Can Science Explain the Origin of Life?

Support Stated Clearly on Patreon: / statedclearly
Darwin's theory of biological evolution helps us understand how simple life forms can give rise to complex lifeforms, but how did the first reproducing creatures come about? The origin of life needs its own explanation.
Scientists don't currently have a complete explanation for life's origins, but different labs around the globe are looking into the idea that life may have emerged from chemistry. In this animation you will learn why they are studying this idea, and you'll get to see a few of the fascinating things they have discovered.
Here are some links for further learning (organized by topic):

    I think the two most important differences between religion and science is that: 1. It's okay to say "we don't yet know" in science. Religions are about using once guessed explanations as "knowledge". 2. When measurements show that the written "knowledge" doesn't match with the reality, the "knowledge" is fixed.

    "The more I study science," he remarked, "the more I believe in God." -Albert Einstein “Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.” -Isaac Newton “DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.” -Bill Gates “With odds standing at 1 chance in 10164 of finding a functional protein among the possible 150-amino-acid compounds, the probability is 84 orders of magnitude (or powers of ten) smaller than the probability of finding the marked particle in the whole universe. Another way to say that is the probability of finding a functional protein by chance alone is a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion times smaller than the odds of finding a single specified particle among all the particles in the universe.” --Stephen C. Meyer. “Another source of conviction in the existence of God, connected with the reason and not with the feelings, impresses me as having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capacity of looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus reflecting I feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an intelligent mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a Theist.” -Charles Darwin

    rushy scoper After studying astronomy, my conclusions where a little bit different than yours, and maybe more depressing... There are several cases in the universe where something looks to be in perfect balance, but the truth is something called "survival bias". It was not in balance in the beginning, but it just happened that the universe got rid of everything else. If I apply it to humans and evolution, I do believe we just survived according to evolution, but this still doesn't explain the origin of life. The wish to live has to come from somewhere. After reading a little about the chemical evolution, it looks possible for cells to start randomly, but what would make it have the wish to survive? That's where I associated with the survival bias in the universe. If billions of random "fat blobs" were created, and a few of them just randomly had something inside that made them survive, or even divide for random reasons, after some time (aka million years) it could possibly have had one key mutation, making it stay existing. If all the billions of blobs died, then I'd say the "key mutation" is what we call the will to survive. I mean, even unicellular bacterias seems to have the will to survive without having a single brain cell.

    rushy scoper Sorry, I didn't see that you replied my answer earlier. Giving a thought about the question about dying x surviving forever, indeed this question can lead to so many other questions... It's kind of a key to understand how evolution works. I was trying to find out an answer, but there's no obvious answer. Of course the general idea would be that mutations are good to experiment different patterns and find the best genetic code for the ever changing environment, one "imortal" being would not have the same capabilities to adapt. Still.. this answer is so vague I can't even consider it an answer. What lead the living beings to divide in male/female? Even more, there are living being that didn't divide at all and are still living today, so it's not a key mutation. Man... this is really interesting. I'll research more about it!

    +rushy scoper As Tadashi said, if an organism doesn't die it also doesn't change. If you look at complex life (non singled celled forms) you'll find that they normally live long enough to reproduce and then it starts to die off. In some species that produce many young in one go (salmon for instance) it reproduces just once and dies. In other extremes where it's normal for a single offspring then the organism will normally live long enough to reproduce 4 or 5 times, possibly more, ie enough to ensure the continuation of the species. This means a shorter life span gives a more rapid "turnover" in evolutionary possibilities if you will. So any organism that does not reproduce will be out competed for resources....maybe not by it's generation but by it's competitors a few generations down the line......this is why nothing lives for ever.

    What do you mean no falsehoods, he completely ignores the Cambrian explosion, and where the genetic information came from for species changing ie fish to mammal. Darwins theory only explains Micro evolution which we see in Natural selection . For example different types of cats, from a domestic cat to a Lion. What Darwin did say in his work The Origin of species in 1859 that eventually the fossil record will show the transition species . Here we are 160 yrs later and no transition species and we have millions of fossils. Like gives birth to like, the genetic information is just NOT THERE to jump from one species to another. If Darwin was around now he would refute his own theory.

Simplification allows you to omit vital details, like why we have found half a million fish fossils but not one single transitional form, why there are no transitional forms for plants, or why DNA cannot produce any usable new information. Why do you think Gould & Eldridge have been pulling their hair out over this for decades.

It's almost "natural selection". You discard useless "traits" to survive and adapt useful "traits" to survive. Discovery Channel, History Channel, and MTV had to change in order to adapt as well, or they will die out. Evolution and natural selection are everywhere.

In man's technology this is usually weak and nonfactual. So it would be very interesting to know what that point exactly is in this case. Since you are so convinced, any idea?

    Gunter Raffel It may be that science already has explained the origin of life here on Earth, as there are theories of abiogenesis which explain quite well how life could have gotten started on a planet like this one, and very likely how life did start on many planets much like this one, but since we can't travel back in time to see exactly how life on this planet started, we wouldn't necessarily recognize an explanation of how life on this planet started if he had one. That does not mean we can't come up with an explanation. It simply means we may not know for certain exactly when we have done so. It's a bit like if I were to foll a six sided dice a million times, and then ask you to theorize what numbers came up on the first three rolls. You know they were each in the range of one through six, so you have one chance in six of getting any one of them right in a single try, and if you guess each of those possible values once as the first number that came up, you are certain to have gotten that first number right... but on which guess? Of course, the kind of life we have on this planet tells us quite a bit about the possibilities for its origin, as do other factors such as the chemicals available on our planet to work with, the size of the planet, the distance from our local star, details about the Earth's moon, and so on. However, if life on this planet was planted here by life from somewhere else, instead of happening through abiogenesis, how would we know that? The answer is that we wouldn't know for sure unless sufficient evidence had been left behind, and that does not appear to be the case. If life had been brought here from another planet, for example, we would not expect to find something like the Cambrian explosion, UNLESS the life brought here had been si simple that the evidence left behind would likely give us no clue that life had not formed here on its own, while we would definitely expect an event of that type with abiogenesis forming primitive life, because random changes would at first have little or no distinct advantages or disadvantages, and the early structured multi-cellular life forms would have likely had too much simpler life around it to consume as food for any meaningful competition to begin. If the origin of life matched any religion's creation story, since all such stories (at least that I'm aware of) involve higher order life forms being made at about the same time which were quite different from each other, rather than evolving out of more primitive forms, we should see evidence as such in the fossil records, which we do not. Of course, it is possible that some such story is true but does not go into enough detail, for example leaving out any mention of evolution being used in the process over long time scales, but if that were the case then we should see evidence in the fossil records of life having come about in the order mentioned in such a story. Again.... we do not.

    It amazes me how some religious people almost shit their pants on the idea that there is things that we yet don't know. There is a lot of things that we don't know but when it comes to the origin of life they are so freaked out that they rather oppress and ignore what we actually know and put some sort of vague place holder deity in that spot instead. They seems to feel so much better when they don't have to think about this at all. The fact that they perhaps wasn't created specificity for some glorious purpose obviously make some people very uncomfortable, it makes them loose all that can be called being rational and logic. You are OK as you are. It's OK for you not to know everything because we have all resources to find out more about the world we live in, we have done so for a really long time now and it's working out fine. You are fully capable about making your own future and find out what suits you and what makes you happy, you don't need anyone else to do this for you.

    Wooe i have no problem with science, i view it as a handy tool to find the true nature of the universe. Science tells me that there are laws in nature, laws of attraction and replusion, laws of motion, laws of gravity and many many others. We are told that if any of these laws had any different values than the ones they have that galaxies, stars, planets and even matter would not have formed. All of nature exists in harmony from the smallest quark to entire universe itself and if you can't see the intelligent design in it your faith in chance is much bigger than mine is in God. The video says they can form RNA in the lab and can coax a reaction from it with iron. But they then tell you that RNA can't even live without DNA to give it instructions. When you consider the incredibly large amount of information stored in even the smallest forms of DNA, how can you believe hundreds of thousands of molecules, consisting of trillions and trillions of atoms, all came together at one instant of time by chance and in just the right order? Again, your faith has to be stronger than mine, scientifically speaking.

The same with plastids or small cyanobacteria. This endosymbiosis is thought to be the start of early eukaryotes. There's a lot of geological time involved here and not enough space to detail the rise of endoplastistic reticullem, ribosomes, various vesicles etc. - Find a university level text-book to argue against (Campbell's "Biology" would be my choice). There are many gradual steps on the emergence of 'true cells', but we have very good evidence of how prokaryotes became the cells that all multicellular life arose from.

    As an example lets say creating life requires you to throw 1000 dice and they all have to land on a six. Pretty small chance of it happening right? But what if we are allowed to throw multiple times? What if we can try a 1000 times, or a million or a trillion times? We do not even know the true extent of existence, so how can you say the chance too small for it to happen if we do not even know how often you can try? Also keep in mind that failure means there is no observer to even note the failure, since the observer is the product of life itself.

This is an extreme case aproach, I can't quantify the odds of life originating on a planet. It is meant to show that even events with the tiniest of odds will happen if we throw often enough.

    I'll do a oversimplified version because the topic itself is quite complicated, the processes and why they happened. After the universe started to expand from the energy came to be elementary particles which formed together into the simplest atoms, hydrogen and helium. These were pulled together by gravity and under high pressure started to fuse into heavier elements, forming the first stars. Then these exploded in supernovas and got their content out which formed into the planets we know today, again, through gravity. Our Planet formed, the Earth and for a while was bombarded with asterioids, carrying over water and other elements that are required for life. It's also possible there were already organic molecules in the asteroids or even very simple life forms, these parts are hazy. But basically life probably kickstarted through chemical processes, some of which you can see in the video. If you want more detail I'd highly suggest looking it up, as I might've been inaccurate or pretty wrong on some parts, but that's basically how it went down.

    I'm currently in college and at this point I feel like I have learned quite a bit about cell biology in classes, and also just form some personal studying. I am going to be honest and say that it just seems more and more unlikely to me that life could have possibly formed at random by non-life. The more I learn about the inner-workings of cells, even the simplest of them, the harder it is to think that they could have just formed on accident. There are many, and I mean MANY, systems and basic processes that cells have that need to be in place in order for them to work, many of which are interdependent on one another. It is truly mind boggling to see how chemistry and physics work so perfectly together to allow cells to preform the processes they need to do in order to function. I feel like this video, and many other presentations like it, really over simplify how extremely difficult it is to build even simple cells, especially at random. The video mentions how basic amino acids, basic sugars and a few other molecules used in cells have been proven to form outside of life, but if you study cells deeper you can see that they are much more complex than just a bunch of these basic components put together (NOT that this video makes that claim, but I think it is only fair to point that out for people who might not know that). I guess, the point I'm getting at here is that even basic cells are extremely intricate in design, and how simple this video seems to put the origin of life just doesn't sell the idea for me. I urge everyone to read more about the inner-workings of cells elsewhere online (I say this because youtube videos are often too short and over-simplified, which is fine for its platform, however it just doesn't do much justice for this topic). From my personal experience of studying the issue it just seems almost impossible that abiogenesis could ever occur, even in very controlled conditions. Sorry for any poor grammar I know I'm clearly not an English major, but I just wanted to state my opinion. I am not trying to start a heated debate I just felt compelled try to show people that there is a much bigger picture to paint here than how this video states it.

    I'm a theist, and I love studying science, and this is exactly how I feel. There is so much order, even in the most basic cells. It's like every organalle inside a cell has a purpose and it's playing its role, and whatever it does is useful to the other components of a cell in some way or the other. Without any one of the components, a cell wouldn't function. It's the order that gets me, and we know from science as well as our common sense, that order requires intelligence. Randomness and chance does not produce order and purpose. Intelligence is a great requirement, something which many people don't realise. Anyways, it's nice to see that someone else sees it the same way that I do.

Billions of years doesn't actually aid the cause of abiogenesis. In reality it probably makes it worse. I don't see what's so threatening about considering the role of a higher intelligence. It's really the only thing that makes sense.
