On the topic of 'scientifically accurate animations of biological processes'. You may know of these videos, but I thought these might be worth sharing for others interested in this topic: Here is a TEDTalk by Drew Berry: Animations of unseeable biology. (uploaded in 2012) link Here is also a more recent video by Veritasium on YT that also talks about these animations. (uploaded in 2017) ▶ this video
Not directly related to photosynthesis, just the complexity of biology in general. All of these original animations were done by Drew Berry, Veritasium just packaged a few of them in an easy to digest format ▶ this video
When I watch animations of how the cell works at a molecular level [0], I can't help but wonder how can this level of sheer complexity in dna transcription, protein production, and many other supporting functions in a single cell works in perfect harmony. It's mind boggling. I admit that I'm biased, but I don't think this could have evolved through random processes. I'm a believer in Intelligent Design. ▶ this video link link
