@eladar saidNo idea. Evolution is provable, but who LUCA was is not.
@wildgrass
So my edit. No earthly idea how life began.
I have a question for you. Does the concept of abiogenesis contradict religious doctrine? If so, why?
@wildgrass saidProvable nased on your assumptions. Of course all other assumptions are laughable from your point of view.

@kellyjay saidA follow up on the tour talk since he said something he regretted during that talk.
I put these in another thread here and after thinking about it I think if there is any interest at all they should have their own. Heads up these are not in support of Abiogenesis, these are not heavy on faith but chemistry.

I don't have the lectures in print but there some fallout for the Tour talk and this PDF was generated. Not a lot but something to look at.

@eladar saidAre you referring to the question regarding the congruency of evolution and religion? I think you dismissed it out of hand. Countless bible studies would disagree (with references).
What does social justice have to do with the origins of the Universe?
But I rest my case. Your question has been answered.
As to your question, it is nonsensical.

You are the one that brought up social justice. I am afraid you are too caught up in your personal opinion to have any true discussion. You think too much of yourself.
