Scientists in a lab used a powerful laser to re-create what might have been the original spark of life on Earth.

The researchers zapped clay and a chemical soup with the laser to simulate the energy of a speeding asteroid smashing into the planet.

They ended up creating what can be considered crucial pieces of the building blocks of life.

I thought something similar was done in a lab 15 years ago.

Damn that's pretty cool that this may be the way that God created us.

So does God throw asteroids or shoot lasers?

It was first done in the 50's or 60's.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states "energy can be neither created nor destroyed". So where did the energy that drove all theses processes come from atheists?

The findings do not prove that this is how life started on Earth about 4 billion years ago



This article loses all credibility because the Earth is only around 4000 years old.

On a phone, did they generate amino acids or nucleotides or what?

The laser-zapping produced all four chemical bases needed to make RNA, a simpler relative of DNA, the blueprint of life.



if this is all that's needed to create the complete building blocks of life - there's probably a lot of life all over the universe
