"Abiogenesis aka "Chemical Evolution"- Beginning of Life Without a Creator?"
by Jim Long
A biology lesson: Most living organisms have DNA, but some of the simplest forms of life found on Earth only have RNA. I am sorry that this may be full of terms you may not understand, but it was the best description I could find. If you want to skip the description of RNA and go to the rest of the article Click Here. The RNA Molecule:RNA is a biologically important type of molecule that consists of a long chain of nucleotide units. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate. RNA is very similar to DNA, but differs in a few important structural details: in the cell, RNA is usually single-stranded, while DNA is usually double-stranded; RNA nucleotides contain ribose while DNA contains deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom); and RNA has the base uracil rather than thymine that is present in DNA.
A nucleotide is composed of a nucleobase (nitrogenous base), a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or 2'-deoxyribose), and one to three phosphate groups. Together, the nucleobase and sugar comprise a nucleoside. The phosphate groups form bonds with either the 2, 3, or 5-carbon of the sugar, with the 5-carbon site most common. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups.[1] Ribonucleotides are nucleotides where the sugar is ribose, and deoxyribonucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. Nucleotides can contain either a purine or pyrimidine base.
Nucleic acid are polymeric macromolecules made from nucleotide monomers. In DNA, the purine bases are adenine and guanine, while the pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine. RNA uses uracil in place of thymine.For the rest of the explanation of the complexity of RNA or DNA and explanation of terms, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA.
A cell contains cytoplasm and the nucleus, which contains the genetic materials that are made from RNA or DNA molecules that is enclosed by a membrane separating it from the cytoplasm. The cell contents are enclosed by the cell membrane. I am not going to go into the complexity of a cell membrane, cytoplasm, or the nucleus, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_membrane, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytoplasm, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_nucleus. As you can see, even the simplest forms of life are very complex.
Abiogenesis aka "Chemical Evolution":
In abiogenesis aka "chemical evolution" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis, scientists would like you to believe, with improbable theories (sometimes in environments that never existed on Earth), that a complete cell would be formed by random chance and began to live. It is highly unlikely that the necessary chemical compound(s) that make up each part of the cell would form into the cell structure required for life to begin though random chance. There is no in between state; either it is a complete cell, or it can’t come to life.
Believing that a complete cell would be formed and began to live without a Creator is stretching the imagination. However, let us look at some of the ways people think that life began.
To those who say that life developed on land:
Through some astronomical chance (By astronomical chance, I mean almost impossible chance), a complete cell is formed. It must then begin to live. How? Electricity (like lightning), radiation, heat are more likely to destroy the cell than to bring it to life. If any period of time passes, wind and rain are going to break up the cell.
Some people use the analogy of a junk yard full of airplane parts that it impossible to make a functional airplane through natural forces. I go further than that, suppose you had unlimited amounts of airplane parts, an unlimited amount of time, and an unknown force. Many of the things that would be formed would not be a functional airplane, but it is possible that a functional airplane would be formed; however improbable it is, given the complexity of even the simplest airplane. How does it fly without a pilot? Even if it is a drone, something or someone has to start the engine. To those who think life developed in the ocean such as a thermal vent:It is even more of an astronomical chance; it is almost a miracle that a complete cell would form under these conditions. How? You are talking about a complete cell forming in conditions that are perhaps the most harmful to the formation and there would be a limited availability of necessary chemical compound to complicate any random chance formation. Not to mention, how it would come to life.
To those who think life came from a meteorite or asteroid:
If there is a planet that would favor the development of a cell; the cell or life form would have to not be destroyed from whatever cataclysmic event that dislodged it from the planet it came from; travel aimlessly millions, if not billions, of light years (It would not be traveling at the speed of light, so that would be a very long trip), in space’s environment devoid of oxygen, light, water, and heat; arrive at Earth in the vastness of the universe; not be destroyed during entry into Earth’s atmosphere; not be destroyed on impact; and if it was a life form in some type of hibernating state during its space travel, it would have to come back to life. Even if there was a planet that would favor the development of a cell, it still would have to come to life, either here or there. How likely does all of that sound? Do you think abiogenesis aka "chemical evolution" can adequately explain the beginning of life? I don’t have enough faith in random chance to believe that a complete cell, given the complexity of the cell structure, was formed and began to live without a Creator. I call the Creator - God the Father. Are you willing to bet your eternal life on random chance? If not, you can read about God the Father's Only Begotten Son, my Savior, Jesus Christ on this website.If you don't believe in abiogenesis and are not Saved yet; click for How do I Obtain Salvation?

About Us
We at jimrlong.com are simple Christians and we would like to think of ourselves as a Virtual Christian Coffee House and are trying to make God and His Son Jesus Christ known to the internet world.
jimrlong.com was established on 21 June 1999.
From 1999-2004, jimrlong.com was primarily a Microsoft Operating System and Office Suite resource center.
On 31 May 2004, the new jimrlong.com was launched.
We have Freedom-of-Religion.org devoted to the idea of Freedom of Religion spreading the word of God and His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ.
We sell Christian and Gospel Music ● Christian books ● Christian Bible Study Software ● Crosses and Crucifixes ● Bibles. At our Christian Store.
We are also Patriotic Americans and we have downloadable files of The Constitution of the United States and Amendment to the Constitution. We also have a tribute to 9-11-2001 and have a downloadable copy of the 911 Report. We Are Americans and we fly proudly the flag of the United States of America (USA). We have pictures of the American Bald Eagle with the US Flag (American Flag), The Map Flag and the Eye Flag nice American graphics. Share our American pride. All at patriotic.jimrlong.com.
We have a self help page recovery.jimrlong.com that has the steps ● traditions ● concepts of many 12-Step Programs that can be printed or downloaded and other information including a downloadable copy of the 1938 Original Manuscript of Alcoholics Anonymous (aka AA).
Thank you for visiting Freedom-of-Religion.org and The Peace of the Lord be with you, Jim :-)
