Andrew, I gave you a link. Go there. Put on your thinking cap. Read the article. You canot do so and still believe that the work of Pasteur has anything to do with the origin of life on earth.
except for the self proclaimed...********'s!
Did America exist before Christopher Columbus?
It has as much to do with the origin of life as the Miller-Urey experiment.
There has been a recent wave of skepticism concerning Miller's experiment because it is now believed that the early earth's atmosphere did not contain predominantly reductant molecules. Another objection is that this experiment required a tremendous amount of energy. While it is believed lightning storms were extremely common on the primitive Earth, they were not continuous as the Miller/Urey experiment portrayed. Thus it has been argued that while amino acids and other organic compounds may have been formed, they would not have been formed in the amounts which this experiment produced.
Still, assuming the reducing atmosphere was present, there should have been left evidence of the presence of that soup. The ocean is deep. You put on your thinking cap and ponder the fate of all the chemicals present before something arose to "eat" them.
