Mhmmm. Until life gets created out of nothing (impossible) in a science lab, you can chalk all of this up to impotent speculation. Real science is based upon observation, can be duplicated, and is refutable. Anything and EVERYTHING related to a time before we can observe, and have no record of, is pure fabrication, a big, fat, whopping lie, scientifically. This mumbo jumbo, and all other theories of evolution are mere scripture from the liberal church of the godless.
Nothing comes from nothing.
I once assumed that nothing had preceded life’s reproduction. That is, that it had occured de novo, spontaneously with the onset of life. Now however, I suspect that the essential patterns were already laid out, i.e., “tried” if you will, by the replication, and even evolution, of several types of prebiotic molecules.(Ref. Hazen, #4 above)
Quite a few of these molecules figure prominantly in later biological sequencing of RNA and DNA, as the most prominant.
Given the sophistication of organic chemistry at this level, I’d even venture as to wonder whether God was working it out in His own “mind”.
It’s very compelling to wonder...at least for me. And I think God would understand and appreciate humanity trying to reason it out too.
We already know there are bacteria buried in rocks deep within the earth. Their metabolism is so slow they could live tens of millions of years without running out of their available nutrition (from the rocks).
Evolution is a totally different story. It probably doesn't work like anyone has yet imagined. Odds are good we'll figure out how to tap into it soon and adjust genomes to eliminate genetic disease AND all unapproved changes.
