How Was Life Created?

Postby Vitius » Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:56 pm

My apologies if this seems like a religion-oriented thread.

I hold the belief that all species shared one common ancestor, but I'm confused on how that common ancestor came to be.

Are there any theories besides creationism that supports how life (nothing to do with evolution) was created?

Please assist if possible :)

Je Suis Geller
Economic Right: 10.00
Social Libertarian: -6.77

People who denounce the free market and voluntary exchange, and are for control and coercion, believe they have more intelligence and superior wisdom to the masses. What's more, they believe they've been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. Of course, they have what they consider good reasons for doing so, but every tyrant that has ever existed has had what he believed were good reasons for restricting the liberty of others.

If it helps I have nothing worth stealing and no enemies wealthy enough to take out a contract. And I could probably forgo cake if the entertainers were cool enough.

Technically, Panspermia doesn't answer how life began, just how it might have gotten to any given planet. The space cruising organisms would still have had to come from abiogenesis.

The basic building block compounds of life form spontaneously and easily given the right ingredients. Given those basic ingredients, fairly stochastic, aqueous environment to allow for electrolytic chemistry, and an incredible amount of time, a small number of very primitive self-replicators could eventually form. These self-replicators could then improve through evolution.
This is why gay marriage will destroy American families.
Gays are made up of gaytrinos and they interact via faggons, which are massless spin 2 particles. They're massless because gays care so much about their weight, and have spin 2, cause that's as much spin as particles can get, and liberals love spin. The exchange of spin 2 particles creates an attractive force between objects, which is why gays are so promiscuous. When gays get "settle down" into a lower energy state by marrying, they release faggon particles in the form of gaydiation. Everyone is a little bit gay, so every human body has some gaytrinos in it, meaning that the gaydiation could cause straight people to be attracted to gays and choose to turn gay.

once upon a time, an innocent virus was walking along, and this mysterios voice appeared out of the void telling it to get a life. so it did. although the common belief among bacteria is that it just felt like doing so.

There's been some recent evidence that certain organic compounds are extraterrestrial in origin, so possibly a meteorite started life on earth.

which wouldn't really answer the question at all. at least not the way its phrased. which isn't how did life happen on earth, but how was LIFE created.

if it came from somewhere else, fine, but how did it happen THERE? wherever it was that it came from.
