This interesting excerpt is enlightening- from 'Creation' magazine- Huff and Bluff by Carl Wieland and Jonathan Sarfati
'Well-known physicist Paul Davies says in a recent Nature Article that 'the origin of life remains one of the great outstanding mysteries of science'. What he means, is the naturalistic origin of life - i.e. how chemicals could have become living cells without supernatural design.
Addressing what he calls the 'burning question of astrobiology' (It incorporates the discipline of exobiology-the study of life outside of the earth-which has as yet no subject material to study.), he lists only two possible alternatives: 'Was the origin of known life a freak accident, or the expected outcome of intrinsically bio-friendly laws of physics?' Creation is excluded from the start.
The 'freak accident' hypothesis is unattractive, given the astonishing odds of just one of the many long-chain molecules of life assembling itself in the right sequence by chance. (Natural selection is of no help, obviously, until one already has a replicating entity.) Sir Fred Hoyle famously said that it would be like having the solar system packed shoulder-to-should with blind men shuffling Rubik's Cubes, and having them all hit upon the solution by chance - at the very same time. (Hoyle., F., The big bang in astronomy, New Scientist 92 [1981]).
As Paul Davies wrote, 'there is no known law of physics able to create information form nothing. (Davies, P., Life force, New Scientist 163 [1999]). So given that Davies rejects the God of the Bible and hence miraculous creation, what does he cling to as a possible future solution? The vague idea (without specifics) that 'quantum mechanics' will somehow 'solve the riddle of life'. But no matter how sophisticated the language, this is nothing but the purest bluff and bluster.
'One of us (JS) has a Ph.D. heavily involving quantum mechanics (QM). In reality, everything known about QM actually reinforces Davies' pessimism about finding a non-creation explanation for life - QM explains the chemical reactions which we already know move away from life, relentlessly degrading it. His speculative 'quantum leap' is really a massive 'quantum bluff'.
