Abiogenesis
and the Origin of Life
How
non-living
matter
became
living
matter
is
called abiogenesis. Biogenesis
is
life
from
life. Bio,
meaning
life,
and
genesis,
meaning
creation,
or
life
creating
life.
By putting the “a”
in front of it you
are inferring the
opposite - life from
non-life. Abiogenesis
is
something
not
even
addressed
by
evolutionary
theory. It
is
interesting
to
note
that
all
attempts
to
demonstrate
how
chemicals
can
combine
to
even
form
the
protein
building
blocks
for
life
have
proved
insurmountable. These
building
blocks
are
coded
for
in
the
DNA. Kind
of
a
“chicken
and
the
egg” kind
of
thing
at
the
molecular
level
of
biology. Of
course
demonstrating
the
chemical
origin
of
the
proteins
essential
for
life
seems
simple
in
comparison
to
showing
a
naturalistic
origin
for
the
complex
nanotechnology
cell
factories
made
up
of
proteins. If
proving abiogenesis
is
compared
to
traveling
the
250,000
miles
to
the
moon,
we
have
not
moved
even
a
fraction
of
an
inch. So
you
see,
even
if
evolution
were
true,
and
it
is
not,
based
on
our
current
science
today,
the
rise
of
living
matter
from
non-living
is
a
miracle
in
every
sense
of
the
word. Keep
that
in
mind. The
only
thing
that
makes
evolution
intellectually
appealing
is
the
amazing
capabilities
of
cells
at
the
submicroscopic
level. And
the
origin
of
this
amazing
super-miniaturized
technology
defies
all
attempts
at
naturalistic
explanation.
The
Big
Bang
Another
common
misconception
is
that
the
“big
bang” is
part
of
evolution. The
big
bang
theory
is
a
theory
in
and
of
itself. Just
as
evolution
is
a
theory
for
the
origin
of
the
diversity
of
life
(not
origin
of
life),
big
bang
is
a
theory
about
the
origin
of
the
cosmos. Big
bang
theory
is
so
speculative,
and
so
fraught
with
problems
and
inconsistencies,
it
boggles
my
mind
they
can
even
talk
seriously
about
it. But
interestingly
enough,
its
introduction
was
actually
a
step
in
the
right
direction
for
creationists,
for
it
puts
forth
that
the
universe
had
an
origin
in
the
past. Believe
it
or
not,
it
was
not
until
the
early
1970s
that
the
majority
of
cosmologist
believed
this.
The “steady state
model,” which
contends the
universe is eternal,
was the generally
accepted model for
the universe before
1970.
Stellar
Hypothesis
Big
bang
theory
speculates
on
the
origin
of
the
cosmos,
but
it
does
not
attempt
to
explain
the
formation
stellar
objects. Just
as
evolution
addresses
the
origin
of
the
diversity
of
life,
but
not
the
origin
of
life,
big
bang
addresses
the
origin
of
the
cosmos,
but
not
the
origin
of
the
structure
of
the
cosmos. Stellar
objects
are
all
the
different
things
that
exist
in
the
cosmos. Moons,
planets,
stars,
quasars,
black
holes,
nebulae,
constellations,
and
galaxies
are
all
examples
of
stellar
objects. Simply
put,
the
stellar
hypothesis
attempts
to
explain
how
these
objects
formed
after
all
the
matter
in
the
universe
was
released
in
the
big
bang. You
see,
this
wave
front
of
matter
flying
out
from
the
big
bang
must
undergo
a
significant
transformation
to
become
the
universe
we
see
today. At
night
you
will
notice
that
the
universe
is
mostly
empty
space. Probably
99.999%
of
the
universe
is
empty,
from
what
we
can
currently
tell. This
begs
the
question
of
how
could
matter
dispersed
in
all
directions
from
a
big
bang
coalesce
so
tightly
in
a
multitude
of
remote
locations
in
the
universe. Well,
that
is
a
problem
isn’t
it. But
my
point
is,
even
the
big
bang
does
not
attempt
to
explain
the
origin
of
the
ordered
cosmos
in
its
entirety. It
only
states
that “nothing” (believe
it
or
not,
that’s
what
they
say)
blew
up
and
originated
space-time
and
matter. The
structure
we
see
today
is
left
up
to
other
processes. These
processes
are
even
less
well
detailed
than
the
grossly
speculative
big
bang
theory. For
all
practical
purposes,
even
the
big
bang
theory
is
miraculous
in
nature.
Let alone the
subsequent ordering
of the material
universe.
Naturalism
in
Science
Now
the intelligent
layperson readily
recognizes that the
larger picture of
naturalism in
science is all about
this concept of
evolution. Things,
whether
they
are
living
or
non-living,
are
thought
to
become
more
organized,
complex
and
diversified
over
time. Particles
to
people
as
it
is
often
called,
is
the
foundation
of
all
secular
science. But
from
a
strict
definitional
standpoint,
big
bang,
stellar
hypothesis, abiogenesis,
and
evolution
are
all
distinct
from
one
another. They
are
each
attempting
to
explain,
from
a
standpoint
of
naturalism,
the
