Ken-

Sorry for the off-topic response. I joined the thread after the original query had been truncated away.

But, my main point is to strictly avoid ?angels-dancing-on-heads-of-pins? scholastic disputations if you seek a scientific resolution to a question.
Unless it?s falsifiable by observation or experiment, an assertion ain?t science. 

-Alan




Does this apply to the origin of life?
 
Charlene




Yes, I'd say it does. Origin of life hypotheses are falsifiable by observation and experiment. There's at least one entire journal devoted specifically to that.
