Abiogenesis: Life from Non-Life

The impossibility of life arising from dead matter.

Scripture Reference: Acts 17:25

"And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else."

The Evidence

The Law of Biogenesis states that life only comes from life. Despite decades of experiments (like Miller-Urey), scientists have never observed life arising from non-living chemicals. The 'primordial soup' theory lacks evidence.

Historical Context

A single living cell is more complex than a city. It requires a membrane, energy processing, and information storage (DNA) all working simultaneously. This system had to emerge instantly; 'halfway life' is simply dead matter. The probability of this assembling by chance is effectively zero.

Significance

Naturalism cannot explain the origin of the first life.
