If I said "Life has always existed" you would dismiss that based upon what we have scientifically discovered about life as we know it on this planet.
And saying "Life has always existed" doesn't really explain anything does it.
So when I ask - "How do you explain the existence of god" ? the usual answer is "Well, god has always existed."
Do you see how that doesn't really explain anything ?
We know life hasn't always existed because we have evidence of life. We have evidence of biological change over time. As we look back in the fossil record, we see the various stages of life. There were no kangaroos 2 billion years ago.
"How do you explain kangaroos" ?
Do you think they were simply created one day ?
Is that any kind of explanation ?
Experiments show that if you recreate the early chemical composition on Earth from billions of years ago and then add an electric charge to reproduce lightning, complex amino acids will form from inorganic chemicals.
We don't know exactly how abiogenesis works, but we are working on it.
