New discovery makes Darwinists’ case even harder to make

New discovery makes Darwinists’ case even harder to make

A teaser from the piece:

There’s an old story about a chemist, a physicist, and an economist stranded on a desert island with nothing to eat but a can of soup. Puzzling over how to open the can, the chemist says, “Let’s heat the can until it swells and bursts from the buildup of gases.” “No, no,” says the physicist, “let’s throw it off that cliff with just enough kinetic energy to split it open on the rocks below.” The economist, after thinking a moment says, “Assume a can opener.”

There’s more than one trade that deals in assumptions. The way Darwinists approach the origin of life is a lot like that economist’s idea for opening the can. The Darwinian mechanism of mutation and natural selection explains everything about life, we’re told—except how it began. “Assume a self-replicating cell containing information in the form of genetic code,” Darwinists are forced to say. Well, fine. But where did that little miracle come from?. . .​

If you had taken the time to read the scientific paper freely available
Here:
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v537/n7621/full/nature19355.html

you will notice that the scientists are not really surprised because it confirmed their theory that life emerged in shallow marine water in that period of time ie in the Hadean eon (>4,000 Ma)

Here what they wrote:
''The presence of the ISB stromatolites demonstrates the establishment of shallow marine carbonate production with biotic CO2 sequestration by 3,700 million years ago (Ma), near the start of Earth’s sedimentary record. A sophistication of life by 3,700 Ma is in accord with genetic molecular clock studies placing life’s origin in the Hadean eon (>4,000 Ma)

Only a few problematic assumptions being made there:
First, the age
Second, the habitat
Third, the materials being available
Fourth, abiogenesis being possible

First, the age

Can you elaborate more...

-Second, the habitat
-Third, the materials being available

The subject matter is about MICROBIAL life not about elephants...

-Fourth, abiogenesis being possible

They don't pretend they know how microbial life emerged 4 billion years ago...like we don't know how God created life...


The Beginnings of Life - The Physics of the Universe
The modern definition of abiogenesis, however, is concerned with the formation of the simplest forms of life from primordial chemicals, rather than the old Aristotelian concept of abiogenesis, which postulated the formation of fully-formed complex organisms by spontaneous generation. It becomes, then, the search for some kind of molecule (along the lines of RNA or DNA) that is simple enough that it can be made by physical processes on the young Earth, yet complicated enough that it can take charge of making more of itself, which is probably what most people would recognize as constituting “life”.

The thing they said is A sophistication of [MICROBIAL] life by 3,700 Ma is in accord with genetic molecular clock studies placing life’s origin in the Hadean eon (>4,000 Ma)
