Reply to "What Is The Origin Of Life?"

So Bill, do you reject chemistry?  As I said before, chemistry is probably a better discipline to approach biogenesis from than evolution.  I, like most scientists, do not know how life began. Scientists know that under certain conditions that occur in nature inorganic compounds can be catalyzed into organic compounds.  Scientists have created in the laboratory cell wall-like membranes using organic compounds.  Still we don't have all the answers to the question of how life arose from inorganic compounds, but progress is being made.  Chemistry cannot completely explain the origin of life, and chemistry, life and therefore evolution are connected at the hip.

 

"I do not know" is perfectly acceptable scientific answer.  But just because we don't know how something happened does not necessitate the conclusion of "god did it."  Your problem with evolution is not that it is incomplete science, but the fact that the Theory of Evolution is anathema to your religious paradigm and therefore you must reject it.  I don't have a problem with it if you say "I reject Evolution because of my religion."  At least that is honest.  But to try to discredit the science of evolution because it does not answer a question it never tried to answer is unsound reasoning. 

 

Have a nice day!
