhabitants of Africa, Asia, India, or the Americas, of
perhaps 2000–6000 years ago. The basis for my wager
comes from new developments in genetics, anthropology,
and neurobiology that make a clear prediction that our
intellectual and emotional abilities are genetically surprisingly
fragile."
and
"Taken together, the large number of genes required for
intellectual and emotional function, and the unique susceptibility
of these genes to loss of heterozygosity, lead me
to conclude that we, as a species, are surprisingly intellectually
fragile and perhaps reached a peak 2000–6000 years
ago. But if we are losing our intellectual abilities, how did
we acquire them in the first place? This will be the topic of
the next section [15]. "

Below is additional support for IDvolution.
Some quotes from Dr John Sanford on genetic entropy. Very consistent
with IDvolution and Scripture. To get the full effect take the time to
view the videos. Listen carefully where he states it is "kind of a
trade secret of population geneticists." The design of the genome is
astonishing and shows intelligence, design and purpose.

Abstract
New developments in genetics, anthropology, and neurobiology predict that a very large number of genes underlie our intellectual and emotional abilities, making these abilities genetically surprisingly fragile."I would wager that if an average citizen from Athens of
1000 BC were to appear suddenly among us, he or she
would be among the brightest and most intellectually alive
of our colleagues and companions, with a good memory, a
broad range of ideas, and a clear-sighted view of important
issues. Furthermore, I would guess that he or she would be
among the most emotionally stable of our friends and
colleagues. I would also make this wager for the ancient
inhabitants of Africa, Asia, India, or the Americas, of
perhaps 2000–6000 years ago. The basis for my wager
comes from new developments in genetics, anthropology,

intellectual and emotional abilities are genetically surprisingly
