How Did Life Begin On Earth? | Science Greatest Mysteries | BBC Earth Science

Dr Jiangfeng Xu has been working with sodium cyanide (NaCN), a highly toxic material, to research the origin of life. Can scientists use this to discover the answers on Earth or Mars?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights on this matter...

Isn't weired we still unable to define life?

From macro level of heaves to micro level of our earth, we see rules governing, we see laws ruling, we see perfect order.
Can random, dumb, disordered events can give rise to perfect sequence, order, and above of all a highest level of

Can anything come into existance from nothing??

"All life comes from a single moment of creation. Some 3.8 billion years ago in some bubbling mud pot or deep ocean thermal vent. Some little bag of chemicals twitched and became animate and than miraculously reproduced itself. Everything that lives now on earth, or ever has lived, descends from that moment. We are all built from a single original blueprint. I don't believe there is a more important or remarkable fact in the natural world, indeed in any world, then that one." ~Bill Bryson

The Urey - Miller experiments of the early '50's were a good starting point for determining if early Earth's conditions could produce complex organic chemicals. Now that we have a better understanding of the pre-life conditions on Earth, I hope scientists can refine the experiments further. This is truly one of the great mysteries.

Trying to answer this question will need someone who was there when it started. You can not find a house in the forest and conclude it had no builder Hebrew 3:4.

It unfortunately, may be more difficult to find the necessary evidence on Mars, but we have to look, we have to know. Keep searching.

There is one crater that still exists - in South Africa.

Please explain how it happened to Dr James Tour.
😂

All 3 happened simultaneously unfortunately there is no moral compass the world is what it is

[ricknico]

Who does the scientist represent in all of this? Blind chance or an intelligent designer?

[geniusxbyofejiroagbaduta]

I don't still under how you guys rule out the options that someone smarter than you created you. Imagine we make ai so intelligent to be self aware and it start researching how it was created and ruling out the option someone smarter than it created it. Someone operating in a different system entirely.
That's what some of you here are doing. I believe God created us. To be precise which God, The God of the Bible. JESUS thank you for everything you did for us.

I will suggest a better way . First of all we need to create wormholes . Those wormholes can take us to another part of the universe or in some other galaxy that is 4.5 billion light years away from earth. Now create a massive telescope there, and watch earth from that distance . Light rays reaching that galaxy will be 4.5 billion years old and hence you will be able to see early conditions of earth .

I am a biomedical scientist, my advice is that this question cant answered by science even if u go back to mars

This remembers Stanley Miller experiment

Very interesting. It's crazy to realize how much progress we've made between the magical beings in the sky our ancestors believed in and our current understanding.

For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.

Sunlight is responsible for the creation of life everywhere in the universe.

[randallebersole]

Something we don’t yet understand, must be explained as supernatural. Tale as old as time.

The ancients had a god for everything. Now we only need one to explain the origins of life. Someday too that will likely become moot.

Then, finally a god won’t be necessary anymore and mankind can move into an era of knowledge and hopefully peace.
