Advances in the science of abiogenesis

The problem of phosphorus in the abiogenesis of life may be resolved. Phosphorus is necessary for abiogenesis, but the problem was how it could naturally avaialble for the beginning of life.

Lab-made primordial soup yields RNA bases

The chemical feat strengthens theory that the first life on Earth was based on RNA.


Single strand ribonucleic acid, RNA research and therapy.
RNA has been synthesized in conditions that may have resembled those on the early Earth.

It seems they synthesized the bases for RNA, but not RNA itself, for RNA, you need ribose. This statement claims too much, as does the claim that they can form under one set of conditions, which turns out to be two sets of conditions.

No, it does not claim too much it claims what it claims read again, but . . .

So where do they synthesize RNA?

But is it racemic? Probably so, and if so, puts a dent in their claim.

Where do who synthesize RNA? The goal of the research over time to determine various ways RNA can come about naturally.

There are no dents in claims, nor claims as you interpret them. Scientific knowledge builds over time with progressive research and discoveries.

I noted a claim that RNA had been synthesized, "RNA has been synthesized in conditions that may have resembled those on the early Earth." Only they didn't synthesize RNA, so this claim is false.

Well, without homochirality you don't get a biomolecule, in all probability.

No it is not. You lack the fundamental knowledge in the biological science to make such a statement.

Probability is absolutely meaningless without a falsifiable hypothesis. Besides it is meaningless anyway, because as previously referenced it is a false method to evaluate abiogenesis and evolution, because it is based on the assumptions of a religious agenda, and not legitimate scientific evidence and methods.

This is not complicated, they claimed to have synthesized RNA, but they only synthesized some of RNA's building blocks. Their stated next step was to synthesize ribose, another component of RNA.

You are perpetually arguing from ignorance, and often ignoring the advancements of scientific research and discoveries concerning the origins of RNA/DNA.
