How did life begin? Did earth's vast array of life evolve from nothing? How does inert, lifeless matter become living tissue? What chemical processes transform nonliving substances into living organisms? Can these processes begin spontaneously, or do they require miraculous intervention? Can life be convincingly attributed to a supernatural cause-a Giver of life?
These are fundamental questions for which we need believable answers.
This area is particularly troublesome for those who accept the atheistic, evolutionary explanation for life. Even Richard Dawkins, the diehard evolutionist, admits that "the essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale. Whatever is the explanation for life, therefore, it cannot be chance. The true explanation for the existence of life must embody the very antithesis of chance" (Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, p. 317, emphasis added).
Science falls short in providing convincing support for the theory of evolution. In spite of years of concerted attempts, solid evidence for the spontaneous generation of life simply does not exist. The theory of evolution remains just that-an unproven theory.
The fact remains that there is no scientific evidence that life came from nonliving matter. Attempts to show that life can spontaneously generate from nonlife have instead demonstrated the opposite. In spite of much-hyped headlines to the contrary, when scientists have tried to create the most favorable conditions in controlled laboratory experiments they haven't come anywhere close. They have managed only to confirm the astronomical odds against life arising spontaneously. It hasn't happened, nor will it ever happen. Life must come from preexisting life.
