Thermodynamics of Living systems-Origin of Life

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4702336.stm
"Understanding how life emerged on Earth within 1,000 million years of its formation is a fascinating scientific problem "

Prof Ian Smith, University of Cambridge
Life on Earth was unlikely to have emerged from volcanic springs or hydrothermal vents, according to a leading US researcher.
Experiments carried out in volcanic pools suggest they do not provide the right conditions to spawn life.

David Deamer, emeritus professor of chemistry at the University of California at Santa Cruz, said ahead of his presentation: "It is about 140 years since Charles Darwin suggested that life may have begun in a 'warm little pond'.

"We are now testing Darwin's idea, but in 'hot little puddles' associated with the volcanic regions of Kamchatka (Russia) and Mount Lassen (California, US)."
"The results are surprising and in some ways disappointing. It seems that hot acidic waters containing clay do not provide the right conditions for chemicals to assemble themselves into 'pioneer organisms.'"
Professor Deamer said that amino acids and DNA, the "building blocks" for life, and phosphate, another essential ingredient, clung to the surfaces of clay particles in the volcanic pools.

"The reason this is significant is that it has been proposed that clay promotes interesting chemical reactions relating to the origin of life," he explained.

"However," he added, "in our experiments, the organic compounds became so strongly held to the clay particles that they could not undergo any further chemical reactions."




If it is hard to imagine polypeptides or polysaccharides in primordial waters it is harder still to imagine polynucleotides. But so powerful has been the effect of Miller's experiment on the scientific imagination that to read some of the literature on the origin of life (including many elementary texts) you might think that it had been well demonstrated that nucleotides were probable constituents of a primordial soup and hence that prevital nucleic acid replication was a plausible speculation based on the results of experiments.

There have indeed been many interesting and detailed experiments in this area. But the importance of this work lies, not in demonstrating how nucleotides could have formed on the primitive Earth, but in precisely the opposite: these experiments allow us to see, in much greater detail than would otherwise have been possible, just why prevital nucleic acids are highly implausible.

@farzanatasneem

Done !

[FrankLightheart]

@farzanatasneem I stand corrected.

Doesn't change my point. If you're not trying to dispute the science, I have no problem. You're free to believe whatever you like.

[FrankLightheart]

@farzanatasneem Yeah, that still sounds pretty harsh for the sin of "leaving prayers". I think I'm a little gray on what you mean by that. Perhaps you can extrapolate upon this "obligatory prayer" business and why we get 60,000 years in Hell for doing it?

[farzanatasneem]

So when we talk about punishment for leaving prayer we still call it a punishment FOREVER

This is because 60000 yrs are like many many earthly lives

But the punishments differ for different sins

[farzanatasneem]

Understanding hell and heaven is even easy with the knowledge of long lives of stars and galaxies.

When we leave one obligatory prayer it amounts to punishment of 60,000 years

@FrankLightheart

Blessings and peace are sent on the Prophet, not on Allah .

Allah is the source of every peace and blessings.

Humans cannot give anything to God

[FrankLightheart]

@farzanatasneem And that's another thing: the whole "eternal Hell/Heaven" system is so inefficient. Why do the guys that eat pork have to go to the same place as the murder/rapists? With the God Boardroom, when you commit minor crimes, you get community service. You work off your dept, learn your lesson, and then go to Heaven when your sentence is up.

[FrankLightheart]

@farzanatasneem No no. I can imagine. I've got a great imagination. Imagining something is not the problem. I simply do not see a reason to assume that a god must've been responsible when the process is natural and unassisted. If you WANT to imagine that Allah (blessings and peace be upon him) waved his hand over the whole thing, go ahead, just so long as you don't try to deny that the process actually happened.

@FrankLightheart

He has kept full track of everything and he judges the people according to their deeds .

So those who were the cause of this loss will be dealth with accordingly and those who searched for the word of God and then sticked to its teachings will also be rewarded for it

[farzanatasneem]

@FrankLightheart

You cannot imagine or you do not want to imagine that God created this self replicating code of life and created circumstances to replicate it with the help of cells they exist in

[FrankLightheart]

@farzanatasneem Scriptures lost to time? Your god has full control over everything he creates, yet he can't keep track of his own holy documents? HA!

My boardroom of gods would NEVER let that happen! They have built-in redundancies to prevent information loss AND they backup all their work! Their efficient filing system is more sophisticated than anything the human mind can conceive!

The God Boardroom would never be caught dead fumbling though a shoe box of last year's receipts!
