That's why I'd like to see it written down, especially since this is an internet forum, not a video chat group. It's a more accurate way to break down logical arguments. YouTubers often present great stories, but those stories break down under scrutiny. The flat earth one was a good example. They present this very compelling story without mentioning the fact that we've know ...[text shortened]... ngs scientists will never know. Whether life began here or was seeded from elsewhere is one of them.
One thing religious folk bent on the idea of showing science can never figure out OOL is in the natural world of billions of years ago there are quintillions of chemical reactions going on simultaneously and that for literally millions of years. It doesn't seem a huge stretch to me reactions will build up in complexity.
But if life started elsewhere and like one hypothesis goes, life from Mars was hit with a big enough asteroid that some of the material crossed from Mars to Earth and survived the encounter with Earth and life was formed on Earth.
Of course that just puts back the OOL study as to how did life then form on Mars?
Another hypothesis deals with interstellar organic clouds passing through the solar system where some already complex molecules which have developed in space via energy supplied by nearby stars and that gas cloud slams into Earth, some of those molecules surviving the trip through the atmosphere and THAT could have led to life.
Of course all that can be richly poo poo'd by the religious set as total nonsense or just dismissed as mere hypotheses but that seems to me can go on for just so long before we actually know how life got here. Maybe we find it by going to Mars and studying the soil or maybe even bacteria buried a mile underground or maybe sampling organic interstellar clouds directly. Just throwing out possibilities that probably won't happen but maybe they could in the future.
BTW, those two vid's total over 2 1/2 hours. I didn't need to see very far into it to see their agendas, which is since mankind can't figure it out, GODDIDIT.
