The most damning quote I have read in a long time for abiogenesis:
> 
> >Origins of life research initially focused on the production of amino acids from organic materials already present on the planet. However, further research showed that Earth's atmospheric conditions consisted mainly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water. Shock-heating experiments and calculations eventually proved that synthesis of organic molecules necessary for amino acid production will not occur in this type of environment.

> Now they are grasping at straws.-The grasping has gone on for years. Pan-spermia only removes the problem from Earth to outer space. Some self-replicating RNA has been spawned in labs, but that is just intelligent design in sheeps' clothing.
