[QUOTE="Mountainmike, post: 77158118, member: 392252"] There are no right or wrong answers to this. For everyone it is speculation / belief. I am just curious to know what people think. Many think the product of abiogenesis ( or creation) was a minimal living organism, then evolution took over to produce the life we see today. I am talking to you… But There is a massive void between the structure of the simplest organisms we know, and the Simplicitly needed to be likely to form by chemistry alone. even Craig ventner, stripping down cells, I believe failed to get down below a couple of hundred genes before his backward engineering of cells was unstable or ceased to function. So there is no real picture of life before that. If someone’s done less as a backward engineering reduction, than I am interested. So I am curious to know peoples opinions on answers to these - don’t know is ok as answer, 1/ do you believe there were multiple starts to life or just one? 2/ do you believe the life start process should still be continuing? If not why not? 3/ do you believe early reproduction was what we would term asexual? 4/ so do you believe HGT was the first way two genomes interacted for diversity? Otherwise how did diversity happen? 5/ how many genes ( ie information content in bits) do you believe the first genome had? 6/ do you believe that DNA/RNA/nucleic acid was the first genome or only a later one? 7/ do you believe that sexual reproduction Only started with dna/rna? 8/ if you believe in other than dna as genome how complicated do you think ( bits infirmation) a genome carried before the transition to DNA/ RNA 9/ do you believe the genome was / is the only contributor to diversity? If not what else? I guess the last one is.. 10/ if you can’t answer any or all of those how can you say it’s a fact it happened at all which many seem to do now? For the abiogenesis believers, I am fascinated how you think life developed? to me - this is most of the problem , not a small detail at the start. [/QUOTE]
