Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

Nir Goldman, of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US, says that the work does provide ‘new insights into the idea that electrical discharges, for example lightning, could have played a role in the formation of prebiotic molecules on early Earth’. Goldman adds, however: ‘One criticism is that the authors chose to use a somewhat reduced or hydrogen-rich mixture in their study, whereas the atmosphere on early Earth is thought to have been carbon dioxide rich, which could entail very different chemistry in the presence of an electric field. Similar studies on a more realistic prebiotic mixture could yield interesting predictions for future experiments.’"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

But go on believing that every criticism must be wrong because you disagree with what you think someone believes (I don't take a position on this) and make it so much easier for everyone to ignore you.
Or you could just tell me why it's not bad methodology if you think it can be defended - you know, act civilized."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

The atmosphere at the time would be obviously toxic to the early life forms and every other possible life form.Last edited by shunyadragon; 09-23-2014, 11:46 AM.

For example ocean sea vents are a hydrogen rich reducing environment, where prolife components possibly formed. It is unfortunate that the critics di not note this.

Originally posted by Paprika View PostI'm not quite sure that deep sea vent environments would have a 1.6:1.6:1.6:2:1 ratio of water, ammonia, methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen. Given the concentration of the products used, it seems obvious to me that the closest reasonable environment would be one exposed to atmosphere.
