Abiogenesis

Really? I would like to see the support of this. I was under the impression that any amino acids formed naturally would be oxidized by oxygen in the atmosphere.The probability of abiogenesis happening is NOT 100% because there are other ways we could have come to existance.Probability only works when applied to events that are uncertain, so my existance does not count.[This message has been edited by Muhd, 04-05-2004]

Okay...
I would like to know your sources of this information.Also,
If there was no or little oxygen in the early Earth atmosphere, then what would protect the amino acids and the potential proteins from UV light (oxygen produces ozone)?[This message has been edited by Muhd, 04-07-2004]

Well, I would say that their was a big slab of rock or something that blocked the UV light from the "chemical soup", but this is also a problem since it is generally thought that lightning was involved in the formation of amino acids.It is really the evolutionists job to do the speculation, since I don't think that life arose in this manner.
