I am not too big on science, but I know what spontaneous generation is, and saying that life came from a lightning strike and some gas kinda disproves thier agrument.


So you know, the primordial soup theory and spontaneous generation are two different things.

- Spontaneous Generation is the idea that, for instance, maggots can appear on rotting meat. Francisco Redi disproved this, if you care.

- The primordial soup theory states that chemically-laden soup way back when the earth was quite different was hit by lightning, producing enough amino acids to produce protocells. Amino acids produced by lightning has been proven in laboratory conditions. To be fair, you can make just about anything you want by shocking a chemical liquid with lightning.

On the topic of this movie, I got about 1/6 through it. I've seen all this before. They bend random scientific snippets, like the second law of thermodynamics into having different meanings.

I wonder what Steven Jay Gould thinks of this.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
