Description
This video briefly mentions two competing theories for how life started on Earth, and then discusses a new thesis of abiogenesis, which describes how life arose from non-life. The idea is based on mathematics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and already has some empirical evidence behind it.
Discussion Questions
- What is the Panspermia hypothesis? What about Primordial Soup?
- What is the new hypothesis being proposed? How is the Second Law of Thermodynamics involved?
- Do you think life in the universe is rare or everywhere?
- Without conclusive proof that life started via natural causes, is it more reasonable to believe that it did or that God caused it? or maybe some other option?
