Why Life Couldn’t Have Evolved From Non-Living Chemicals


Listen Later

Atheists must believe that living creatures evolved from non-living chemicals, via a process commonly called chemical evolution (aka abiogenesis). But real scientific laws, especially of chemistry and information theory, refute this. Chemical processes go in the opposite direction required.

For example, life needs exclusively ‘one=handed’ molecules, while random chemistry produces an equal mix of left and right handed molecules. Also, little molecules in water don’t combine to form the needed big molecules; rather any big molecules break down to little molecules.

Yet another problem is the wrong kinds of reactions, which chemical evolutionists avoid by buying pure reactants. Chemical evolutionists also can’t explain the encyclopedic information content needed for enzymes, DNA, and molecular machines essential for life.

Join physical chemist Dr Jonathan Sarfati for a discussion of the building blocks of life, and how everything we know about chemistry argues against the imagined chemical start to evolution.
