From your own site that you linked:



This claim is an example of the argument from incredulity. Nobody
denies that the origin of life is an extremely difficult problem. That
it has not been solved, though, does not mean it is impossible. In
fact, there has been much work in this area, leading to several
possible origins for life on earth:

Panspermia, which says life came from someplace other than earth. This
theory, however, still does not answer how the first life arose.
Proteinoid microspheres (Fox 1960, 1984; Fox and Dose 1977; Fox et al.
1995; Pappelis and Fox 1995): This theory gives a plausible account of
how some replicating structures, which might well be called alive,
could have arisen. Its main difficulty is explaining how modern cells
arose from the microspheres.
Clay crystals (Cairn-Smith 1985): This says that the first replicators
were crystals in clay. Though they do not have a metabolism or respond
to the environment, these crystals carry information and reproduce.
Again, there is no known mechanism for moving from clay to DNA.
Emerging hypercycles: This proposes a gradual origin of the first
life, roughly in the following stages:

(1) a primordial soup of simple organic compounds. This seems to be
almost inevitable; (2) nucleoproteins, somewhat like modern tRNA (de
Duve 1995a) or peptide nucleic acid (Nelson et al. 2000), and
semicatalytic; (3) hypercycles, or pockets of primitive biochemical
pathways that include some approximate self-replication; (4) cellular
hypercycles, in which more complex hypercycles are enclosed in a
primitive membrane; (5) first simple cell. Complexity theory suggests
that the self-organization is not improbable. This view of abiogenesis
is the current front-runner.
The iron-sulfur world (Russell and Hall 1997; Wächtershäuser 2000): It
has been found that all the steps for the conversion of carbon
monoxide into peptides can occur at high temperature and pressure,
catalyzed by iron and nickel sulfides. Such conditions exist around
submarine hydrothermal vents. Iron sulfide precipitates could have
served as precursors of cell walls as well as catalysts (Martin and
Russell 2003). A peptide cycle, from peptides to amino acids and back,
is a prerequisite to metabolism, and such a cycle could have arisen in
the iron-sulfur world (Huber et al. 2003).
Polymerization on sheltered organophilic surfaces (Smith et al. 1999):
The first self-replicating molecules may have formed within tiny
indentations of silica-rich surfaces so that the surrounding rock was
its first cell wall.
Something that no one has thought of yet.


--The English That I know calls this "chance". Lets define Chance:

Chance is a layman word for probability.

Probability is a way of expressing knowledge or belief that an event
will occur or has occurred. In mathematics the concept has been given
an exact meaning in probability theory, that is used extensively in
such areas of study as mathematics, statistics, finance, gambling,
science, and philosophy to draw conclusions about the likelihood of
potential events and the underlying mechanics of complex systems.

Since you are so good in English, you should know what the above
means. When Creationist and evolutionist go around in their endless
debate. they use the term chance as an opposite to direct involvement
of intelligence or design. Every Biologist who confirms Evolution and
look at origins, will mention chance. Of course they use technical
words and phrases such as "Right Conditions" etc.

Therefore Abiogenesis for biologists, refers to the right conditions
for life to have started on it own naturally. Do want me to make this
a bit more simpler --highschool science prehaps?

The right answer would be in Physics, "we don't know, but it is fun to
guess"

We don't know that since none of us were here that early in the earth's
lifetime to see what happened. We don't know exactly what conditions
existed when life first began. A scientific answer makes more sense than a
supernatural story about a magical invisible being suddenly poofing complex
life into existence from mud or earth.... and then all the drama afterward
with demons and angels.........

Yet you believe a magical invisible supernatural "god" poofed everything
into being despite the evidence against such a happening? That's logical to
you?

How is it no one can penetrate your closed mind and educate you after all
these years?
