Abiogenesis doesn't start with nothing.
if you dont do a little research, none of the models to the hypothesis Abiogenesis ever claim to come from nothing.
Abiogenesis required understanding of not just organic chemistry, but also that of inorganic chemistry too. So they need to know HOW some inorganic molecules & compounds can synthesise into organic or biological molecules & compounds, via chemical reactions.
Every organisms, whether it be unicellular organisms like prokaryotic domain of Bacteria or domain of Archaea, or eukaryotic Protista, micro-algae, unicellular Fungi (eg yeasts), …or multicellular eukaryotes like kingdom Fungi, kingdom Plantae & kingdom Animalia.
All of these organisms have cells. Cells are the building blocks of all life, of both unicellular organisms & multicellular organisms.
Multicellular organisms have all types of tissues, and every tissues are made of cells.
There are many types of cells, but they can generally divided into main groups, those with a cell that has a nucleus & one or more membrane-bound organelles, this type of cells are called
eukaryotic cell, and those without a nucleus & organelles, and this type of cells are called
prokaryotic cell.
But what are cells? What are inside every cells?
Every single cells are made of numbers different biological compounds & molecules, but what are common compounds & molecules that exist in every cells. They have narrowed it down to 4 biological macromolecules (“large molecules”):
- PROTEINS, which are made of chains of amino acids. There are many different types of proteins, and each types would have specific functions and characteristics. For multicellular organisms, proteins in cells generally provide structures to different types of tissues.
- NUCLEIC ACIDS, which contains genetic information of every organisms in RNA & DNA, which the traits are inherited from parent organisms to offspring organisms. Like proteins they existed in chain of biopolymeric nucleotides. Each nucleotides contain the following molecules - sugar (eg ribose sugar for RNA, deoxyribose sugars for DNA), 4 nucleobase molecules & one group of phosphate.
- CARBOHYDRATES, another biopolymeric compounds, common referred to as sugar, but there are many different types of carbohydrates, which each would num of different functions. I have already mentioned two of these carbohydrates in the “nucleic acids“, ribose & deoxyribose, which formed the polymers of each nucleotide, ribose in single helix RNA nucleotide & 2 deoxyribose in double helixes DNA nucleotide.
- LIPIDS, are made of fatty acids, but they are not polymeric, and like proteins & carbohydrates, different types of lipids will have different functions, but the most common one in every cells, they acted as membranes that protect the cells.
Note that RNA & DNA have 3 common nucleobase molecules for each nucleotide: adenine, cytosine & guanine, plus thymine for DNA, and uracil for RNA. So each nucleotide have a total of 6 different types of molecules.
Knowing these 4 types of biological macromolecules, scientists that are researching different models of Abiogenesis, try to synthesise these macromolecules from any number of inorganic molecules or compounds, in experiments from the 1952 Miller-Urey experiment to the present. These experiments are attempting to synthesise any one or more of these biological compounds or molecules, as these macromolecules are essential for all cells.
So Abiogenesis is much about chemistry as it is about biology, and Abiogenesis is the study of the origins of each these molecules.
So biologists and biochemists that are involved in researches of Abiogenesis, required knowledge & understanding of cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics , and number of other fields.
To say Abiogenesis come from nothing, only give credence to creationists being ignorant as to what abiogenesis is really about. Life wouldn’t exist if any one of these macromolecules didn’t exist. These macromolecules cannot simply come from nothing.
lipids are made from fatty acids. Carbohydrates are made from different types of carbon-based molecules. RNA & DNA are made of 6 different types of molecules and proteins are made of at least 22 different possible amino acids out of over 500 different types of amino acids.
Creationists are so silly with their ignorance, if they seriously believe that these molecules just popped into existence from nothing.
In the Miller-Urey experiment, they used 4 different inorganic chemicals: water, methane, ammonia and hydrogen, all of which would exist in the young Earth environment. Chemical reactions with these chemicals, Stanley Miller & Harold Urey were able to detect 9 different amino acids. When Miller died in 2007, the stored vials of chemicals were brought out again, and a total of 20 different types of amino acids were detected.
These inorganic substances are not “nothing”.
Nothing don’t exist, not even in deep space.
