You know your religion is in trouble when your argument for the existence of God is the convenient shape of a banana.

On abiogenesis and the Urey-Miller experiment, from top peer-reviewed science journals.
- Published in Science, 1953: http://www.issol.org/miller/miller1953.pdf
- Published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2002: http://mbe.oupjournals.org/cgi/content/full/19/10/1645
On abiogenesis, for laymen, from Duke University: http://www.chem.duke.edu/~jds/cruise_chem/Exobiology/miller.html
On abiogenesis and the RNA world hypothesis:
- "RNA-Catalyzed RNA Polymerization: Accurate and General RNA-Templated Primer Extension" (Science)
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/292/5520/1319.pdf
- "Even peptides do it" (Nature)
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v382/n6591/pdf/382496a0 .pdf
On the RNA World Hypothesis and abiogenesis:
- "Exiting an RNA World" (Nature) http://www.nature.com/nsmb/journal/v7/n1/full/nsb0100_5.html
- "Exploring the possibility of an RNA Word" http://www.nature.com/nsmb/journal/v6/n11/full/nsb1199_997.html
On speciation:
-*** "Genetic evidence for complex speciation of humans and chimpanzees" (Nature)
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v441/n7097/pdf/nature04789.pdf
- "Sympatric speciation in palms on an oceanic island" (Nature)
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v441/n7090/pdf/nature04 566.pdf
"Ecological Speciation in South Atlantic Island Finches" (Science)
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/315/5817/1420.pdf
* If you only have the time to read one article, please read this one. It was co-authored by Professor Eric Lander, genetic biologist at MIT who ran the GENOME project up until it's completion and is currently the head of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. His work enabled us to map all the genes in the human genome as well as the chimpanzee genome.

The banana was designed...by humans. Take a look at a wild banana, it's freaking full of seeds.
