    Silliness apart, try looking up the Miller-Urey experiment and developmental research links. If, of course, you are really looking for information.
    Sneering at a fellow board member by a Moderator? You have a responsibility to maintain the civility here and if you fail to do so, then why are you a moderator?

    I said I was looking for information. It happened to be 1am when I found it. But I also found this:

    http://www.chem.duke.edu/~jds/cruise...gy/miller.html

    Note the objections raised to the admittedly interesting experiements.

    So you can (sort of) claim that the basis of life can be formed. The next step is how they came to work together right? Now I'm hunting for info on that too.

    I'm sorry that you felt I was sneering. Moderators happen to be allowed to have opinions too you know.

    To explain: You opened your request for knowledge thusly:

    Isn't that how life started?
    I read that as a pretty silly demand of science to prove its hypothesis by a clearly impossible demonstration.

    My counter was to put the creationist viewpoint to the same silly degree of proof. I had an astonished smiley to underline the point, and added in the next paragraph, "Silliness apart..."

    The idea was to highlight that the standards of "proof" demanded by creationists from science invariably are not applied to their own theories.

    I'm glad that you are really looking for information.
