RE: Abiogenesis and the search for life beyond Earth.
Abiogenesis is an absurdity. Unfortunately, its adherents are in denial of the biological complexities involved for even the simplest life-form. Statistically, the odds are one in ten followed with over 29,000 zeros of random-chance being able to create a biological life-form with the ability to pro-create (over fifty zeros is impossible). Hence, abiogenesis remains an absurdity.
The alternative? Of course, supernatural creation by a Creator with the ability to create stuff from nothing and to be able to perfectly code up to 3.2 billion of nucleotide combinations of one of the resultant several millions of DNA molecules necessary to permit the newly created critter to survive and procreate. Dittos for creating the immensely complex DNA support structure known as a cell including the mRNA and the mitochondria whilst the DNA molecule is used to create all of the super-complex proteins necessary for cell survival. Thus, abiogenesis is an absurdity since random-chance is a non-entity.
Mighty fine analyses. I concur that our ideas of intelligent life are arrogant and self-serving. On Earth, what gives us the right to see other than human animals as unintelligent because they don't meet human animal standards? Also, sentience itself is the reason we should see them as having interests equal to ours, rather than subordinating them to us: human supremacy.
