Why is abiogenesis impossible?

Answer 1

The Science category is on your left down the hall.

Answer 2

It's not impossible, by anybody's criteria. Abiogenesis means life emerging, or being created, from non-living matter, and, whether life emerged in the oceans though a happy combination of organic molecules, or whether God took inert clay from Eden and breathed the breath of life into it, either way life was created from non-living matter. For life to have been created or to emerge spontaneously, abiogenesis had to happen. The question is now, can scientists create life from the non-living compounds from which life emerged originally, or from other materials? Also, there are questions to be answered and definitions to be formulated and agreed upon. Would an intelligent, self-aware self-sustaining and self-replicating computer, possessing a robotic body or many of them, that can respond to, interact with, and adapt to its environment be considered "alive" (the defining criteria here being awareness and interactiveness with the environment). I respond to your question with another question: how can abiogenesis, having obviously occurred at least once in the universe, be considered to be impossible?
