What evidence do we have for the origin of life from inanimate matter?
Answers
Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey provided evidence regarding origin of life from inanimate matter. They assembled an atmosphere similar to that existed on early earth. The atmosphere had molecules like ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulphide, but no oxygen and kept over water at temperature just below 100°C. Sparks were passed through the mixture of gases. At the end of a week, 15% carbon from methane had been converted to simple compounds of carbon like amino acids which make-up protein molecules. So, life arose afresh on earth.
Almost 4.5 billion years ago,when our earth was primarily created from the sun,as mentioned in the Big Bang theory,there was no trace of life at that time period.Then due to the environmental changes,first unicellular organism was created in our planet in nature controlled circumstances.And today's multicellular beings are created from those simple unicellular organisms.That's why we can easily say that the life was created from inanimate matter in our planet.
