Maybe you're right.
Hopefully that's better
I doubt it.This should be a good discussion.
I'm betting that he doesn't show, but I could be wrong
Not to jump into the middle of your debate here but since this is about abiogenesis I thought I would ask. I remember learning about an experiment that was conducted to test the effects of impact events on the formation of complex molecules (impacts from asteroids comets etc). From what I remember, this experiment showed that taking simple amino acids (which have been shown to form from other natural processes, primordial soup + electrical storms) and subjecting them to a high-energy impact that more complex proteins were formed. So as the theory goes the massive energy released by an impact from space would have been a vital step in the abiogenesis of complex chemicals needed for the first living cells to emerge.
Now this is a great experiment but for the life of me I cannot remember who conducted it or where (I think it may have been a university in California). I have scoured the internet and my notes from the class I learned of it it in and have been unable to find anything about this experiment. If anyone knows anything more about this experiment please help me out here. If true, this is an important experiment in explaining the natural origin of life on earth.
No that isn't the experiment I'm referring to. These types of experiments tend to only produce very simple chemical compounds. The one I am talking about would have taken the chemicals resulting from these experiments and subject them to a high-energy impact event to produce even more complex chemicals, getting us one step closer to life.MillerâUrey experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is this the experiment you were looking for? Even if not, it's an interesting read.

Whenever scientists interfere with natural processes they are conducting intelligent design.

This process would not have worked without the aid of Miller/Urey. Therefore it is intelligent design and not natural processes.
They were simulating a circumstance that did occur naturally.This process would not have worked without the aid of Miller/Urey. Therefore it is intelligent design and not natural processes.

The organic molecules he produced were not the organic molecules necessary for life, and they weren't produced in an environment that simulated the primitive Earth's atmosphere,.
