Re: My answer once again

Dorfman quotes Percy:

If you quote, do so accurately and with context. Percy could not have said that. I checked, and indeed he didn't.

I believe abiogenesis is possible. But you lack first ingredient, so it is more than proper not to buy into it and to argue against it.

What ingredients do you need for abiogenesis?

Damn!

First ingredient

Could you be more specific? What's the first ingredient?

Elements need a first ingredient, and you don't have it.

We are talking about abiogenesis, not about the beginning of the universe. Before life started - in whatever manner - matter had been around for aeons.

What first ingredient, from everything that was around at the time, did life need?

Re: OFF TOPIC DISCUSSION OF ORIGINS

There's no need to become hysterical when a topic drifts a bit. I'll refrain from any further posting in this thread, so you can use the remaining twenty-or-so posts for your is-not/is-too game. Have fun.
