Okay guys so I've been thinking a lot about different religious views and origin of life.
It doesn't seem far fetched that the first Prokaryotes could be the product of a "perfect storm" like series of abiotic events. I mean after all in 1953 Stanley Miller was able to show us that electrical discharges are able to stimulate reactions that cause the creation of organic compounds. All signs point to the conclusion that life is able to occur naturally, granted their are mysteries to be solved. For example; the limitations of the electron microscope limit our understanding of how Chaperonin is able to fold amino acids into proteins, like chaperonin itself. But I'll leave that one for minds greater then my own. What I'm getting to is this, life can not be without energy. Now assuming the endosymbiotic theory is correct, which I do, all life on earth directly related to the first simple ass single-celled prokaryotic organism. Hell, seeing is believing! Mitochondria might as well be their own prokaryotic cells.
Okay so now that I'm done with the biology, go out side and look up. Assuming it's day you see some ethereal, other worldly bright light which is responsible for most the energy on earth. Assuming it's night, you see hundreds of similar entities much father away. This is the single most important ingredient to life.
What is this? The sun, a star? What the fuck is a star? Sure people will tell you their observations and measurements, but lets face it, no one has any fucking clue. A star is a massive awe-inspiring sphere of plasma at the center of out solar system which contains the potential to contain any element in the universe. It goes trough physical stages, can even turn into the most mysterious thing in the universe, something that evades our natural senses, a black hole. Hell, scientist even say they are most likely responsible for creating planets like earth!
So what I'm saying is, forget the huge cults, forget spirits, and just look up at the sky. A star holds more secrets to the creation of life then any book I can think of.
