Quote:Abiogenesis imagines a specific way that life is created from chemistry alone. The laws of chemistry could work in unison with other laws of nature to produce life, this would make it far less difficult.
The laws of chemistry are laws of physics, expressed on a different level. Abiogenesis simply claims that life arose from non-life.
Organic material are spontaneously created by inorganic material. This a is fact and an easily testable one. Life, of course, is more than just organic material, but there are many theories abou the development of life that do not necessarily require a tremendous amount of time.
Not to mention that self-replicating organic material probably developed over a span of 1.5 billion years. I'd say that's more than enough time for such structures to rise and evolve.
The details of their origins and evolution are still not entirely clear, but the paradigm of abiogenesis is accepted by practically any expert inthe field. Panspermia, by the way, is a form of abiogenesis that simply allows for a longer time span.
