Abiogenesis is an attempt to explain the origin of life. By definition, Abiogenesis attempts to prove the birth of life from non-life. Abiogenisists attempt to duplicate such a phenomina using the laws and truths of present nature. Thus, the potential err.
How can Abiogenesists be certain that the laws of current nature are those of the time when life first existed? If Abiogenesists claim the privaledge to assume the laws of now held true then, why not assume the answer of the whole phenomina? At that point, why search for evidence at all?
Also, since no one can be certain that the current laws of nature held true at the time of the first occurance of life, than how can one assume the testing enviorment of today is that of then? How can one assure the Scientific Method is being honoured?
(Forgive me if I seem to be undermining the effort exausted in theses studes. It just apears to me that Abiogenesis, as other sciences, are often lifted above Science itself. )
Thank you.
