Before I even get back to anything else, let's just get this out of the way.

Hydrolysis can effect organic molecules just like it can effect inorganic molecules.

Quote:

At first glance, the RNA world hypothesis seems implausible because, in today's world, large RNA molecules are inherently fragile and can easily be broken down into their constituent nucleotides with hydrolysis. Even without hydrolysis RNA will eventually break down from background radiation. (Pääbo 1993, Lindahl 1993).




http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/RNA%20world%20hypothesis


They mention, as a solution, the synthetic-only PNA molecule.

The website I got the quote in the post above this from is wikipedia. But unfortunately I found it through google and can't remember what I typed in to get that specific entry. Hang on...

Duh, here it is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_life

I kept searching for biogenesis instead of origin of life, which is why I couldn't find it.

Quote:

Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is cleaved into two parts by the addition of a molecule of water. [...] In the discussion below, the focus is on hydrolysis of organic compounds, but one should bear in mind that there are also many well known examples of inorganic hydrolysis.




Now, based on what I'm reading on these unbiased (towards creation anyway) websites, the worst that can be said of me is that I've been mislead.

Quote:

Do I understand right that now not thermodynamics, not oxygen, not UV rays, but enzymes killed the early peptids?




Well, technically thermodynamics don't do anything. Its just an explanation of why (not how) pretty much everything happens in the universe.

Ultraviolet rays are dangerous, but won't do anything to pre-life in the water. That's why I mentioned hydrolysis.

Thermodynamics only comes into the picture explaining the flow of energy that causes the molecules to break down into simpler forms. Not the cause of the energy, of course, which you seem to think I'm saying. But that's besides the point.

The RNA world hypothesis is only one of many hypotheses of the origin of life. The six most important are listed under your Wikipedia link. Because RNA can act as enzyme, hydrolysis is indeed involved in the beginning of life by RNA - thus I was wrong with my otherwise statement. RNA can split itself by hydrolysis, and in fact needs to for reproduction.

- But how does thermodynamics "explain the flow of energy" for breaking molecules? Which thermodynamics law are you referring to?

I guess I just supposed the RNA World hypothesis was the one that everyone assumed made the most sense.

I suppose this will complicate my arguments against random biogenesis.

Well, it should in fact make your arguments easier. Scientists currently defend their preferred origin theory by attacking the others. This gives you plenty of serious, scientific arguments against any of the theories.

I have not yet up my mind which theory I like most. I'll be away from this forum the next time, but after I'm back I can give you one of those theories that you can then attack if you want, and I'll defend it.

Please change the topic's name.

Its not science vs creation, its evolution vs creation.

This topic is probably going to slow down now that we've split biogenesis into another thread. So changing the name would be rather pointless.

Evolution is a science, creation is superstition (i.e. outside of your fundamentalists' [censored] up brains there is no positive evidence of creation -just the reverse "it's so complicated that only a supreme being -the supreme being of the dogma that has brainwashed me- could have created it all!").

Why? If science is the method to disprove creation, then 'science vs. creation' is a good title. Yes, evolution might be the opposing theory in general, but there's more science that could or actually is discrediting parts and or the whole of creation, not just the 'evolution theory' alone.

Quote:

I totally agree. Infact, I really can't grasp their basic idea of, there's got to be "something devine creating everything from nothing without any evidence supporting our theory", but accepting random spontaneous creation of matter? I don't think so. Lol.

Repeat after me: It's "Cogito, ergo sum" (Latin: "I am thinking, therefore I exist"). It's not "Deus creat, ergo sum". How the hack could you end up concluding that?

It's getting old, I know, but being created by a God simply is not logical. And, no not everything that's unlogical is untrue, but in this particular case, how could we even know for sure?

Cheers
