Graham Cairns-Smith - WikipediaI have a basic understanding chemistry. I actually make some of my own chemicals at home.
I'm sorry. I should have stated the question more clearly.
Exactly what are the mechanics of the process for creating life?
Graham Cairns-Smith - Wikipedia
So, we can't do it on purpose, with all our intelligence, in controlled conditions, but we are supposed to believe it happened by accident?Well if scientists don't know precisely how life first started (and they don't), they can't exactly reproduce it except by trying a bunch of different things and hoping one of them works. But they admit that's an extreme long shot.
If it's relatively straightforward, they should be able to replicate it, no problem. But DNA is anything but simple.Not so. Take a look at the following to see how peptides and amino acids can self assemble
Self-Assembling Peptides and Their Application in the Treatment of Diseases
Amino Acid Based Self-assembled Nanostructures: Complex Structures from Remarkably Simple Building Blocks
Relatively straight forwards.
Yes, and his idea was retested and it still worked. And that is only one source. Like it or not the Miller-Urey experiment was a success because it demonstrated how to test one way that amino acids can form.Miller was wrong about a lot of things...
It does not start out with a life form.Another hypothesis...
"The clay hypothesis suggests how biologically inert matter helped the evolution of early life forms"
If you start out with a life form; how is this a process for creating a life form?
I can do a better job breeding fruit flies.
Modern DNA is anything but simple. Don't assume that the first life was complex. Second it probably did not have DNA.If it's relatively straightforward, they should be able to replicate it, no problem. But DNA is anything but simple.
Im a little rusty on all this, but didn't he eliminate oxegon to get the results he wanted?Yes, and his idea was retested and it still worked. And that is only one source. Like it or not the Miller-Urey experiment was a success because it demonstrated how to test one way that amino acids can form.
Is it supposed to? In any case, we don't even know that "everything came from nothing."An intelligent designer seems like the most sane explanation there is. Besides, even if life could form spontaneously, that doesn't explain how everything comes from nothing.
Science will eventually catch up to theology, maybe, but why is the supernatural so hard to imagine? We humans seem to be fascinated by the supernatural, it reigns on the movie screen and most everyone believes in God or a god. How does that idea even percolate in our imaginations if there isn't some basis in truth?Sure. But how, exactly, did it go down? That's what we hope science will eventually tell us.
Yes,,there's a whole lot we don't know.Is it supposed to? In any case, we don't even know that "everything came from nothing."
Of course. There was no molecular oxygen in the early atmosphere.Im a little rusty on all this, but didn't he eliminate oxegon to get the results he wanted?
