Have they missed some crucial details that, perhaps, would instead lead us to conclusions of design? We’re often told that origin of life experiments have simulated the production of life’s building blocks under conditions that mimicked the early earth. Or at least, that’s what many textbooks say. But is this really true? This video deals with one particular challenge to the evolution of life from chemicals — the challenge of …
