Ok, exactly how is it a "lame" argument?
If Life must have an origin- WHERE did it happen?
Be realistic.
It's JUST as plausible that the life that exists on Earth Originated on Earth, more so considering that so far, there is no hint of life existing anywhere else in the Solar System.
Is it possible that life on Earth did not originate here? Sure, it's possible. But as of right now, we have no real reason to think it didn't.
To me, it's a lame argument to say, "Life couldn't have just formed here."
Ok then where did it?
Or did a deity do it?
And again...
It is NOT Difficult for life to begin.
It really isn't.
Not in Chemistry.
Given the chemistry- it WILL happen. It's just a matter of when.
One scientist managed to create the precursors in a test tube over the course of just 25 years.
25 years... THink about that.

"As of 2008 no one has yet synthesized a protocell using basic components which would have the necessary properties of life."

So what?
Nice thinky face. You like that one.
You know, A.DIM, it would be helpful if you rationally made rational arguments instead of trying to act coy.
Coy doesn't suit you.
