The theory of life starting on earth by lightening striking a tidepool or puddle is the most retarded thing that has ever been accepted as truth in all of recorded history.
Flat out.
Retarded.
I have more respect for flat earthers than puddle people.
>Retarded. not that it matters to anyone... but why? Do you have a better theory? Can you give reasons for why the theory should not be true? (I havent even heard of it, btw)
Jonathan Roberts
Because it has never been proven but is still lofted up like a goddamn golden bull for all to follow.
Abiogenesis is hailed as the one thing to follow when it comes to the origin of life as if the world of science is a goddamn religion. Usually when you say "uh, lightening hitting a puddle didn't start life on this planet. I don't know what did but it sure as hell wasn't that" Veeky Forumsfags tend to get a little pissy and start calling you a christfag and whatnot.

>The theory of life starting on earth by lightening striking a tidepool or puddle That's not a theory, it's a hypothesis. If you can't tell the difference, why are you here, and not on /x/ or /b/?
Luke Stewart
The theory is not about lightening striking a puddle. The theory is about how the earth early atmosphere gave the possibility of creating life's elementray life compounds.
There is an experiment that has proven exactly that earth early atmosphere were under the right conditions to create early life compounds such as DNA.
Then it is all about game theory, when you have so many life compunds and structures, ofcourse it will be very likely that it will develop into advanced microorganism with structure.
Now, how lightening got into the picture I don't know; perhaps because Miller uray used a quick lightening in their lab to create the earth's early atmosphere.
Gabriel Moore
>The theory of life starting on earth by lightening striking a tidepool or puddle is the most retarded thing Yeah it's not in a "tidepool or puddle", but in the ocean itself. But I agree, comets brining in the amino acids, or even life, is way better.
Ian Hill
>lightening striking a tidepool or puddle >lightening hitting a puddle That's one of many possible scenarios.
The Wikipedia article is a good place to start. There are many different possibilities, and the scientific community really does have an open mind about the origins of life on Earth.
Kayden Allen
No derelict strands of dna will ever be able to create a single celled organism by itself.
Samuel Hernandez
The abiogenesis theory is the standard version for life on earth as of today. Science may say it isn't but the way they sell it to the masses screams that it is.
Nathan Miller
>But I agree, comets brining in the amino acids, or even life, is way better.
Which would be created how elsewhere?

Kayden Long
Do you realize how fucking stupid the majority of people are? It's geared towards them because it's pop sci and can make the distributer a lot of money.
What headline sounds better, this is all the pop sci media gives a shit about.
Caleb Taylor
A FALSIFIABLE LOGICALLY VIABLE CONCEPT IS CALLED A FUCKING HYPOTHESIS.
YOU GET ONE OF THOSE AND THEN YOU TEST IT.
IF THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS IT YOU CALL IT A FUCKING THEORY YOU CUNT FLAP.
You understand a fuckton of scientists believe that because of Miller–Urey experiment that it is a theory now right?
You fucking autist.
Jayden Bailey
>Do you realize how fucking stupid the majority of people are? It's geared towards them because it's pop sci and can make the distributer a lot of money.
Such a cheap fucking excuse. No wonder the science world is in a lull.
William Morales
I'm raging against the failure of Veeky Forums cunts to differentiate between a hypothesis and a theory, as well as being anti-speculation for no apparent reason.
I don't care about that particular hypothesis/theory.
I didn't even bring it up.
I just came in autist raging out of the blue.
BECAUSE I HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS!

Brody Price
nice retort faggot
I guess Veeky Forums really as retarded as Veeky Forums. You all pretend to understand this world yet can't defend your beliefs. It's fucking pathetic.
Mason Sanchez
It's not worth retorting when it's clear you have little understanding of basic chemistry. I'm not going to go over all of introductory chemistry just for you so I'll just leave you with a hint as to why it's an accepted theory: Energy, Thermodynamics and Redox Reactions. That's generalizing a whole lot but just apply it to the theory. Stop bitching about Veeky Forums not entertaining your shitposts. Veeky Forums is not a replacement for entire university courses. Stop thinking we will dump entire lectures on you. It won't kill you to read a book, retard.
Jaxon Powell
Holy shit you are beyond mad.
There is no way possible that warm soup can create life. Single celled organisms can not be birthed by stagnant dna.
Unless you would like to prove me otherwise.
Retard.
Nicholas Lewis
The point he was making was that Veeky Forums believes in a terrible theory without any sort of evidence to back it. By your empty response you proved him right.
Ryan Carter
You have heard of Miller-Urey experiment and later variations of the experiment, right? We were able to create biomolecules from that necessarily for life. We also see that in some formations of compounds that they replicate the structures of DNA. That's not the whole story though but it's pretty simple to see why people believe in abiogenesis for those reasons, among others. I'm not saying I blindly believe in it but my issue with you is that you understand none of the concepts with it/ arguments for it other than taking it at face value. You also do nothing but provide empty responses because people disagree with you. In my opinion, I see you no different from the "if evolution still exists, why we got monkeys" type of people.
Nolan Parker
>accepted as truth no scientist claims to know how exactly life started.
Jose Turner
seems to be this faggot does
Carter Clark
>can't create single celled organism through the miller-urey experiment >say that I don't understand core elements because you said so
Just because it created a fucking building block didn't mean that abiogenesis is validated.
Evan Foster
You just sat there and basically said that he has no idea what he's talking about because you said so. Pretty pompous even by Veeky Forums standards.
Camden Roberts
Understanding the concepts behind it doesn't mean acceptance of the theory. I'm only playing devil's advocate as to why some may believe it. I didn't claim it's accepted, just that people believed in it. Again the experiment was only one component of arguements of abiogenesis but not the end-all-be-all proof of it. That and there's not an accepted theory for the origin of life.
Jace Lee
Electrical theories are invalid then, because we can't create wires from energy.
Sebastian Evans
I get that you're playing devil's advocate, but you didn't have to be a douche about it. You may have some valid points but just dismissing the other guy claiming he doesn't know anything is very condescending.
Connor Hughes
You're right, and nobody is claiming that's what happened.
> life starting on earth by lightening striking a tidepool or puddle
I have never in my life heard this. What is this hypothesis called? In school I only learned about abiogenesis happening near undersea volcanoes. But nothing about lighnting. Wouldnt that mean life had to have started out in shallow water? Isnt that something that we can check?
Tyler Nguyen
Probably because the childish simplification of "le lightning hitting mud puddle" is a description which is usually peddled by creatards of various religions. It's just reducto ad absurdum, "the way I describe it sounds silly, therefor it's false!", if you were actually interested in discussing the hypothesis you would have at least read how the original experiment was set up. Having done so you would have noticed that nowhere in the experiment does the simulated "lightning" have to hit the water, it's just there to better simulate the early earth's atmospheric conditions.
If you don't want to be called a creatard, don't talk like a creatard.
Camden Morris
Now that is a strawman and a poor one at that.
Hudson Morris
Well the lightening hitting mud theory is one of the situations where Abiogenesis could occur. So...
Chase Williams
That progression has never taken place naturally.
Josiah Ortiz
Yes it has and there's massive amounts of molecular evidence for it?
Ryan Russell
No, it's not. We can create electrons and other matter using particle physics. We can study and define electrical properties using properties of electrons and mediums. Analogically we can study the synthesis of organic molecules, and we can study life that's already functioning. By "rounding" we turn quantum states into definite large-scale electrical behavior, and by "rounding" we turn organic dis-organized reactions into organized reactions.
YOU have to find any evidence or argument that a hyperabundance of organic molecules can't become self-propagating, otherwise I am more right than you.
Lucas Stewart
Oh so by filling in the blanks and not observing a natural progression means that's how it occurred?
Modern science everyone!
Nicholas Jenkins
He's saying that dismissing it as just that is pretty dishonest on OP's part.
Zachary Ross
>Yes it has and there's massive amounts of molecular evidence for it?
More like it's missing a massive amount of evidence for it.
Jacob Rivera
Wow, good one! You sure just showed all of those molecular biologists!
Jaxson Bennett
And you sure showed hard evidence of the natural progression OF HOW LIFE IS CREATED.
You had one job. One. And you failed. Chop it up and make a new one.
Blake Sanchez
Oh. Cripes. I thought there was a consensus on this now....
Carbon atoms absorb and dissipate heat. Under direct sunlight they will eventually organise themselves to dissipate heat more efficiently. Extrapolate.
Thus, with sunlight. Carbon. Liquid. Life is inevitable.
Brandon Gomez
This is just an extension of the "lazy universe" model (principle of least action). If he has a lot of math to back it up on the physical level, I'd be interested.
David Fisher
>Dimetrodon >a dinosaur Please leave.
Nicholas Martinez
Sauce on that please, I don't think I've ever seen the paper that talks about how it is necessary for lightning to actually strike the water.
Joshua Nguyen
Damn, I had that exact dinosaur book.
Iguanadons are fucking ace.
Angel Bell
Exactly how likely is it that life could've formed spontaneously? I assume pretty low since we haven't managed to manually recreate it yet. If you believe in abiogenesis would you also have to believe in the multiverse? also why does no one theorize that aliens just came and dropped a huge pod of prokaryotes into the ocean a billion years ago
Jeremiah Fisher
But then how did those aliens form user
Ayden Brown
more aleins infinite aleins
Zachary Barnes
This, I am the one who first linked to the expirment in this thread and I just wholeheartly agree with you.
I understand op, perhaps he just wants to discuss this but he is blindly believing that it will lead to a quality discussion by provocating us like that.
Nobody is claiming life is created from a lightening in puddle but I find it to be the most viable consdering so much experiments are pointing towards it. In other words, life coming from meteorites or comet is imo less viable.
Benjamin Scott
Miller were the first experiment that sucessfully created building blocks, there have been many other more modern and more successful experiments.
Luke Allen
Fuck!
This image is from a Dinosaur book I used to have as a kid! Thanks for the nostalgia flashback, I feel like I've jumped back 25 years ago..
Tyler Young
If this is true than the entire universe is teaming with life.
