In trying to find the elements necessary for the origin of life, another question of importance is "what was the last universal original ancestor of life?"A 3.8-billion-year-old organism was… Read More

Is this the only way that life could have originated?Intelligent design advocates make the case that the universe is finely tuned, so much so that if you changed some small feature, the grav… Read More

One problem that Creationism has (among many) is that it is a snapshot of the state of the Universe. By that I mean that any changes to the underlying structure cannot be made because time a… Read More
