| | Origin of Life on Earth by Leslie E. Orgel |
 | | For the next two centuries, those ideas were subjected to increasingly severe criticism, and in the mid-19th century two important scientific advances set the stage for modern discussions of the origin of life. | | | We've been talking so much about the origin of life, but what happened after that? | | | It is also possible, though less likely, that some of the organic materials required for life did not originate at the earth's surface at all. |

| | Amazon.com: Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution: Books: Neil deGrasse Tyson,Donald Goldsmith |
| | Origins takes us from the beginning of space and time to the origins of life, all in a conversational manner, never glossing over the difficult bits or controversies, but explaining each in the light of science. | | | The title "Origins" threw me because I assumed it focused on Darwin's theory; however, this book is more than that, and combines elements of astrophysics, biology, and geology to describe how the universe was created, and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. | | | They also emphasize the scientific method and its inherent skepticism as the only way to understand such mysteries as dark matter, stellar formation, and the origin of life on Earth. |

| | Meaning of life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thus, the question "What is the origin of life?" has resulted in the Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution, which explain where the universe, sun, planets and human being came from, but which still do not account for the origin of the very first microscopic lifeform. | | | Søren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher of the 19th century, argued that life is full of absurdity and the individual must make his or her own values in an indifferent world. | | | Where scientists and philosophers converge on the quest for the meaning of life is an assumption that the mechanics of life (i.e., the universe) are determinable, thus the meaning of life may eventually be derived through our understanding of the mechanics of the universe in which we live, including the mechanics of the human body. |

| | First published on November 24, 1859, The Origin of Species (full title On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) by British naturalist Charles Darwin is one of the pivotal works in scientific history, and arguably the pre-eminent work in biology. | | | Charles Babbage believed God set up laws that operated to produce species, as a divine programmer, and Richard Owen followed Johannes Peter Müller in thinking that living matter had an "organising energy", a life-force that directed the growth of tissues and also determined the lifespan of the individual and of the species. | | | Darwin took it personally and from April to the end of the year made extensive revisions to the Origin, using the word "evolution" for the first time and adding a new chapter to refute Mivart. |

| | By offering the biblical account of life’s origin in a form that invites scientific testing, Christians make clear that the study of creation is science. | | | The lack of concordance between the naturalistic model for life’s origin and the scientific data causes one of the key pillars of the theory of evolution to crumble. | | | Animals and humans are composed of an immaterial entity—a soul, a life principle, a ground of sentience—and a body. |

| | Pigeons can be mated for life, and this is a great convenience to the fancier, for thus many races may be improved and kept true, though mingled in the same aviary; and this circumstance must have largely favoured the formation of new breeds. | | | In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist, reflecting on the mutual affinities of organic beings, on their embryological relations, their geographical distribution, geological succession, and other such facts, might come to the conclusion that species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. | | | Having kept nearly all the English breeds of the fowl alive, having bred and crossed them, and examined their skeletons, it appears to me almost certain that all are the descendants of the wild Indian fowl, Gallus bankiva; and this is the conclusion of Mr. |

| | Species relatedness can also be inferred from traditional sequence similarity trees based comparisons of the corresponding genes from different species.) As a final and rather obvious limitation of the "shared errors" argument, it should be clear that this argument does not bear on origin-of-life issues, which creationists commonly lump with evolution. | | | Such sequences can be studied in a variety of species; their relationship to their functional counterpart is obvious and quantitative (based on the number of sequence discrepancies between gene and pseudogene); and the subset of processed pseudogene can--with rare and easily recognizable exceptions--be assumed to have been totally functionless since the time of their origin. | | | In this argument, Woodmorappe falls in line with other Creationist arguments that invite us to discard evolution because of specific cases that violate a simplistic interpretation of evolution, and to ignore the vastly greater number of examples that support evolution. |
