Hello, I am a new member to the forums. I had recently discussed with a high school Creationist friend of mine, and he brought up abiogenesis. I've read articles about amino acids being formed in a controlled environment, and certain "proto-alive" organisms that have manifested, and this conjures a few questions.
Is abiogenesis always in direct relation with the Big Bang theory, where the Big Bang lays it out, and abiogenesis works from there? (or can abiogenesis it be attributed to theistic evolution, or deism?) In addition, how exactly does a single celled organism develop from nothing? I don't understand how, even if supplied with a life-sustaining environment, life can come to be.
Also, if one supports an atheistic view of evolution (Primordial soup, single-celled organisms, slight successive variation, without a God, etc etc), is it given that they also support the Big Bang?
One more. I'm trying to give a thorough look at both sides of the evolution-creation controversy (I am a pending agnostic), and I've read a lot about the slow degradation of the Big Bang theory. For example,
Big bang - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science and
Open Letter on Cosmology, as well as the creationist references given in the CreationWiki article. Because most everyone on this site surpasses me in the knowledge of evolution/creation, I'd like some opinions on the contemporary validity of the Big bang theory.
Thanks.
