Is the origin of life and the theory of evolution flawed?

How life began is a complex question with many potential answers and more information is gathered every day. However, the questions of how life began have no bearing on the fact that evolution has occurred/is occurring. The fact that the primordial Earth is completely obliterated may forever prevent us from discovering how life on Earth specifically originated. It does not change the fact that evolution has occurred and can be observed to be occurring wherever there are living organisms. Anyone insisting that evolution is invalid without a valid theory of abiogenesis is simply lying.

Not the same thing : - Origin of life on Earth : not yet solved (endo or exogenesis, panspermia...). - Evolution : well known process, as well as Archimede theory for buoyancy. How can this (start of life) happen? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It's biochemistry. There are several proposed mechanism, we don't know which one. Is it happening today in nature? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - No on Earth. It's impossible. Any new tiny sign of a new kind of life would be destroyed within minutes by older and stronger life. Can it be replicated in the laboratory? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Start of Life : Yes You just need 4 or 5 perfectly sterilized planets, and funds for 1 billion years of experiments. - Evolution : Yes breeding, vaccination... Is there any evidence of this phenomena? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Yes, one : Life do exist on planet Earth and is still evolving. Is it just faith like any religion? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - No : faith doesn't need evidences.

Evolution sounds much easier to believe when you look at the alternative from genesis... I can't envision life beginning with some mud and spit from a supernatural being.

No, evolution states that once life arose, organisms slowly changed and took on new features and lost others, sometimes having whole branches die off. How it all started is a big question but the fact that we have not answered that question yet and that we may never answer it does not disprove the obvious liniage of dinosaurs from reptiles, birds from dinosaurs, and humans from an earlier primate. An open question in science is NOT proof of a magical counter theory.

The premise is incorrect. Start with what evolutionary explanation (theory) is "There are three important concepts within evolutionary biology: 1.the definition of evolution (common ancestry and descent with modification) 2.the processes of evolutionary change (for example, natural selection and genetic drift) 3.The patterns of evolutionary relationships (depicted as phylogenetic trees or cladograms)." http://ncse.com/evolution/education/defining-evolution There's no part of Evolutionary explanation (Theory) that "states that life started from a primordial soup" "The standing of evolutionary biology is independent of the origin of life. This has been true from the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859....However, faced with mounting evidence in support of evolutionary biology coming from scientific fields from genetics to paleontology, the origin of life has become an obsession with creationists who assert that science's failure to create life de novo is "proof" of supernatural creation." http://ncse.com/rncse/27/3-4/review-origins-life Which means linking evolutionary explanation (theory) the the origin of life is incorrect and a red herring. Finally: "1.The theory of evolution applies as long as life exists. How that life came to exist is not relevant to evolution. Claiming that evolution does not apply without a theory of abiogenesis makes as much sense as saying that umbrellas do not work without a theory of meteorology. 2.Abiogenesis is a fact. Regardless of how you imagine it happened (note that creation is a theory of abiogenesis), it is a fact that there once was no life on earth and that now there is. Thus, even if evolution needs abiogenesis, it has it." http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB090.html

It is not happening anywhere we know at the moment. Conditions were vastly different at the time it was happening compared to now. It has been partially replicated in a lab and it has been proven that the pieces necessary do exist naturally in sufficient amounts to make it possible. It does require a couple of A+B=C conclusions but that's a matter of probability and time rather than 'faith' in something unprovable.

Scientists have been trying to create stuff in labs for decades no sucess, I believe evoulution is false because of this, there is more evidence for a God then evoulution!

Doesn't really matter how life started.... suffice it to say that it did start, or you wouldn't be asking the question. "Primordial Soup" is as good a place as any for it to have started.... and no - it hasn't been replicated - life has never been re-created in a laboratory. But... it did happen - about 4 thousand million years ago now - give or take a few million years.

I have a really good website that I can recommend that deals with the worldviews and preconceptions that people bring in to science--------the hard data is all the same but people's conclusions are different depending on whether they have an evolutionary viewpoint or not :) I love reading the website's articles because science and biology are fascinating to me, and they have opened my eyes to things that I had no idea were going on in the popular scientific community. You may not believe in the site's mission statement, but enjoy reading through the articles! :)
