- Cosmozoic
- Supreme being

|
- The abiogenesis theory indicates that life has come from preexisting
non-life.
|
|
4
|
- Biogenesis is the belief that
life comes from preexisting life.
- By placing an a before the word you negate the meaning in many cases.
|

|
- For example sexual reproduction involves the combination of the sperm
with the ovum and results with a combined offspring with
characteristics of both parents. By placing an a in front of sexual
reproduction you negate that and thus means no combination of genes in
the offspring.
- Asexual reproduction is when the offspring is the same as the parent.
Binary fission or budding are examples.
|
|

|
- Another term for abiogenesis is spontaneous generation.
- The continuation of the changes in life forms to a more complex
arrangement would be referred to as evolution.
- Evolution is changes made throughout time. For example the changing of
life on the so called phylogenetic scale.
|
|
7
|
- The phylogenetic scale is a listing of organisms from the simple to the
more complex. For example man is on top of the phylogenetic scale and
blue green algae is found at the bottom. All of the organisms in between
have evolved to a complex form beginning with the blue green algae.
|

|
- Blue green algae, amoeba, hydra, flatworms, round worms, segmented
worms, fish, ape and on top man.

- Man
- Ape
- Fish
- Segmented worms
- Round worms
- Flatworms
- Hydra
- Amoeba
- Blue- green algae

|
- This is a continuation of abiogenesis but first before evolution you
have to have a life form. Abiogenesis started life from non life,
example the Big Bang Theory.
|
|
11
|
- The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin
of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created
sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic
explosion that hurled matter and in all directions.

- History of Theories on the Origin of Life
- Spontaneous Generation via Abiogenesis - Widely accepted well into the
19th century.
- Pasteur- believer in Biogenesis.
- Pasteur and Tyndall did controlled experiments to disprove theories of
spontaneous generation with present day atmosphere.
- Kelvin- spontaneous generation impossible under any conditions
- Haeckel, later Oparin suggested that abiogenesis could have taken place
under different atmospheric conditions.
- Oparin, Haldane. Primary abiogenesis. Life originated under reducing
conditions.
- Today, atmosphere is strongly oxidizing. Organic compounds less stable.
- Today, organic compounds suitable as precursors of life would be
devoured by some existing life form.
- Stanley Miller (1960s) experimentally modelled the processes
hypothesized by Oparin.

- -Hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water sealed together in a sterile
beaker.
- - Water evaporated, condensed to simulate rain.
- - Electrical sparks introduced to simulate lightning.
- After several days, organic compounds began to form, including many
amino acids.
- With Hydrogen Cyanide added, production of nitrogenous bases (precursors
of nucleic acids) occurred.
- Condensation and Polymerization:
- Polymerization involves assembly of monomer subunits into chains.
- Various cyanic compounds produce dipeptides through condensation
reactions involving hydrolysis.
- ADP, ATP major sources of metabolic energy in cells, can be formed by
reactions between hydroxyapatite and cyanic acid.
- Stability and concentration of polymers:
- Proteinoids can be formed through the dry heating of amino acids. Some
have enzymatic activities.
- Certain substrates, such as layered clays,promote the formation of
polypeptides.
- Membraneous droplets (Vesicles) form through the agitation of aqueous
liquids with organic films on top.
- Properties of Vesicles:
- 1. Selective permeability of compounds entering or exiting vesicle.
- 2. Permit concentration of organic compounds inside, increasing the
probability of particular

- The origin of life on Earth is
one of the most intriguing scientific puzzles. Researchers are divided
into two camps. One group believes that life was created de novo on
earth (in clay or in the ocean). The other group suspects that life came
from outer space, though not ready-made in the form of aliens but as
molecular building blocks of organic matter.
Or was a lower form of life dropped off.

- Erich Von Daniken's book Chariots of the Gods has been made into a TV
documentary called In Search of Ancient Astronauts and gave him instant
fame. It was narrated by Rod Sterling who had a very dramatizing voice
and got many people interested.
- Von Daniken has now written Odyssey of the Gods.

|
- Maybe just maybe we are rejects. Perhaps we are retarded individuals
from another planet that had said get those low lifes off our planet and
send them to Earth. As we try to approach them by radio signals they say
let the retards down there just disregard their pleas to speak to us.
|
|
16
|
- God created life.
- Possibly as the bible states created Adam and Eve.
- God created lower form of life and we evolved into who we are.
- Budda created us.
