Is life spontaneously springing up any less miraculous than if it had been created by a creator?

[OtterMan68]

Yes, it's not a miracle. We just can't explain it yet

No, it's no less probable for life to just spontaneously come to life

The birth of life is not a miracle. It is scientifically explainable, with only areas of the unknown remaining.

Then easily explain it. Can scientists duplicate it in a lab?

[TopsyTurvy]

It began on early Earth with the right environmental conditions and chemical reactions that led to the formation of organic compounds. These compounds started as simple biomolecules and gradually evolved into more complex structures. Some of these molecules gained the ability to replicate themselves, leading to reproduction and growth. Over time, these complex structures developed into cells, laying the foundation for living organisms. Genes emerged, and through the process of evolution, a diversity of species arose.

In laboratory settings, researchers have succeeded in synthesizing or producing some basic biomolecules, such as amino acids and nucleotides, by mimicking the conditions of early Earth.(Miller-Urey Experiment) Efforts have also been made to create simple molecules capable of self-replication.(Gerald Joyce)

However, the birth of life is an immensely complex process, and fully replicating it in a lab setting is still far from reality.

In conclusion, while experimentally reproducing the origin of life remains elusive, it is theoretically explicable through various models and hypotheses.

Theoretically

Lift doesn't do that.
