The origin of life is one of the most important topics not just in science but also in religion and philosophy. It gets to the hart of what and who we are, meaning that getting the right answer is of great importance.
From a religious perspective and particularly the monotheistic religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, God created life in general as well as man kind. Now looking at it from an atheistic and naturalistic perspective life is assumed to have arisen by totally natural process. The term for this naturalistic concept is abiogenesis.
So can an objective scientific look at both possibilities tell us which view is the correct view of the origin of life? There is a principle of thermodynamics tells us how applying energy to a system affects the entropy of that that system. It can be stated in two statements:
If energy is applied to a system in a manner more ordered than that system’s degree of order then it increases the system’s order decreasing the entropy of that system.
If energy is applied to a system in a manner more disordered than that system’s degree of disorder then it increases the system’s disorder increasing the entropy of that system.
The above video shows that when this principle is applied to the problem of the origin of life the results show that naturalistic abiogenesis is a thermodynamic impossibility. It also shows that the correct theory of the origin of life is an intelligence from outside our universe that would by definition be God.
