Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth
#39
RE: Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth
People who get so hung up on the origin of life beyond a scientific interest usually do not realize just how hard it is to define what is meant by life as distinct from non-life. Crystals spontaneously form and grow. Why are they not alive?

Because we do not know how it first happened we do not know it is extremely rare or just uncommon. It is reasonable to assume spontaneously formed life today would be so primitive that the established forms consider it food and it is always eaten before a billion years of evolution can occur to make it competitive.

For all we know it is so simple that some day some researcher might spill a little molybdenum sulphate or something not as common like iron oxide into a vial of amino acids and suddenly there is self-replicating life.

Until we figure out how it happened we really can't say much about it. That we includes theists claiming it required a god.
