Abiogenesis

So the question is, "How do you know if the blind leap of faith in abiogenesis is wrong?" ❋ Unknown (2010)

Sadly, in practice, abiogenesis is not yet allowed to be considered falsifiable or subject to the weight of evidence. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Is it acceptable for scientists, functioning as scientists within science, to take and to teach the view that belief in abiogenesis is not scientifically warranted by the evidence, and to support this view with the chemical evidence that this is not how unguided chemicals behave? ❋ Unknown (2010)

If the leap of faith in abiogenesis can persist despite the repeated failure of attempted abiogenesis theories and the absence of any defensible explanation of how it is supposed to actually work, how can a faithful believer in abiogenesis know if that faith is misplaced and they are wrong? ❋ Unknown (2010)

So, it would seem that by Coyne's own standard, believers in abiogenesis are in a state that cannot be described as a way of knowing. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Because my knowledge of abiogenesis is pretty minimal. ❋ Unknown (2008)

If you include abiogenesis with evolution, then the neodarwinist will say, Ah, but abiogenesis is completely different. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The latter statement indicates that we * have* determined that abiogenesis is impossible within the limitations of our methodology. fifth monarchy man: Exactly ❋ Unknown (2008)

This statement indicates that we have determined, within the limitations of our methodology, that abiogenesis is impossible. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The latter statement indicates that we * have* determined that abiogenesis is impossible within the limitations of our methodology. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Much more so than evolution, abiogenesis is a creation story. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Kind of like your view of abiogenesis, "I acknowledge the physical evidence is totally against me, but I believe in abiogenesis because naturalistic materialism tells me so." ❋ Unknown (2007)

You probably have no problem with those who believe in abiogenesis getting a Ph. D., which demolishes any claim you have to objectivity. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Are you implying that people who "believe in abiogenesis" shouldn't be allowed to get a Ph. D.? ❋ Unknown (2007)

But if a complete explanation for spontaneous abiogenesis is possible, then each of these assumptions will have to be filled with supported theory. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Man A: How'd that dog crap get on my bed? Man B, who had put it there because Man A is such a [neat freak]: Must be [abiogenesis]. Man A: What's that? Man B: You know, [Spontaneous Generation]? Just randomly grew out of nothing. ❋ Tiagirl (2010)

the [abiogenesis]. ❋ Word Fangirl (2016)

Guy a: "Evolutionists believe in [spontaneous generation], that living organisms popped out of non living matter" Guy b: "No, they believe in [abiogenesis], the theory that explains how naturally occurring [macro] molecules could begin to replicate themselves and evolve." ❋ Lumokinesis (2023)
