can you help me with this experiment to create a beautiful woman?

Question

I am doing an experiment to create a beautiful woman on the basis of what Charles Darwin said in his Origin of Species (i have it right here):

"all the conditions for the first production of a living organism" could be met "in some warm little pond with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, light, heat, electricity, etc. present".

i have made a small pond in the yard, have all sorts of salt, have electricity and plenty of light, but where can i get ammonia and what does he mean by etc.?

Answer 1

Good news:
You can learn a lot about chemistry by studying the formation of amino acids from non-living molecules.

Bad news:
The first lifeforms weren't even single-celled. They were just strands of molecules able to make crude copies of themselves. It took 4 billion years of evolution for those molecules to evolve into humans. Your chances of creating a human out of molecular soup are essentially zero.

Answer 2

The primary problem with young earth creationists is that they lack any understanding of probability and statistics.

You can place these ingredients in your pool [dilute NH3 (ammonia) can be purchased at your grocery store], but then what about time?

As another poster mentioned--you may need to wait about 4 billion years, and after that you're more likely to end up with something entirely different. Biological evolution does not appear to be a guided process, from a scientific standpoint.

From a religious viewpoint, the process may have been guided. There is, as yet, no scientific method to establish that.

You see, creationists think we cannot date material with long lived isotopes because "no one has been around for a half life of rubidium." That statement presents an astounding and apalling ignorance of both statistics and of the processes of nuclear physics governed by statistical laws.

Creationists think the light from the distant galaxies crossed the intestellar voids in mere centuries rather than millions and billions of years, in violation of just about all fundamental physical laws.

Creationists think thermodynamics prevents structures like crystals, snowflakes, and RNA molecules from spontaneously forming.

The reason harping on creationists here is because yours is a standard creationist ploy--ridicule evolution by attacking a laughable strawman caricature.

Answer 3

You need to put a bra on your head. And have an older brother named Chet. And you are too late, Elizabeth Hurley has already been created.
