Included some objections made by creationists and the rebuttal to them.

looks familiar? Yep it is a different version of CDK007's classic video on the topic. I used his source original videos.

The simplest cells that can be kept alive in a laboratory have around 200 genes. Good luck getting something to self-replicate in a natural environment with just 1.

lol, and you are supposed to be a MD with a minor in chemistry, yeah right and I am the king of France =)

Simple cells have almost 4 billion years of evolution behind them, proto cells don't need 200 genes.

A RNA polymere can self replicate if it is a ribozyme. And this was not the video I was talking about, I meant abiogenesis confirmed

Lets just give heaven to the creationists and the atheists get the earth. Now, everyone go to your respective places.

@DrSim0nSayz Baloney!! And you have ABSOLUTELY NO conclusive evidence of what you say. And, I have been following the folly of abiogenisis and, still no life has been created. However, you have shown that in a reducing environment, some "building blocks" are possible. BUT WAIT, geologists can prove that there was an ozone layer long before you propose this crap. So, the results of this so called fact, keeps it a fairy tale.

"And we all know what the alternative to that is..."

Very well placed comedic relief.

@HumanResauce We can say that, but the argument has no real basis as that's not what is written in the holy books. Six days, abracadabra. Done.

There is no god problem. There is only the problem of how to explain such complex theories as these, to people with little or no understanding of even basic science and no real interest in gaining such.

Science will eventually show religion to be what it has always been; truth about nothing. But only the elite will really understand why.

32 creationist minds were blown.

@SuperKevinheart Lol perception of what? Of creation? Ok prove it then. Actually yes evolution is a fact, look it up. You didn't ask any questions actually, you just made a statement about the origin of life which has nothing to do with evolution.

[EnigmaHood]

@SuperKevinheart Why do creationist idiots like you keep using that dumb argument? You are shifting the burden of proof. No one has to disprove your baseless claims. Try disprove the Easter Bunny, you can't do it. That's how nonsensical your argument is.

[SuperKevinheart]

@EnigmaHood yes but you can't disprove anything it is evidence that is absent.

[SuperKevinheart]

@EnigmaHood your not making fun of my beliefs because again your perception is false. You keep stating that evolution is fact but its not and you haven't answered my questions at all instead you result to insults which says more about you than about me.

[EnigmaHood]

@SuperKevinheart Lol so what? There no longer is any debate in the scientific community on evolution. Evolution is a fact. Lol every fossil ever discovered is a transitional species. We do dumbfuck. Your last statement proves you are a moron. I already told you that the origin of life is not the same as evolution. Go get an education.

[EnigmaHood]

@SuperKevinheart I know. I'm making fun of your beliefs by calling them fairytales. But really, your beliefs are indistinguishable from fairytales because you have no evidence supporting your claims. Stop being a moron.
