Primordial Soup

[Viker]

LOL! I actually did also, and mine was chicken soup with pin rice and wild rice. Betcha my soup was better than your soup!

Nope. My soup had all the crazy rice and was made with love. My soup could beat up your soup!

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Sounds like a couple of souped up hypotheses. Ba dum bump!

I just find it odd that it only took a billion years for dna to form after the earth first formed.

How are you coming to your conclusion about the time it took DNA to form? What is the basis of your claim?

Oh, you heretic!!! And I betcha you believe that your daddy was bigger than my daddy!!!

Why?

 

[Jimmy]

Why?

Complexity of DNA

Complexity of DNA

You're assuming that it was always complex. Some geneticists think it's possible that r.n.a., which is simpler in form, may have been first.

Sure but it still only took a billion years

"Only"? Aren't you aware that is slightly older than I am?

"Only"? Aren't you aware that is slightly older than I am?

Then after dna first came on the scene it took 5 billion years for humans to develop. One would think the evolution of DNA is more complex and time consuming than the evolution of the rest. ie. Plants, animals, and humans

Maybe the scientists who hypothesis that the earth was seeded by DNA from another planet are correct. Cuz I think it would take a lot longer than a billion years for DNA to come to be after the formation of a planet. I find this ‘seeding’ theory doubtful though.

Where are you coming up with that number of years?

What makes you say that? What evidence or experience are you basing that on?

Many years ago, I was part of a project to analyze and characterize a batch of different chemicals to determine what they were. We had to scrap the project and start all over, because the chemicals all polymerized naturally making analysis nearly impossible.

Back in the 1950's, it was discovered in a chemical waste dump in Colorado, that all the chemicals and conditions in it had lead to the spontaneous formation of herbicidal compounds that had never been dumped there.

Chemistry occurs when the conditions and substrates are available.

Life of course uses existing chemicals and of them them is silicon. It is a very large part of soil since soil is partially made up of sediments which are often almost all silicates. But the problem for believers in dirt magic, like you, is that the percentages are incredibly far off. Where silicon is gong to be one of the most common elements in dirt, very possibly second after oxygen, it is observed as only a trace element in the human body. So man is clearly not made of dirt, or mud, or soil as in your myths.

As it had been said, when a person does, his body may disintegrate. Have a good one. Do you think the body doesn't dissolve or disintegrate when it does? Yes, the body goes back to ...how about the whatever for abiogenesis?

 

[Soandso]

I don't know enough to make that claim, but there's more theories about hpw life started than the primordial soup one. With panspermia, life is introduced from outside the earth, for instance

DNA probably cuz for it to come into being in 1 billion yrs on earth is unlikely. I have big doubts about panspermia though.

 

[Astrophile]

It actually seems the most likely. What are the alternatives...

Aliens seeded the planet? Given interstellar distances an extremely unlikely scenario

Not only is it an extremely unlikely scenario in view of interstellar distances but it raises the question where the aliens came from.

What does that have to do with abiogenesis?
