2.4 How the Life Began: ChemistryVersion 1.3 August 2015                                             (Previous Version) These are the questions we ask in the introduction (Section 0.1.6 – paragraph 10): If god did not create life, where did it come from? How can all the complex processes required for just a single living cell come together all at once? isn't it like a storm in a junkyard producing a jumbo jet? Aren’t the chances of life so miniscule that is has to be a miracle? How can dead matter suddenly come to life? What is life anyway? We may refine these as we develop this Chapter. This chapter covers chemistry and biochemistry, in just enough detail so that we can work out what to believe and why, so that we can decide what to do, in our day to day life, and in the big decisions of life. We plan to look at how we know what we know under the following topic headings. For now, we have indicated below the questions we intend to address and the main topics we intend to cover.
This is the current summary of our conclusions in this area: Science is working out how life began: how simple chemical processes formed local cycles, copies of these formed, other molecules enclosed these processes to form living cells; how photosynthesis began (which made atmospheric oxygen), respiration captured energy for the cells, and how cells became more complex.
