Evolutionary theory is revised nearly as often as Obama’s economic numbers are.

I wish they would stop teaching things they really don’t know.

I have always had very simplistic questions concerning the “primordial soup” theory on the origin of life.
The earth is thought to have been here for billions of years, did life begin in the “primordial soup” just once? Did it happen many times? Did the many occurances happen thousands or millions of years apart?
If life began accidently in the “primordial soup” why cannot scientists who want to believe this make life happen intentionally, on purpose?

I believe that it was God all along and I have not changed with any of this changing stories. These changing stories are jokes to me.

The team argue that the first donor was hydrogen and the first acceptor was CO2. So CO2 is our mother. Uh oh, we need to tell Al Gore he's trying to kill our biological mother! Since CO2 was here before man and it was the original mother of all life we should do all we can to create as much CO2 in honor of the life it has given all of us.

What I find interesting is that most people who choose to believe that life was a chemical ‘accident’, believe in extra-terrestrial life. I guess the universe must be accident prone.
To: decimon
Problem with this is that is still fails to account for a lot of the other deficiencies in the oceanic abiogenesis model that pretty much kill it, scientifically.

created by mother Earth ????
They are proposing that the environment was different than the 80 year-old hypothesis, fair enough. But how do they explain the specified information in DNA ?
The odds of creating a 250-protein cell (in theory the smallest number of proteins needed for a single cell) has been estimated at 1:1041,000

On purpose: All things remaining the same, I'm betting maybe under 50 - probably not over 100 - years.

For 80 years it has been accepted that early life began in a 'primordial soup' of organic molecules before evolving out of the oceans millions of years later.Wouldn't that make the theory settled science? Who are these deniers who think they can question settled science?
