Re: Facts?
We are talking about a firmly established law of science that tells us that matter cannot be created
Could you please then explain the processes of pair creation and pair annihilation? That is where two photons (not matter) combine to create an electron and a positron (both matter), and the reverse process where two particles of matter annihilate to give two photons (commonly referred to as matter/anti-matter annihilation)
You cannot postulate something that you have never observed, nor is testable (the 'Big Bang') against a law that has been repeatedly tested and observed countless times and conclude that 'it isn't applicable'.
Actually, I can It's quite simple to do this when one actually understands the physics behind both statistical mechanics and general relativity.

Re: Facts?
Incorrect - matter is being created and destroyed at every point of the Universe every moment of time
Even your evolutionist comrades should disgree with that. You are dead wrong.
Quote: (from PhysicalGeography.net)
"First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics is often called the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law suggests that energy can be transferred from one system to another in many forms. Also, it can not be created or destroyed. Thus, the total amount of energy available in the Universe is constant. Einstein's famous equation (written below) describes the relationship between energy and matter:
E = mc2
In the equation above, energy (E) is equal to matter (m) times the square of a constant (c). Einstein suggested that energy and matter are interchangeable. His equation also suggests that the quantity of energy and matter in the Universe is fixed."
Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. You were poorly taught.

That is a transformation and/or division, not a creation.

To cut a long story short: the first law of thermodynamics says that God could not have created everything ex nihilo. Fine.
Now back to cells?

Re: Some answers
Crystal clear, thank you. I couldn't have said it better.
That explains a possible process but not the origin of chromatin. What is its origin and how did it assemble into DNA to generate life?

Oh dear, then I think my old students are in trouble
I think both you and PhysicalGeography.net need to learn some definitions, and some advanced physics...

No, it is a creation. That is why we call it "pair creation".

Only if you're playing mind games but not if you're dealing with reality.
The 'Big Bang' was not observed. It is not testable, repeatable, nor verifiable. The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is.
You need to concede this point, friend.

Re: Some answers
Chromatin does not "assemble into DNA", chromatin is a complex of DNA, associated RNA and proteins (particularly histones).
Life does not require such a complex.

We've already seen that, in the video we showed you. The question is, can we progress from the rudimentary genetic material of the protocell to RNA/DNA?

You may be putting the cart before the horse. You assume it is vital for life to start. But maybe first life was simpler than that and didn't need it. Maybe it only evolved after life became a little more complex. Cavediver's film already hinted at such a process.

You said it!
"The first law of thermodynamics, an expression of the principle of conservation of energy, states that energy can be transformed (changed from one form to another), but cannot be created or destroyed". Wikipedia.
"The Laws of Thermodynamics
First law: Energy is conserved; it can be neither created nor destroyed." Purdue University science.
Now how many sources do I have to quote before you realize that you are in error and matter is NOT created anywhere or at any time in the universe?
Not only so but the terminology 'pair creation' is innacurate.

He doesn't, for two reasons.
(1) He's right. For your information, Cavediver is our resident physicist/cosmologist. He's a professional, he really knows what he's talking about here. (Hint: engage him about cells, you might stand a chance.)
(2) It's off-topic.

Give us an example of a living organism without it.
