If life from nothing spontaneously began, why can't humans create life from nothing?

Question

Why can't humans duplicate a random occuring process?

Answer 1

Because the elements of DNA do not come together naturally on their own accord. If life came together spontaneously, it would be impossible to prevent it from happening in a lab or anywhere else and it would be an ongoing process, unstoppable. Yet, those who believe it did, say that "one day" we will prove that it did. Those who require proof lack the one thing they need ... Proof.

RNA has NEVER been produced from scratch in a lab. Peptides, the building blocks for both DNA and RNA have been produced but they do not and did not pull together into life of any form.

Answer 2

"If life from nothing spontaneously began."
I'm not aware of a theory like this.

I am aware of the theory that states amino acids are quite common naturally occurring chemicals throughout the universe. And it’s well known those amino acids can chemically combine to form protein units under certain heats and pressures. Of course humans have no understanding of how those units evolved into humans, but we’re starting to understand how they evolved to bacteria. The evolution from bacteria to human is quite complicated.

A “random occurring process” might be hard to understand or fathom, but it’s certainly more believable than some magic superior being that creates whole planets out of nothing.

Answer 3

"If life from nothing spontaneously began, why can't humans create life from nothing?"

Sorry, but who says life spontaneously began?

Evolution, is a T H E O R Y. Look it up. It is the best we have based on current evidence. Not set in stone, like some ridiculous beliefs.

If Theists knew half what they think they know, they would still be clueless.

Answer 4

RNA was created in a lab setting years ago.

Edit:
There was a news story in the last several weeks about RNA structures being formed by space dust, wish I had saved the link. Interesting article.

Edit 2:
I didn't give the article high precedence as it is initial findings. But the one thing that stood out is that by the textbook biology definition fire could be considered a life form, and we've been making that for years.

Edit 3:
Added links for created amino acids:

Answer 5

Life did not begin from nothing. There is evidence of the evolution of it from simpler elemants and the compounds. We soon will be able to dplicate life. We are coming ever closer. We have created some of the building blocks of life. You should read some science news and put down that creationist nonsense that has all been refuted by reputable scientists. To find truth, you must look objectively at both sides of any issue.

Answer 6

The random occurring process weren't duplicated by humans in the first place. My best guess is that the life were brought here by meteors.

Answer 7

Randomly occurring processes are difficult to reproduce, but it can happen.

Evolution has a hundreds of millions of years long history of adaptation, change, mutation and combination that is tough to reproduce.

Answer 8

Give it a couple years honey. R&S should be fun then when they achieve it in the lab. It won't really matter. The ostriches will just bury their heads deeper in the sand.

Answer 9

As soon as scientists create life it proves that there was no god! It is said only a supreme being could create life, apparently, that isn't true.

Answer 10

Give us another few years -- after all, the Universe had a 13 billion-year head start....
