    and understand living things and physical phenomena through experimentation. The last concept mentions that neither living organisms nor the physical universe is static (p. 22-23). The genesis of life has two approaches, abiogenesis (naturalistic) and interventionist. The abiogenesis approach takes on the stance that each life process needs a particular molecule which is created from several machines in order to create a living cell. Brand gave an example of the ATP synthase structure and the biomolecular

    A natural start to life: Aristotle, a famous philosopher, believed in the notion of spontaneous generation, the idea that life could arise from inanimate objects. Louis Pasteur famously dispelled this theory, when he showed that organisms will only arise if the parental species is initially present in a closed system. However, this conclusion relates to the generation of new organisms from parental ones, not the origin of life itself. The first “organism” had no “parental” species, therefore the

    Although both abiotic synthesis and the deep-sea vent hypotheses argue the environment of a primordial-Earth was required for the origin of life, the two hypotheses have their differences. In general, the abiotic synthesis hypothesis describes the process of how organic compounds can be created from inorganic compounds, while the deep-sea vent hypothesis argues a possible scenario where life may have originated from inorganic compounds. While the term “primordial soup” has been used to describe abiotic

    There are many ways that Researchers across the world have come up with for the reason for life today. These following examples are some of the most popular today. Primordial soup hypothesis: Life began about three and a half billion years ago when amino acids lead to the beginning of life in a body of water. Alexander Oparin in 1924. The chemicals were like “soup” and mixed together to make proteins. There was an experiment that showed that organic molecules could be formed from non-organic atoms

    Victor Frankenstein travels to Ingolstadt to study. Once there, he was stuck to the sciences and especially for chemistry. He reads all the books he could come over and going at all lectures in the subject. In the end, one thing that interests him most and is the body's structure and origin of life's principles are based. He studies the anatomy and he gets very interested in death to thus get answers about the origins of life. After some time, he finds that he is inclined to give life to inanimate

    Primordial Soup hypothesis- The Primordial Soup theory suggests that life began in a pond or ocean because of chemicals from the atmosphere and a form of energy to create amino acids, building blocks of protein, which eventually evolves into species. Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted an experiment in 1952. The experiment consisted of electricity, from mixed chemicals of Methane, Ammonia, Water, Hydrogen, sparked to signify lightning, and produced amino acids and building blocks of protein

    The thesis of this paper is that possibly finding life on Europa, likely in the future, will illuminate the origins of life on Earth but will likely cause conflict for some subcultures as well. Section 1: Possibility of Life on Europa There is possibility of finding life on Europa. Europa is one of four moons orbiting Jupiter. The premises of the possibility of life on Europa is that there are hydrothermal vents with life on Earth as well as on Europa. By observation, it is known that Europa has

    Michael Behe describes intelligent design as a logical explanation for the things we see in nature, especially with regard to living things, being created by a powerful, hyper-intelligent Creator. He stands to reason that biological components of even the ‘simplest’ cells possess features that are entirely too “irreducibly complex” to have come about by slow, gradual naturalistic processes, and would require the intervention and handiwork of Someone who could build such structures. Even unimaginably
