Do all Atheists believe in abiogenesis?

Question

' building blocks ' are a long way from self replicating DNA

Answer 1

You're damn right they're "a long way"....try a few billion years.

Answer 2

Stanley Miller (UofC?) shot electricity thru an atmosphere of ammonia, methane and hydrogen, and produced amino acids. I think that was back in the 1960s. The gasses in that atmosphere were chosen because they were deemed necessary in order to produce amino acids.
From what I've read, some time around 1980 NASA scientists concluded that earth's early atmosphere was not like that at all; it was primarily composed of water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Scientists may someday produce amino acids from scratch using materials available at the time, but even then they have a long way to go. Amino acids are to a single living cell what hamburger is to a prize-winning cow: "some assembly required."

Answer 3

As you well know abiogenesis is contested ground. A couple of interesting models but no definite one. Personally I am sure that given that the other 98% of the universe can be explained by natural processes and their interaction this can be too. There is no shame in not knowing something yet, you know. Oh, wait, maybe you wouldn't.

Answer 4

a million) Abiogenesis would not contain a dirt puddle chemically remodeling and coming up trillions of different species. 2) Abiogenesis has info helping it. EDIT: "earlier you exhibit your lack of understanding a minimum of examine the wikipedia article approximately Abiogenesis. it is particularly directly forward. i observed the ignorant dispute with none helping "info." in case you had easily examine the Wikipedia internet site, you could comprehend that it is not some airborne dirt and mud puddle that chemically transforms and creates trillions of different species of residing issues. you could additionally comprehend approximately many of the info helping it.

Answer 5

I do not believe that a supernatural being "created" everything, so yes, I do. I'm not saying that I believe in "spontaneous generation"--that's a different thing entirely.
The research I've done on the subject is far too complicated to explain here, so I'll show you some of my favorite links on the subject.

Answer 6

Abiogenesis as in saying that life was spontaneously created from dead or decayed matter ( Clay or dirt). I am going to say this atheist doesn't believe it. I do believe that when we die we turn into dead or decayed matter, which in turns allows living organisms like plants, molds and mildew to live.

Answer 7

I'll look it up and tell you....

Heck yeah! Well I do. Well, sorta...actually life is imaginary. Seriously, it's just a useful category we made up in our heads (and culture). It is debatable whether a virus is alive or not, and any simple crystal contains the reproductive criteria for life. It's not a definite line, because it's not a real distinction, because life is imaginary...tadaaaa!

Answer 8

yes, Amino acids (the building blocks of cell proteins) can be formed from ammonia,methane,water, and hydrogen..All which were in abundance on early earth. Read you high school biology book!

Answer 9

i don't, at least not the way people think it works.

yes i believe we came from a primordial ooze. but i believe the organisims and cells necessary for it were present in that ooze. so no, i don't believe we sprang from non-living matter


not all atheists think like me though. so the answer to your question, no, not ALL atheists believe this. some do, some don't.

Answer 10

Ever heard about experiments where the building blocks of life have emerged from non-living matter?

It's nifty.

Answer 11

I don't know enough about abiogenesis.

But I believe that the creation of life was natural and didn't require magical beings.
