When I was little, my grand father would amaze us by pulling coins out of our ears. We would ask him "How did you do that?", but his only answer was "Magic."
That answer satisfied us for awhile, but I always felt there must be more to it than that. So I practiced palming the coins and eventually got good enough at it to fool other kids.
Abiogenesis simply means "Life from Non-Life."
The evidence shows that at one time there was no life on earth and yet now we see that there is life on earth. Abiogenesis happened.
Somehow, somewhere, at some point in time, life came from non-life.
I wonder how that happened.
While I know that Abiogenesis happened, what I seek is "How?"
As I asked my Grandfather, "How did you do that?", I look at the universe and ask, "How did life come from non-life?"
I could, as I did when I was four or five watching my Grandfather pull coins from my brothers ear, accept the answer, "Magic." That really is what the answer "Goddidit" really says.
Many will gladly accept the answer "Magic" and even be totally satisfied with that answer, but personally I find that lacking, weak and very unsatisfactory. I want to know "How God did it."
Goddidit, like magic, is always a potential answer, but an answer that tells us nothing.
I seek more. I seek a model of Abiogenesis, a Theory of Abiogenesis that like the Theory of Evolution, will explain "How God did it."
