Abiognesis: excerpt from a book.

Quickless

Abiogenesis originally showed promise at the level of logic but has to date been a sterile research agenda.

"There is a wealth of scientific "EVIDENCE" ... pertaining to abiogenesis." I found this statement to be rather ambitious.

Can anyone site any current work on the topic?

There's more, but I'm busy.

Why was my post deleted? I posted an 'indirect' thanks to Jackmell. Since its been deleted, thanks Jackmell for the explanation.

That's ok, that's alright. No need to thank me. I'm happy to help. For free too! Think now we'll both get deleted . . .

Thanks, ryan_m_b, for that video link. I popped into this forum to ask about the state of research, and have already found a wealth of helpful terms for the popcorn-popping layman, such as myself, to mull over.

What I would like to know is if the prebiotic examples (or analogues thereof) in the video are actually found in and around hot vents today, ie, any plausible, intermediate, replicating material out there in around ocean vents now?

Thanks.
