blacksword,
Life itself began as a chemical process. Perhaps you recall the somewhat famous experiment where a biologist and a physicist combined basic elements into a beaker, along with the gasses of a primordial Earth, and applied heat and electrical strikes to it for several weeks. The result was a soupy mixture of amino acids, which are the building blocks of biochemistry. These amino acids coninued to interact, until random chance finally caused a molecule which was able to make copies of itself. From there (after several million years), and the right contitions, these molecules began to copy...and became viral-like lifeforms...(complex protiens) millions of years after that, they made a minor mutation: an outer cell wall. Those were the real start of life on Earth... the most primative examples of single cell organisims.
From there, life kept becoming more complex, and specialized as it adapted to ever changing enviromental conditions.
So, from basic elements, common to all parts of the universe, to organic chemistry, to the final result of life forming. All it takes is the right materials, the right contitions, and a mind bogglingly long span of time.
Interesting. My thing is that with all the testing and documenting results watched thru the scientific processes i am suposed to trust that this is how it happened? Who saw it and documented while it did? And because nobody was around while it did who replicated the process and then observed it? If the answer is nobody then i just cant accept it on faith that it happened this way.
