Wrong -- you haven't done the reasearch. It's been reproduced more than once in a bell jar and a primordial, organic oozy mass was produced. They are continuing to experiment with this organic "goo" and in our lifetime will undoubtedly reproduce the first basic moving, breathing oranism. That will be the time for gigantic plates of crow to be passed out for those with a whole box of eggs on their face.
Your enthusiastic prediction of 'what's gonna happen' is a long way from what has happened.
If scientists ever succeeded in producing a living organism from chemicals,
it would prove that with intelligence and design it is possible. It wouldn't prove that it could happen by accident.
They're right next door to doing it -- I am still in close contact with those friends who were at Cal Tech and USC Medical Department from my college days. If you think it's daft, you're daft.
I did not state it was a "living organism," you did. It was organic and produced from a mixture of chemicals in existance in the primordial sea, and, of course, still in existance today. However, our seas have cooled over those millions of years.
Hi Lightwiz,
The difference between 'a living organism' and 'a moving, breathing organism' is .... what exactly? The phrases are substantially the same, are they not?
And again remember, even if an effort to generate life in the lab succeeds (which is doubtful at best), that dozens of PhD's expending countless hours of careful planning and putting together an experiment which mixes carefully selected chemicals in precisely measured amounts and exact amounts of energy applied at specified intervals..............
will not prove that life can happen by chance.
How could it possibly? It is the farthest thing from chance that one could imagine.
It might show that intelligence and design could do so however.
They are already producing human tissue and anyone doing enough reading, especially in medical journals would know about the progress......
Now you're playing with smoke and mirrors, my friend.
Scientists are not producing human tissue in experiments simulating primordial conditions with simulated lightning strikes.
Don't try the bait and switch here, Lightwiz. You're mixing two different stories, hoping we won't know the difference.

Now THAT'S funny. Evolution (what you believe in) has no goal, 'designs' nothing.
--------------------------------------
While you're reading the med journals, you might learn a little bit about how many different substances are actually present in human tissue.
Or make it easy, how many different substances are present in the very simplest life form.
Then calculate the impossible odds of all of those compounds generating themselves at just the right time (if they are present for very long in the primordial soup which supposedly produced them, they would actually be chemically destroyed by it).....
.......and then all simultaneously joining together (you aren't postulating that a half organism existed for any period of time, are you? One that could eat but not eliminate? One that could survive but not reproduce itself? ) in complex and interdependent chemical reactions that are required to make a living organism --- and keep it alive --- the processes of feeding, elimination of waste, repair and maintenance of the organism, reproduction, defense against chemical destruction etc.
Remember, it must be successful in all of these IMMEDIATELY, or death wins and we start over.
