Abiogenesis

[HARK!]

How should we view it?

How should we view it?

Well it definitely happened.

 

[HARK!]

Well it definitely happened.

Exactly what happened?

 

[Larniavc]

Exactly what happened?

Probably some amino acids got enveloped in a lipid membrane at some point and started replicating.

Probably to amino acids got enveloped in a lipid membrane at some point and started replicating.

That was a quick downgrade. You went from definitely to probably in one post.

So what's the probability? Do you have any numbers?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

There's definitely science behind it.

 

[HARK!]

There's definitely science behind it.

There is science behind science fiction novels; but they're not science. In absence of your vote, I suspect that you are already aware of this.

It definitely happened. Probably that way.

I voted. Happy now?
And no, you're not really grasping the whole. There is science behind abiogenesis, because if there wasn't, people wouldn't be actively researching and studying it.

What do you mean, ‘numbers’?

That's weird. I don't see your vote.

And no, you're not really grasping the whole. There is science behind abiogenesis, because if there wasn't, people wouldn't be actively researching and studying it.

Again there's science behind science fiction. There's science behind ghost sightings; and people are actively researching it. Is that science?

 

[Larniavc]

What happened?

Abiogenesis. I think you are losing me, here.

At one point there was no biological life on the planet, then there was some.

So at some point abiogenesis happened.

 

[HARK!]

What do you mean, ‘numbers’?

What is the probability? Do you have any hard numbers?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

That's weird. I don't see your vote.

I did vote, trust me. Maybe it's a small glitch. I voted science.

Again there's science behind science fiction. There's science behind ghost sightings; and people are actively researching it. Is that science?

In a very broad sense, yes. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't science.

So at some point abiogenesis happened.

How did it happen?

 

[Larniavc]

No. That would be silly.

How should we view it?

Impossible. Scientists have been trying for 60 years, in perfect, controlled laboratory conditions. They've failed. Yet they imagine that somehow, in a terrible environment, life just happened?

Not convinced? Nobel prize winner and evolutionist Dr Francis Crick:

“An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle" and, "Every time I write a paper on the origin of life, I determine I will never write another one, because there is too much speculation running after too few facts."

Dr Crick was almost right. The origin of life is a miracle. There is no other plausible explanation.

 

[Larniavc]

How did it happen?

As I said, some amino acids got caught up in a lipid layer.

 

[HARK!]

I did vote, trust me. Maybe it's a small glitch. I voted science.

You say it's science in a broad sense. What exactly do you mean by "broad sense?"

In a very broad sense, yes. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't science.

Why would you say I don't like it?
