Origin of Life

Extract

"It is virtually certain, therefore, that life did not originate by random chemical reactions in a prebiotic soup. Actually, this conclusion is not controversial. All reputable scientists who have studied the problem, whatever their ideology, concur with this view. It is a pity that popular texts on the origin of life make no mention of these odds.Regrettably, popular books and media productions continue to confidently assert that ‘life started by chance chemical processes in a prebiotic soup."

"All reputable scientists who have studied the problem, whatever their ideology, concur with this view."

This is absolutely false (unless you mean "actually random" as opposed to "natural"). Just type "origin of life" into an online database and you will find a host of articles on the subject (over 400,000 on one), proving that the subject is an area of intense research.

    Actually, I think the equation works. The proper mathematical illustration is some say 2+2+0=4, but others say 2+2+God=4, therefore God=0. In your illustration, nobody thinks ... Read More
