Evolution and the Origin of Life: Real Problems
The origin of life is one of the biggest problems for evolution, because of it's committment to naturalism. That is, that all processes in the universe are explainable using only natural laws. Virtually all other sciences can be explained by natural laws, but there are very real and ignored problems with how the first life began.
We have all heard of the "primordial soup" model of life. That at a point in early earth history, the molten earth cooled, and oceans formed. As rain fell, chemicals in a hypothetical pool organized into proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. These molecules then organized into cellular structures and more complex proteins, DNA, and cell membranes.
The following are proven chemistry facts that are not shared with the average science illiterate population.
Observable Chemistry Fact #1
Presence of water is a problem: Some amino acids break down in water by the process called hydrolysis. It actually breaks the bonds of the amino acids preventing them from forming the chains that build proteins. Stanley Miller, who attempted to create life in a test tube in the early 1950's, knew this, and isolated the products in order to avoid this destructive reaction.
Observable Chemistry Fact #2
Presence of Oxygen: Stanley Miller purposely left out oxygen in his experiment. Why? Because he knew that oxygen would be corrosive and tend to destroy the organic compounds for life.
Some scientists have suggested that the early earth's atmosphere did not contain oxygen, but then the atmosphere would have had no ozone layer to sheild the compounds from the ultraviolet rays of the sun---a catch 22 for evolutionists. ALso, is there any evidence for a non-oxygen atmosphere?
ANOTHER SIGNIFIGANT PROBLEM
Amino acids in living things
1. There are 2000 types amino acids, of which are only 20 are found in living things. We're talking mathematics working against it now.
2. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM--All amino acids come in left and right handed forms called "enantiomers." Living things have only the left handed amino acids. When Stanley Miller attempted life in a test tube, he produced only a racemic mixture of right and left handed amino acids that is detrimental to life.
So intelligent life tried to set up a random mixture of supposed ingredients and could not do it. It proved that some random amino acids could be produced.
My question is why am I labeled as a propagandist when I consider evidence logically and come up with the conclusion that the mathematical improbability of life starting randomly by solely naturalistic means is astronomically high. And in the sense of logic and common sense it is illogical to propose that an effect caused itself.
