The video in that link even give advice on how to clean the lab equipment after the experiment.
I think that a much more sophisticated variation of the experiment should be tried out where some ground up granite rock and also a bit of clay is put into the reaction chamber because that would better simulate all that what was present on early Earth.
Also, ...[text shortened]... owing bobbles in the liquid a bit like oxygenaers do in fish tanks but minus the oxygen content.
22 Jan '14 12:57Originally posted by humyThe only problem with that scenario is time. A real experiment would have to speed up the reaction a million to one and I don't see how all of that could be accomplished in a lab setting.

I think this experiment was just the opening round for those folks anyway. They will probably do the advanced work you suggested.

To all you creationists out there, this is the separate science of life origins, it is NOT part of evolution.
This is a totally different scientific discipline.

Clearly not true, you are interested in those sciences that helps you and your family survive but that is about it.
The rest you could care less. You are a Luddite.

23 Jan '14 17:35Originally posted by EladarI have expectations of available futures. I will not call that faith. You insist on the word faith because in your mind it equates science and religion, you think them to be one and the same so every scientist is working from faith.

23 Jan '14 17:482 editsOriginally posted by PonderableI think you misunderstand just a bit. People that have studied modern abiogenesis theories like I have would generally think that life cannot spontaneously appear from amino acids and this is not the way it could have happen. The currently thinking is that RNA-like molecules spontaneously formed that functioned simultaneously as both genetic and enzymatic molecules and were engulfed by oily 'microspheres', that would have also spontaneously formed, to form protocells which later evolved into what we would more easily recognize as living cells today (there is already some amazing experimental evidence of how these microspheres would have formed on the Early Earth ) . Those first protocells probably had no amino acids (or at least didn't need them ) and certainly had no complex proteins or any of the complexity of modern living cells. Only evolution could have made all that complexity that gradually came later.
The point is the creation of amino acids.
Nothing about origin of life or anything. Everybody in science knows perfectly well, that a soup of amino acids being left alone is nothing than nourishing soup.
The point is not to prove that live has begun in a round bottle flask, but to disprove the thesis that amino acids can only be made by organisms, a ...[text shortened]... f an oligoamnioacid by use of some structural catalyst (take granite or clay) could win a Nobel.
