Also, the video showed the voltage already having gone lower than -0.5 mV. A conservative estimate based upon waveform is -4 mv of undershoot. Charge transfer could maybe get the membranes above threshold voltage but that alone should have no undershoot, at all.

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
