The state of the world is constant decay. And somehow out of a state of corruption and decay “life” magically develops by accident. They’re looking in the wrong place to find the origin of life.

Life was spoken into existence ...

Thanks ETL.
"To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow." -- Metrodorus, 4th c BC Greek philosopher
"Heaven and earth are large, yet in the whole of space they are but as a small grain of rice. How unreasonable it would be to suppose that, besides the heaven and earth which we can see, there are no other heavens and no other earths." -- Teng Mu, 13th c AD Chinese philosopher
"But I am not really willing to accept your premise, because it may well be that the means of communications they have are of a kind that we do not know how to receive, and that they would not have the means of communicating with sufficiently powerful radio or optical signals. That is something which, technologically, is too difficult for them but they would have some other means we would not recognize." -- Thomas J. Gold, 'Communication with Extraterrestial Intelligence' (Sagan, ed)

Thank you, Chainmail.
Several years ago, I made myself very unpopular in a science newsgroup by saying that, while individual organisms might indeed have evolved, they could not possibly also have evolved "the ability to evolve". Any explanation of that needs at least Aristotelian entelechy, and however you slice it, that implies the creation of past effects by future causes. Anathema to modern science.
And if that brings to mind Revelation i:8, I am of the same mind. God is both First Cause and Final Cause.
