Well, the answer to the question of how life began is obviously complex. Therefore, the only recourse we have is to assume that some intellignece created it by design. Obviously, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the only viable theory.

The heat generated by an impact produces local hydrothermal springs. These start off hot, thus favouring the formation of amino acids and RNA-forming bases. They then cool over the centuries to the point where these individual molecules can get together in more complex chains. And they also have lots of microscopic nooks and crannies with space for micro-organisms to breed, and interesting chemicals in them for bugs to feed on.

Now, let's see...what is more likely...the above scenario or that life began by intelligent design? Or, put another way, a log cabin in the woods is more likely a result of chance and time? Or intelligent design?

Genesis 1:23-30:

1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

The second is, how did those raw materials spontaneously assemble themselves into the first object to which the term “alive” might reasonably be applied?

How do they know these raw materials assembled themselves? Its another assumption based on faith.

My question is and has been where did Darwin's "warm little pond" come from? I.e., where did this little sphere we call "earth", little warm ponds and all, come from? The "Big Bang"? Who, or what pulled the trigger? That to me is the fundemental question. The only answer has to be an "intelligent" creator. Cold, empty space does not just go "BANG!" on it's own. Call it faith if you like, but I like to think that it is, as Mr. Spock was wont to say, "logical".

See David Berlinski's article in the current issue of Commentary for a deeper explanation of the problems with the current theories of the origins of life.

Crick mentioned that there has not been time for evolution to produce the variety of lifeforms on earth in the 4.5 billion years since earth formed.
