Power behind primordial soup discovered<\/a><\/h2>\n

University of Leeds – Apr 4, 2013<\/p>\n

Researchers at the University of Leeds may have solved a key puzzle about how objects from space could have kindled life on Earth.<\/p>\n

While it is generally accepted that some important ingredients for life came from meteorites bombarding the early Earth, scientists have not been able to explain how that inanimate rock transformed into the building blocks of life.<\/p>\n

This new study shows how a chemical, similar to one now found in all living cells and vital for generating the energy that makes something alive, could have been created when meteorites containing phosphorus minerals landed in hot, acidic pools of liquids around volcanoes, which were likely to have been common across the early Earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mystery of how living organisms sprung out of lifeless rock has long puzzled scientists, but we think that the unusual phosphorus chemicals we found could be a precursor to the batteries that now power all life on Earth. But the fact that it developed simply, in conditions similar to the early Earth, suggests this could be the missing link between geology and biology,\u201d said Dr Terry Kee, from the University\u2019s School of Chemistry, who led the research.

Now then, what is the source of the minerals and acidic pools?<\/div>\n
\n
10167<\/sup> billion years<\/div>\n
\n
Science by accident, chance and chaos<\/a><\/div>\n
…Suppose you threw a protein together at chance—and here we even allow a ten percent error, you’re allowing to get it wrong among ten percent of the proteins—but still chance comes out to ten minus two-hundred-and forty-fourth power. Now the scientists are always saying if you wait for a long enough time, even something very unlikely can happen; but here we have a calculation of how long you’d have to wait, according to mathematics and the probability theory, and even if you assume an unrealistically high rate of forming proteins at random, still you’d have to wait, according to this, ten to the hundred-and-sixty-seventh power billion years. …Mathematics shows that chance alone would never begin to produce the things that go into life. more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

excerpt from lecture on Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101<\/em>, Chapter 16, Text 8<\/a>, Hawaii, February 4, 1975:<\/p>\n

Recently there is a book “Chemical Evolution.” He wants to prove it, that by combination of chemicals the life has come in. That is not the fact. The fact is: life has come from life. You cannot manufacture life by combination of chemical. Chemical comes from life. In our book, “Life Comes From Life”, I have given this reason, that even though you think that chemical combination brings the living force, but the chemical is coming from life. Just like citric acid. The citric acid we see practically. There is a tree, lemon tree. This is life. The lemon tree is life. Jalaj\u0101 nava-lak\u1e63\u0101\u1e47i sth\u0101var\u0101\u1e25<\/em>. They are sth\u0101vara<\/em> life, non-moving life, but it is life. So from an insignificant lemon tree, tons of citric acid is coming. You have got experience. This lemon means citric acid. This chemical is coming from life. Without the tree, you cannot get this chemical, citric acid. From… Sometimes you have got experience. The perspiration is water, is coming from my body. The body is active so long I am there. So how you can say the chemical is coming from matter? No. Chemical is coming from life. Even if you accept that life is combination of chemicals, then chemical also coming from life.<\/p>\n

So, therefore, life is the original source of everything, both matter and life. The body is coming from life, and the soul is coming from life, the supreme life, K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a says, mamaiv\u0101\u1e41\u015bo j\u012bva-bh\u016bta\u1e25<\/em>: [Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101<\/em> 15.7<\/a>] “This living entity, they are part and parcel of Me.” So K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is the supreme life. Therefore He says, aha\u1e41 sarvasya prabhavo matta\u1e25 sarva\u1e41 pravartate<\/em> [Bg. 10.8<\/a>: “I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.”]. So K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is the source of both life and matter. There are two energies. One is superior energy; another, it is inferior energy. The material elements, they are inferior energy, and the superior energy—j\u012bva-bh\u016bt\u0101\u1e41 mah\u0101-b\u0101ho yayeda\u1e41 dh\u0101ryate jagat<\/em> [Bg. 7.5<\/a>]. So how you can say jagad \u0101hur an\u012b\u015bvaram<\/em> [Bg. 16.8<\/a>]? How you can say that without the control of the Supreme Lord this material world has come into being? There is no sufficient reasoning.<\/p>\n

They say because they are not very intelligent. Therefore K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a says, m\u016b\u1e0dha<\/em> [fools]. M\u016b\u1e0dha<\/em>. That is stated in the Seventh Chapter. Na m\u0101\u1e41 du\u1e63k\u1e5btino m\u016b\u1e0dh\u0101\u1e25 prapadyante nar\u0101dham\u0101\u1e25<\/em> [Bg. 7.15<\/a>]. Those who are du\u1e63k\u1e5btina… Du\u1e63k\u1e5btina<\/em> means very intelligent, but the intelligence is being misused in mischief-mongering. They are called du\u1e63k\u1e5btina. K\u1e5bti. K\u1e5bti<\/em> means very nice brain, but du\u1e63k\u1e5bti<\/em>—the brain is used for creating misgivings. They will explain like that. But we should be very much careful not to become their victim. So although the atheists say there is no God, jagad \u0101hur an\u012b\u015bvaram<\/em> [Bg. 16.8<\/a>], but we are convinced that God is the origin-—janm\u0101dy asya yata\u1e25<\/em> [\u015ar\u012bmad-Bhagavatam<\/em> 1.1.1<\/a>]—of both matter and spirit. So aparaspara-sambh\u016btam<\/em>, they simply explain that it is the result of combination only.<\/p>\n

Just like acid and alkaline combine together. Just like soap. Soap is combination of acid and alkaline. The caustic soda is alkaline, and the fat is acid. So you mix this acid and alkaline—there is another product. This is chemical science. So the acid and alkaline, they also come from the, I mean to say, life. Or if it does not come from the life, the product is made by another life. Acid and alkaline does not mix together. Unless the chemist or the soap-maker brings them together and mixes, the soap does not come. So how you can say that the chemical combination is the source of life? No, that is not possible. This is right conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
