"Does anyone know where to look and what to look for? Also, newly-emerging proto life would most likely be eaten by bacteria.
Ahh, no, I'm not lettin' ya skate on that. I'm holding your rhetorical feet to the fire :P
We'd surely see EVIDENCE of this going on...and we don't. We have microsopes, dontchaknow. Didn'tchaknow? "
You are totally full of it. Organic molecules are so efficiently scavenged by soil and water microflora, that newly happening abiogenesis would never have a chance. Dontchknow. Get with the program.
VA is spot on.
Sniff...It just doesn't seem fair.
You mean...you guys get to believe in a theory--abiogenic evolution--that cannot be proven, even by your own standards?

Microscopes? Try chemical analysis. But I'm curious about the facts here. Are there actually any stsudies of undersea volcanic vent surface chemistry that disprove that particular abiogenesis hypothesis? Or are you just making this up?

Thanks, Fur Ball. Abiogenesis depends on sterile conditions.
I'd really like to see a large-scale Miller-Urey type of experiment with lots of different kinds of igneous rock present, and running over decades at least.
