Isn’t this a bit like reconstructing the Indo-European language from modern languages without referring to anything written before 1066?

Not saying it can’t be done, but I’m not confident of the full fidelity of the results.

“But it’s difficult to recreate events that happened so far in the distant past”.

You don’t say............really? It’s only four billion years, give or take a few million either way.

We will have all the answers when we die, much to the chagrin of the Darwinists...

“Some scientists believe that lightning struck the primordial soup in ammonia-rich oceans, producing the complex molecules that formed the precursors to life. Others believe that chemical reactions at deep-sea hydrothermal vents gave rise to cell membranes and simple cellular pumps”

Yeah, right. The massively sophisticated molecular machinery of single-cell organisms simply arose spontaneously as a functional unit after bombarding mud puddles with lightening for a few hundred million years.

Just like a Panasonic CF-53 laptop computer with Windows 7 would arise spontaneously if we filled a beaker full of the elemental powders from which it is formed, put some sea water in, and then bombarded the laptop soup in the beaker with lightening for a few hundred million years. Or maybe, we initially only get a chip to form in the beaker and the chip eventually EVOLVED all by itself into the laptop (with operating system) after being bombarded by cosmic rays for a long time.

Is recreating stuff from the past a good idea? All kinds of sci-fi scenerios come to mind.
