Astrobiology and Panspermia: Re-examining the evidence
By Christopher Montgomery
It has become clear that any form of life cannot be created and
sustained under laboratory conditions. Many scientists have
theorized that life began with an electrical spark and a primordial
soup. The primordial soup, is thought by some to be the building
blocks of life, and henceforth nature. The evidence would strongly
rule this out.
I will speculate that there is strong evidence that there had to be
some form of higher intelligence and/or a divine hand in all of
this. If this were not true, life would not exist on this planet, as
we know it today.
FACT: All past experiments that have tried to produce life by
duplicating those conditions have resulted in very primitive amino
acid chains but have failed to produce the desired results...viable
life forms that can exist outside of the laboratory. Life cannot be
produced in this manner and if I am correct, then all future
experiments will inevitably fail. It doesn't take a PhD to figure
that out.
Out of all of the experiments that have been done with
the "primordial soup," not a single experiment has produced one
viable amino acid chain that would remotely suggest that life had
began as a direct result of this random act of nature. Let us leave
creation to the creationists, and science to the scientist.
Astrobiology and Panspermia, the growing evidence" by Ross Lee Graham, PhD
There seems to be a high probability that our
biosphere has been influenced by primitives of
life-forms from non-Earth sources.
It was Urey at the University of Chicago that first
suggested that life formed on Earth in a reducing
atmosphere through exposure to ultraviolet and/or
lightning.
Miller (a student of Urey at the U of Chicago) was the
first to create amino acids through exposing the
primordial atmosphere (reducing rather than oxydizing,
ie Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, water vapor) to an
electric spark. The experiment was the basis for his
PhD. He obtained amino acids.
I re-designed the experiment and simplified the
apparatus to obtain what I regarded as a closer
representation of atmospheric conditions (I was 17 at
the time and got a first prize in chemistry research
given by the university chemistry fraternity). Indeed,
all it took was an electric spark. I sparked the
proposed primordial atmosphere for several weeks and I
obtained several distinct kinds of amino acids
important to the construction of protein.
Biologically important chemicals have been found in
meteorites.
This does not eliminate Urey's theory and it likely
can be reasoned that we have a combined 'effort' so to
speak. There is a high probability that our biosphere
is not a closed system.
Even so, this does not eliminate the possibility that
life could be created in a closed system. However,
there is liklihood that panspermia helps accelerate
the evolution of the creation process.
For now we have to leave the question of life creation
as an open question. This means that for now we cannot
eliminate the possibility that life forms have always
existed in the Universe.
Happy hunting.
Best Regards, Ross
