Careful Thought

I’m continually amazed at the lengths people will go to avoid seeing the hand of God.  Here’s a tidbit from the UK Telegraph:

Smoggy skies ‘created life on Earth’

Hazy, smoggy skies on baby Earth could have provided the chemical building blocks of the very first life on our planet, according to a study of one of Saturn’s moons.

Primordial Earth likely had a layer of atmospheric haze, similar to the one currently on the moon Titan, that may have served as the principal reservoir of life’s building blocks, according to the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The researcher [sic] calculate that Earth could have produced more than 100 million tons of aerosols each year, and thus these organic chemicals in the haze could have served as the primary ingredients for primitive life.

According to co-author Melissa Trainer “As these particles settled out of the skies, they would have provided a global source of food for living organisms. We found that you can make a lot of organic material virtually out of thin air.“

Oh yeah?  Let’s see you try.  Maybe they stumbled onto the mechanism that God used to create life and maybe they’re whistling in the dark.
