Do We Have The Right to Say What's Right or Wrong?
I was lead to this question while brewing my thoughts around "the primordial soup" experiments conducted in the 1950s. Curiosity to understand the origin of life on our planet was the objective. To give you a brief account of this experiment, simple substances like methane, hydrogen, and ammonia were picked (those that were believed to be available in abundance 3.8 billion years ago on young-earth) and passed them through tubes and zapped or electrocuted them (to simulate primeval lightning). Weeks later there was this brown soup they collected as a result of the setup, and in it, they found molecules that were not in any way part of this experiment! Just like that, like magic, molecules appeared. Most notably, amino acids, building blocks of protein was present! However, there's no solid evidence to claim this is how complex systems like us came into being. But these ideas and experiments sure do add stability to our understanding of the origin. In our attempts to de...
