Thank you for watching! Very soon, we will be releasing a video addressing Andrew Barron's list of accusations, including plagiarism. We look forward to presenting more testimony, emails, and primary source documentation from over two decades ago. Subscribe to get notified! 👍 - Producer

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.

Envy is disgusting

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.

We must pray for Kevin Ausman. He is a troubled man.

They are consumed by Jealousy. They must be stopped and humbled. Oh, and they ruin education with their lies. Pray for the youth.

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.

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.

I stand firmly behind you Dr. Tours because you speak truth where others cannot stomach it. God is with you always!

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.

To accuse someone of being vindictive based on heresay is in itself vindictive...

I pray Dr. AUSMAN finds the Love of Christ.

Ad hominem attacks is all they can do, James has them against the fence on the science.

The amount of egotestical, narcissistic, envious, prideful people in academia made me despise it more than politics

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.

"Stick to the facts." but Ausman admitted that he made accustions with no 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.

Kevin Ausman does sound like a typical atheist, youtube, propagandist. Nothing unique, nothing new nothing true. Really it's quite sad. Thank you for the concise and thorough rebuttals. 👍

I bet Dr Ausman feels like an idiot after hearing the facts

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. I'm Pastor Arfan Moris from Pakistan. God bless Dr James and all his team.

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.

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.

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.

Please sue these people for defamation.

Dr. Schmidt made the best point. “I’m really mystified why anybody would complain about Christian comments at a funeral… topics of funerals are those of eternity, right? What more would you expect?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 30:38

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 😂😂😂😂.

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

OK Kevin Ausman, the ball is in your court. We're awaiting your return volley.

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. In the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, amen.

Jealousy makes you nasty🙁

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.

You inspire so many of us. God bless you.

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.

We thank you Dr. Brother Tour for your gracious service to uphold the Gospel through your work and testimony. God bless you brother James

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.”

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. 🙏🏻❤️

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.”

Thank you, Dr. Tour, for your integrity and for setting an good example.

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.
