I'd like to ask you, Dr James Tour, why you haven't availed yourself of the courses that Rice University offers on evolutionary biology, so you can learn what science knows about the subject?
uuum sooo ´ur take on this is YES I DID ALL THOSE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE THINGs BUT HEY GOD´ ur a MONSTER
also who the fuck cares about his wife she sounds like a fanatic christian wheres his SON?
woman didnt evn sound like a real person but a DI bot
@@Sparrow-hawk-666 He already told you what science knows about these topics as he is perfectly qualified to address the issue - why are you refusing the truth? Don't tell me because of his religion because that would be a tad funny when your camp claims you people attack James not because of his religion. So far this is exactly why you have been doing this, your religious worldview is threatened. And truth does hurt.
You could have looked at the field yourself and learned that they have exactly the issues James is speaking about. Instead you and people like you have chosen a path of aggression for which you will be held to account.
Peace be Still and know that I AM within you is God ♥
@@JessicaChristlight Mr Tour does not research the chemistry of abiogenesis, he doesn't publish about it in the scientific press, and he's in no position to pontificate about it. He's a layman, like you. Just because you worship him doesn't magically make him right.
I have looked into the field, as a biochemist, and see no problem with it. Had Tour restrained himself to remarking we don't have the final answer, it wouldn't have been an issue, but he ignorantly, or rather arrogantly without a full understanding, insists the process itself is impossible, because BIBLE!
@@Sparrow-hawk-666 That be a choice you made. However dishonest you want to be to yourself I have no objection.
This is happening because Dr. Tour has exposed that Origin of Life research has been a scam. They have no responses to his arguments, so they attack his character. But they picked the wrong hombre.
Steve Benner (OoL-researcher) received $5,000,000 grant for his research. (Source: Huffpost "Steve Benner--Origins of Life Funds & Origins of Life Jewelry")
So, it is not only about exposing the scam, but it is also about grant money ... or more specifically -- no more grant money ... I can see why these people don't like Dr. Tour ...
"
Spot on.
Great comment bro, especially "they picked the wrong hombre" that got me happy. God bless
Amen!!
✨💖💪✝️🕊️💖✨
💖✨🙏🥰✨💖
Nope. Tour doesn't understand the first thing about origins of life research. He doesn't even understand anything about evolution. There he is, a professor at Rice which offers many courses in biochemistry and cell biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and he can't get off his backside to go visit the biology department and learn something about evolution and abiogenesis. Why? Because he's a know-it-all who thinks he knows everything about the subject that can be known. So he deliberately keeps himself in the dark, which is why he's become a laughingstock in the scientific world.
Envy is disgusting
If you are not an atheist in science, you will be discouraged. It’s that simple
Definitely got that envious vibe. The contrast between Mrs Smalley’s statement and the accusations was wild
Yes, but I was there at the Venice-themed party where everyone was requesting Dr. Tour do impressions of the best microbiologists at the harpsichord.
He had a really obnoxious laugh while entertaining everyone! He actually DID hijack the party- it suddenly became all about his keyboard talents, playing upside down and such... Dr. Ausman was wearing a black mask so, in his anonymity, he flatly requested, "Play Ausman." And Tour then impersonated him with a scowl and a gross fart. Oh! I could tell this struck at poor Ausman's heart! So sad.
Envy tied to mediocrity
@@Nero.Was.Also.Pharaoh
Sir, your “story” seems vaguely familiar. That entire scenario reminds me of a scene from the (Academy Award winning) movie: Amadeus.
The scene takes place at a masquerade party that Mozart, his young wife and overbearing father attends. Mozart is asks to plays “like” different composers, while playing their compositions, on a harpsichord. One time he was held up side down and had to play backwards. He finally was asked, by Salieri himself (but in disguise) to play Salieri, which he does but is making fun of him. On the last note Mozart stands up, bends over to bow, and lets out a loud fart. It’s hilarious. One of the best movies ever made.
Mozart was indeed inspired by God Himself.
Oh yes. Mozart had a crazy cackling laugh in the movie.
You’re not implying that Kevin shares the same degree of mediocrity as Salieri? That seems to elevate him much higher than he deserves, don’t you think?
❤
I want to say a few things here:
1. You turned lies and accusations into a great testimony for Smalley's life.
2. You , Dr. James Tour, are a great honor to Rice University.
3. You, Hugh Ross, Stephen Meyer, and John Lenox are the most important people/ heroes of my adult life , which is based on faith and science .
God bless you richly and fortify you against the attacks of the enemy.
Well said
I concur
👍
Pity none of the folk you reference do any actual science relevant to evolution and abiogenesis!
@@Sparrow-hawk-666 Abiogenesis is not provable by experiment. I am consistently surprised that people like you do not see the obvious fallacy that you are using intelligently designed experiments to show that there is no Intelligent Designer. By the way, just how did mitosis first come to be? Without cell division, your story dies at the start. Another point...how do you evolve machines like the walking motor proteins that are used to pull the chromatids apart during Anaphase?
We must pray for Kevin Ausman. He is a troubled man.
He could be possessed, as many atheists are, he certainly appears to be very vindictive when he talks about Dr Tour, despite obviously having no reason to be so. Ausman's assassination attempt on Tour can only have two motives, the first is simply to discredit Jim because he's a Christian, the second reason is possibly a poor attempt by Ausman at increasing views on his own channel.
He's stuck in his adolescent phase of growth. Hopefully this will help Kevin grow up a little.
Not me.
I pray for those who deserve the Truth, not people like him.
@@thunderous-one No one deserves the Truth. On the other hand, it appears that you have some pride to deal with.
@@AzariahWolf please explain “no one deserves the truth”?
They are consumed by Jealousy. They must be stopped and humbled. Oh, and they ruin education with their lies. Pray for the youth.
It's not jealousy, it's fear. Fear that God may exist.
@@jon__doe Yes, it's very fleshy.
@@jon__doeDo you believe in Jesus, as Tour does? If so, do you fear Naraka?
@@MrLogo73 I do not. I do fear God as a son fears a good father. My father in heaven will not condemn me to hell, whatever that may be. He never breaks His word and I'm promised life eternal with Him. Eternity is is promised. "I set before you (eternal) life and (eternal) death, choose life."
It is human nature to contemplate the eternal. If you decide that there is no creator and no judgement, that eternity is in your mind whatever you wish to believe. It's most natural, when confronted with a challenge to your beliefs to be angry at the challenge. The Gospel shared by James Tour challenges any atheist.
You know it is fulfillment of prophecy by Jesus that James Tour is hated by atheists as he is hated for Jesus' sake.
@@jon__doe "It's most natural, when confronted with a challenge to your beliefs to be angry at the challenge. The Gospel shared by James Tour challenges any atheist."
That is what other religions say about you.
"You know it is fulfillment of prophecy by Jesus that James Tour is hated by atheists as he is hated for Jesus' sake."
Can you define the term 'gaslighting'?
"...and I'm promised life eternal with Him."
Promised? Not demonstrated?
Hindu for example say, that you should fear Naraka, except, if you believe in Hindu gods. Mbuti say, that your so called Jesus isn't a god. They claim, that Konovoum is god and the elephant Gor has revealed the truth of Konovoum to all of us. It's just you, who is suppressing Konovoum's truth in unrighteousness.
Man, gotta feel bad for Dr. Ausman, nothing but hatred and false allegations that were easily disproved by the ACTUAL PEOPLE involved. I don't know him personally but making baseless accusations speaks volumes about his character.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Nailed it. Great quote.
I have always shared this belief, and try to humble myself with this beautiful excerpt, whether I’m acting as a mediator or struggling with rude, unkind behaviour.
The very least I can do is obey our LORD’s wisdom and commandments. To have His love, compassion, mercy, and grace shine through my heart is something I pray for throughout the day, along with wisdom and patience.
Thank you for sharing the passage I too shared with others…it’s truly powerful and humbling!
Many blessings!🇨🇦
Keep going, Dr. Tour. We all support you. I'm very happy that these liars and their lies are being discredited.
Mr. Tour, you are a light shining in the darkness.
A demonstrable liar is what he is.

@@alexnik1181 You're the one fanatically (a k.a. against the logic) clinging to the pseudoscientific Darwinian fairytale, despite of ever growing degrees and amount of debunked pillars on which all types of unproven evolution substitute the only proven one via the scientific method. Yet somehow he is the sheep and not you? 🤦🤦🤦
@@corneliusteslaru9450 Not just him, you are too. I bet you don't think evolution is pseudoscience, you just heard someone else saying it and now repeat it. Sheep.
The guy who accused Dr Tour is clearly wrong. Yet someone in this comments section still labels the first commenter here as "sheep." Really sad indeed
Talk about a total demolition of a person’s unfounded charges. Wow! Good job Dr. Tour. Scientists, Academic colleagues, loved ones, Rice leadership, all coming to Dr. Tour’s defense.
Thankful for your leadership and inspiration.
Talk about someone trying to hijack a person’s legacy. Mr Ausman should be ashamed of himself.
As disappointing the attack is. I think we should all pray for Kevin Ausman. He definitely needs Jesus.
James Tour investigated the accusations against himself, and found himself to be innocent of the 'unfounded charges' lol. Good methodology. Perfect for those who believe in the sky daddy.
@@Reclaimer77 Yeah, like Jimmy is an unbiased source in deciding the veracity of accusations against him! LOL!
@@Sparrow-hawk-666 Reminds me of those news reports that are basically "Government looked into Government's actions, and concluded the Government did nothing wrong...."
🤦♂
@@Reclaimer77
So we should believe the guy who just ranted, over the person who used people and the family of the subject as witnesses?
Keep your head down, we've heard enough
@@CosmicalChrist If you look up "rant" in the dictionary you'll see a picture of James Tour's crazy face lol. The guy is a god-loving Creationist maniac who loses his mind over evolution. Something literally the ENTIRE scientific community knows is true.
But you Christians love the idea of one man standing against all reason against "the system". It perfect fits your moronic world view that breeds conspiracy theories.
To accuse someone of being vindictive based on heresay is in itself vindictive...
Would it not be defamatory and actionable?
@@stephen1137 Not being a lawyer, I'm not sure, but I should think so. Not that it would achieve anything positive. Better to pray for him. 🙂
I pray Dr. AUSMAN finds the Love of Christ.
You should be praying ANYONE/EVERYONE who deserves the Truth gets the opportunity.
Why is this man deserving of your……..prayers?
Who prays for the victims of war? You?
@@thunderous-one Yes.
Ad hominem attacks is all they can do, James has them against the fence on the science.
I know, hearing scientists unpersuasively challenge his points then dismiss him as a God of the gaps scientist is quite something lol
Why would he be angry that a dying man prayed when it shouldn't matter to him either way? He would think all cease to exist whether pray or not. Even if he was right, which he is not, the only reason he would be disturbed is because he fears the believer might be right.
Except he doesn't. Tour is wrong.
@@nexpro6985 That's not an argument, its a statement, I've seen no one come close to proving Tour is wrong, if he was, they would have already, if anything, he's getting the other side to be a bit more honest.
Sounds exactly the same as what the state-run media is doing to the Donald.
The amount of egotestical, narcissistic, envious, prideful people in academia made me despise it more than politics
It's obvious you aren't in academia nor are a scientist. You only believe the picture Tour paints of the field.
And those 4 adjectives in your post also apply to Tour.
@@AncientDownfall-ni8sl No, he believes the "picture" painted by what arrogant and provably false assertions the Christ haters in academe make. Time and time again, you people are proved wrong and yet you continue to push the lies. These lies are why people see that the universities and academe in general have become not merely useless, but actually harmful to society.
@@AncientDownfall-ni8slIt’s not that much more “toxic” than any other normal industry.
Intelligence and over qualifications does beget ego, I won’t pretend like there’s not more egotistic sociopaths. However, it doesn’t automatically make every egotistical academic a spiteful and hateful person, … although being an egotistical atheist with an over-qualifying degree certainly has a stronger correlation with spitefulness and divorce compared to the general public…
I initially thought you were describing calvinists.
25 years ago I sat in a lecture theater looking at slides on DNA. Knowing the dependent relationship between amino acids and proteins and then how those proteins themselves fit into even bigger more life-dependent bio systems and on and on it became SELF-evident that what I was looking at was the most incomprehensible *program* _ever_ . Utterly stunned I _knew_ that the program itself was _informational_ in nature thus leading me to wonder what was the known source of information. That lead me to _mind_ . Mind is the _only_ thing (non-material) we are aware of that produces information (computers/AI is the product of minds). And clearly mindfulness/consciousness must hold properties of causality. This all occurred sitting in a seat in a community college ALL BEFORE I was even aware of the ID debate. Once I witnessed how vociferous the attacks were on ID proponents I _knew_ I was over a VERY important target. This alone changed my life.
THANK YOU DR. TOUR for your ongoing courage and ACADEMIC HONESTY in the face of liars.
Yes, and they talk about DNA as if it were a flimsy scaffold with a mind of its own. There are rules that DNA cannot break, and if it does, synapsis cannot occur. The devilutionists never talk about the rules of cellular biology. It's because they know they are lying. We do not share a common ancestor with Great Apes.
I had a profound revelation in a physics lecture one time too, that doesn't mean the thought I had was representative of reality and it definitely doesn't point to any god
@@HowBoutDemBoyzz The Judaeo Christian Bible contains some 2,500 prophesies made over the course of 1,600 years. Some 2,000 of them have come about exactly as foretold. Some 400 of these were about Jesus the Christ. The probability of this happening by chance is nil. The Bible is the supernatural "Word" of God and it definitely points to the existence of God.

Exactly. It was all conjecture hearsay and uncorroborated accusations. And yet he demands Tour “stick to the facts”.

This video was brilliant. God bless you Dr. Tour.
Ausman has made himself a stain on rice with his demonstrably false accusations. This is self immolation of the first order.

I bet Dr Ausman feels like an idiot after hearing the facts
At least that would be a true perception.
If only he were smart enough to recognize his own failures. But he’s an atheist. People don’t become atheists be use they are smart or humble or teachable. They become atheists to not have to change.
@@michaelbabbitt3837 ......of the facts.
After a narcissistic rant like that the Dr must almost feel like he has real emotions.

Dear Dr. James you are inspiring me for several years. I have become more strong in faith. I started living life more loving with Jesus and I'm more confidence.
These people just don't know what they are doing.

Why do people have such a hatred for Christ? They hate no other teacher like they do him. They hate no other people like they do Christians. Not Hindus, not Buddhists, not Zoroastrians, not Muslims. If anything validates Christ, it's that. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Because they can't put themselves above Jesus Christ, unlike above creatED gods. Jesus destroys materialism - which is their god.
Because they are from the decendabrd of the elite bloodlines who’ve hated Christ before he was born because he changed the game for eternal life , blood won’t do it for them and the nephelim want eternal life for themselves which they gave up by leaving heaven to procreate with human women ..

James Tour has saved my Marriage through the Holy Spirit by taking time from his busy life to answer my emails several years ago, at the time when he was under tremendous attack from the enemy. Saed
Dr. James Tour, this is one of your most extraordinary videos; it showed me how powerful your testimony is among your colleagues, how powerful and disturbing and challenging your effect is on the scientific community and how the enemy hates your work.
You must be a role model for many .
May our dear Lord guide you and protect you 🙏
Sounds like it's an honor to call Dr. Richard Smalley a brother in the Lord.
Praying for Dr. Kevin Ausman in his bitterness. Seems to be taking after Dave Farina.
I saw Tour in the debate with Dave Farina. Tour was an embarrassment to Rice University and academia as a whole.
@@nexpro6985it’s okay to have an opinion, yours is just wrong 😂😉
When he calls what are your Christian beliefs "unscientific" that is the problem in a nutshell. It is your Christian beliefs that are a problem to him, but he is masking his complaint in personal terms, rather than openly attacking your Christian beliefs. He is not knowledgeable enough to attempt to refute Christianity, nor can he stumble you in regards to science, so he is attacking you on a personal basis. Recently, I've come to the opinion that it is the sin (demon) of PRIDE that drives the unbeliever, especially the scoffers and mockers. Like Satan, they have become PROUD of their stance against God, yet some small flicker of doubt lingers, so they scoff and mock at Christianity, while sadly and secretly hoping to be converted, but it is PRIDE that is behind the disbelief and driving the disbelief. Satan is goading this poor man to perform what he believes is a "mission" or "assignment" to "expose" the "truth". He truly is in Satan's grip. I believe you expertly and civily refuted his claims.
I agree!

Poor soul Dr. Ausman, being a very very diehard atheist, I can give him a break for making himself a fool to make false and ludicrous comments about the proceedings in a Christian memorial and life celebration service ! I bet he likely has never been to such a service and he also couldn’t stand every step in it ! It’s clear Dr. Ausman just hates God and Christians so much that he became so livid about it all ! He disrespected Dr. Smalley, his wife, his other family members with his conjectures and slimy comments based on his ignorance and arrogance.
Wow! This backfired into a beautiful testimony!!! How glorious it is to follow Christ!
What an amazing opportunity to tell of Rick Smalley's testimony in Christ.
Thanks
I love you Dr. Tour. You are my brother in Christ.
Thank you for including such gracious portrayal of Debbie and Rick Smalley's faith and professionalism.
I will forget Rick Aussman, but not your honest representation of the facts and your relationship with Rick Smalley
Mr. Tour, you are light of Rice university. Darkness wants to fight you and people led by ungodly spirits trying to attack you. But God is bigger. Keep your good faith.
ENVY IS DISGUSTING. Father, let no envy rot my bones.
This went from a rebuttal video to a beautiful portrayal of a brilliant man finding meaning in the universe he was studying.
This is a thorough dismantling of Kevin Ausman's accusations.
God bless Dr. Kevin Ausman for bringing this ministry of Jim Tour’s to many! The actual type of ministry I’m inclined to financially support!!
Ausman is a tool of the enemy to try to discredit you because you're an amazing shining light for God's truths. Stand strong!
This fella sounds like a sophisticated version of Dave “the failed professor” Farina 😂😂😂😂.
Bingo
No not Fake Professor Dave Farina? The guy that just reads abstracts of papers and never understands the body of work that he talks about. This accuser will rue the day he bared false witness.
Dave has retreated to an echo chamber on youtube; he does nothing for academic science, or for applied science, unlike Tour who continues to make advances in his field.
I like how Sy Garte roasted Farina on Twitter when Farina tried to act snarky to something Sy said.
I couldn't care less about what dr. Ausman and his dillusional claims._ God is merciful.
What a beautiful story of conversion. "Into the darkness we shine, and out of the ashes we rise."HalleluYah!
Thanks for letting us know the truth, and done so eloquently and without resentment.
Glad that you are addressing this issue...it would have damaging not to especially for many of us who had grown to rely on you for correct information especially in the controversial OOL area

Last thing I want to see is Kevin continuously hurt Rick's family with some petty back and forth.
I love how this guy shoots his own story in the foot by publishing the article himself without letting you review it! Total own-goal.
He owes you a huge apology. His credibility is totally shot.
May God Bless you, Dr. Tour. Thank you for making this video.
If he's 'smarter than most people' it should not take long to appreciate, the tactful nuanced skills used by Dr. Tour. What a way to dismantle the narrative.
Intelligently argued. Great video.
If there is a better purpose of CZcams I've not seen it. Ausman has ruined his name and embarrassed his family. "Better to be silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and confirm all doubt"
It is not unusual for Dr. Ausman to call you vindictive, when all you've ever done was to put pressure on those who oppose you for the wrong reasons to simply qualify their arguments. To an atheistic liberal mind, simply seeking truth can look "vindictive". They are more accustomed to seeing conservative, rational minded persons not firing back, but just rolling over.
Thank you James. You're a fine example for right-minded individuals to not give up the ship! God bless you Brother in all you do.
Thank you for your personal ministry and your public testimony, they are extremely encouraging to me. I trust the peace of God is holding you up in the face of this unfortunate attack. The edification I receive from your videos is greatly appreciated and when these negative aspects emerge it only compels me to pray for your peace and for their needed relationship with their creator. Again, thank you Dr. Tour.
Funerals with hope are indeed very disconcerting for those who have none.
This guy is hardly worth your time. He's horribly insecure. He struggling with something and he's trying to make you the bad guy in this situation. He's working hard to make you the bad guy so that he is justified in rejecting God.
Well where there's life there is hope I guess..
Luke, 6:28, Bless them that curse you, pray for them which despitefully use you. Don't let the evil one get to you, and prey for the lost that they may open their heart to the Father in heaven. May the Lord Bless you more and more everyday brother Tour, and thankyou for your preaching.
As a former in-your-face-atheist I can sympathize with the all-too-soon-to-be-erstwhile Dr Ausman who hath not “…ears to hear” but can only listen to the endless maelstrom of the same old thoughts daily sapping his attention and polluting his agents of perception. Someone in this conversation is an embarrassment alright.
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
Praise GOD for your witness Dr. Tour… I pray that Dr. Ausman repent at this public exposure with the TRUTH of GOD’s mercy and love for him. Thank you for letting GOD speak through you 🙏🏻
there is a rule of thumb: if a man refused to publicly stand face-to-face with the one he accused, he is lying and a coward.
I think Jim is one of the most humble and gracious people I've met. I wrote him an email a while back concerning a disagreement I had with him about the Vax. I am a total nobody not a scientist or prof or anything. Contrary to the accusations being hurled Dr. Tour was very gracious and kind in his response even though I was challenging things he had said. He certainly wasn't rude or vindictive at all. It was my experience that Jim was absolutely conducting himself in a manor that was consistent with his Christian beliefs and values. Personally I find attacks in his character to be petty and disgusting and just pathetic. You can see in every video he makes that he is objective, logical and genuinely interested in the pursuit of Truth contrary to the people attacking him who only seem interested in their own personal glorification and virtue signaling. I don't always agree with everything Dr. Tour says but I respect him and I never doubt his integrity. I hope I get to meet him and shake his hand and thank him in person for all his wonderful videos.
What was the disagreement about the Vax? Just curious.
This attack on Dr. Tour seems to be an egregious exercise in petty slander and lies unbecoming a professional even though we all know the pettiness so prevalent in many aspects of life. Sad that Dr. Tour has to address such garbage. BTW, I loved hearing of the stories of Dr. Smalley's encounters with Dr. Tour and Dr. Ross.
This BS needs to be address. Lying tongues are dangerous.
Hang in there Jim. Your life, your testimony, your work with science and your love of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fellow scientists and students is a testimony to your character. I recall a comment made by our Master when He said, I came to give sight to the blind and to blind those who say they can see. Seems like Kevin Ausman has been blinded to the truth. We will keep praying for his soul, that he will come to know the Holy and victorious Trinity.
Well, I was waiting for that and you didn't disappoint. It was a comprehensive demolition of your opponents arguments. Completely blew them out of the water
This is such a beautiful rebuttal Dr Tour!
Dr. Tour, this is a fantastic rebuttal. Very procedurally dismantled by sticking to the facts and speaking to the direct players involved. If Dr. Ausman holds to his original talking points, he is in denial, and I hope he offers an apology.
Jealousy makes you nasty🙁
Father, I pray for Dr. Kevin. Help him to let go of his bitterness and envy. Humble him, as only you know how to do.
Protect Dr. James. Help him to continue patiently, and to have discernment.

@@316350 i do appreciate that, truly I do. I wasn't trying to be hateful, but I implore you to learn to follow the instructions of Christ. Let's be like him yes? Let's listen to him, and believe he meant what he said, and he knew what he was saying, and he wasnt just saying it to be saying it... and let's follow those teachings and instructions. Please? I don't know you, but I love you, and I hope you will soon come to follow his commands.
@@316350 I appreciate that brother I really do, truly.
But perhaps we should follow the instructions given to us by Christ? Maybe not disobey him and just toss his words out the window like they're meaningless? Let's follow the good teacher shall we? Let's do as he says. Be well!
@@316350 thank you! But perhaps we should listen to Christ and not disobey him? That's all I'm asking of you brother. Stop disobeying him. Take care
It became more and more obvious that Dr. Ausman’s comments on Dr. Tour with whom he had no career intersection at all, with the exception of appearing on a published article in which Dr. Ausman erroneously identified Dr. Tour as Jim instead of his usual and commonly known first name James. He even admitted that Dr. Tour would not remember him because they only spoke with each other once for a few minutes. Yet Dr. Ausman had very eloquently and with confidence, spoke of and accused him with many seriously negative words - which if were true, would mean Dr. Tour was a pretty indecent and indeed ‘bad character’ person. Those things Dr. Ausman said about JMT were apparently all in his mind filled by exaggerated, distorted and imagined prejudices against Dr. Tour out of his grievances towards Jesus Christ and all fervently truthful Christians, one of them is Dr. Tour. He obviously was not happy with Dr. Hugh Ross either, either because Dr. Ross is such an effective witness of Jesus Christ as Savior and God, and also a very intelligent astrophysicist!
It seems to me Dr.Ausman is pretty sick in his mind to have accused Dr. Tour without knowing him in any significant degree or capacity. He needs salvation like all human beings, but he is unfortunately trapped in his militant atheism. I say ‘militant’ because Dr. Ausman appears to be so sure that there is no God behind and before this seen and unseen universe for ?? reason- maybe because he perceives himself to be much more smart than most people sharing this earth with him ? He was talking so smoothly about Dr. Tour in such judgmental words and depiction that I got a sense that he felt he is both the best prosecutor, best judge and an above-all-men juror combined. How sad that a man with a PhD degree from Rice can allow his anti-God, anti-religious bias went so far to turn himself into such a vindictive chit making series of false accusation with an expression on his face as if he were the most honorable truth revealer but in fact he was doing exactly the opposite. Maybe he can plead ‘not guilty’ on account of his ‘poor memory’ trait ?
That rebuttal was about as thorough and convincing as I have ever seen. Well done, Dr. Tour.
I'm glad we have a believer who does not shirk or cringe when it comes to standing up for himself against these unwarranted and obviously ill conceived attacks.
I am also glad and proud we have a scientist who publicly pushes effectively and honestly for more truth in the public dispensation of scientific claims, which most or all of us have understood for some time are often lies and bs.
Very humbly and masterfully refuted !!! God Bless
God bless you Sir, whenever someone is successful you will be criticized and slandered.
The quality of the production of this video is outstanding. Superb quality. Extremely well produced from both a visual as well as content perspective. The team behind this is truly remarkable and deserves all the kudos.
We thank you Dr. Brother Tour for your gracious service to uphold the Gospel through your work and testimony. God bless you brother James
Pure evil on Kevin's behalf. Appreciate this JT, I was hoping you would respond to these allegations. You went above and beyond my expectations.
Thank you for this very clear video of the events in question, and your willingness to be truthful and gracious. You are simple asking for an actual physical experimental process that is repeatable and have the many data sets to analyze to draw conclusions form.
You inspire so many of us. God bless you.
This entire video shows how loving and supportive Dr. Tours and his friends really are. It makes everyone, including Dr. Boul and Dr. Smalley and his wife, look loving and kind. The entire short event is a proof of the scripture which says, “God turns all things to good for those who love him.”
The way you honored Dr. Smalley and the others really conveys how NOT-vindictive you really are.
Kevin Ausman reminds me of Norman Osborn, the bad guy in Spider Man.
Day before I watched this… I read Jeremiah 24-28, the battle between Hananiah and Jeremiah. It did not go well for Hananiah, either.
A man of science turned to God at the end of his journey on earth, and an atheist can't handle it.
Dr Tour! This is one of your best videos! (And the others are excellent!). Matthew 5:11-12
Thanks for all you do ❤
I stand with Dr Tour.
From this video, you can see Ausman just bad mouth Tour. Ausman can actually be taken to court.
Goodness. There seems to be at the very least, a lot of insecurity going on with this person, Kevin. And of course, he has good reason to feel this way, but not to take it out on others.
God bless, and keep you James.
this is a wonderful example of how to dismantle the false attacks of slanderers driven by envy and atheistic fanaticism
Thanks for sharing this message with everyone Dr Tour. This has been wonderful.
"crossing him considered by many would be a career ending move". Ausman can give no examples. Obvious slander
These People need Prayers,
IN life, there are always People with Different natures, and Personalities and different agendas!
Being Gracious and Loving is Gods Command! 🎉
Just more proof that Satan is the father of lies.
Wow. That had to take a lot of time to put together! Great job and I hope this will spare you future annoyances.
Thank you for sharing this Dr. Tour. God is working through you in a powerful way to reach so many and we are grateful for that!!
I’m really shocked at what this Kevin Ausman is saying publicly. I listen to Dr Tour a lot an find him really inspiring!
In body language science, that man does not like the taste of the lies he's telling. What a sad bitter man.
David beseeching God with prayer for his enemies who unjustly accuse him are so appropriate, Dr. Tour. We will pray as well. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you, Dr. Tour, for your integrity and for setting an good example.
I once heard advice…”Don't spend your time defending yourself. Let God defend you and those closest to you defend you. You can spend your whole life dispelling rumors.”
Dr. Tour offered Dr. Ausman a fair and open invitation to present specific information to "back up" his defamatory statements about Tour--- and Ausman declined the invitation. Therefore, I must conclude that Dr. Ausman has fabricated these allegations and is a fraud. I genuinely hope that Dr. Ausman recants his slanderous comments about Dr. Tour and publicly apologizes to Dr. Tour. I wish well-being to all involved in this matter.
Jim, I appreciate your work!
Absolutely beautiful. Dr Ausman has completely humiliated himself and yet God has used it as an opportunity to share more about Jesus. Thank you, Dr Tour.
I pray that I would have your patience and calmness towards those that come against me. You are awesome Dr. TOUR! GOD BLESS!
Lord God Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit Bless James Tour and his family.
Dr Tour, I have deep admiration for the humility you displayed, in firstly giving thought to the accusations brought against you by Dr Ausman.
Secondly, for extending yourself to address these fallacious commentary.
I believe that this attempt to cast aspersions on your works only solidifies your posture in the field academia as a giant and a man of truth.
I thank God for entrusting you with heavenly secrets to make known to us as we marvel and delight in His grandeur.
I pray for your courage in that you press on in your pursuit of knowing the beauty of our Creator and further revealing His majesty.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Jesus thank you, thank you Lord for this Man Dr Jame tour, a man of science who upholds your word a christian man full of strength, compassion and love for truth our Lord Jesus Christ Amen.
