Do you think our society will ever be able to fully prove the origin of life on this planet?

Question

Do you think science will ever find a way to completely without any doubt prove how life originated on this planet? If so, how?

The reason I am asking if you think science will be able to prove how life originated on this planet is because I am aware of the Christian belief of the origin of man, this planet, etc. and understand that your/their beliefs do not require proof but faith alone. This question is aimed more towards those who are seeking scientific explanations.

Answer 1

No, but that does not mean that we should not keep trying.

Pope John Paul II said that he believed that science could not discover everything. That "certain aspects of our lives rise above and move beyond the material dimension and, while having deep roots in the material, surpass the understanding which the natural sciences are capable of providing."

Here is the Pope's Address to the participants in the Vatican conference on Cosmology on Saturday, 6 July 1985: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1985/july/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19850706_conferenza-cosmologia_en.html

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Probably not -- mostly because proving anything in science is a problem. Almost all of the scientific theories extant today, no matter how well established, are for technical reasons not provable. (Evolution is an exception; it is provable and I have done so.) But it is reasonable to expect that within the next hundred years or so, scientists will have created life starting from conditions like those that prevailed shortly after the earth's creation. This won't prove that life started in exactly that way, but it will be strongly suggestive that it could have.

particular, of direction. human beings asked the comparable questions seventy years in the past approximately women persons wearing pants. human beings used to lament that it would on no account be customary, that oldsters might on no account dress their little ladies in pants, that girls persons might on no account stroll down the line in pants feeling comfortable and not stared at.

It in simple terms isn't comparable to rapidly is the default and gay is a few thing appropriate and distinctive. that's going to ensue, do no longer supply up wish.

Answer 5

Even if we did prove how life was originated on this planet, people would still believe in God.

May be not our life time

Answer 7

If we can't find out where OJ Simpson hid his knife, why do you think we would be able to determine exactly what process life used to develop 3.5 billion years ago. Assuming we can reproduce the process, who is to say it was the exact same process.

I find it hard to believe we'd ever be able to understand how it took place completely, but I'm sure that as time progresses our understanding will become greater and greater.
