Abiogenesis
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is there already evidence for life forming from inanimate matter?
There are people who say it’s possible to create an amino acid molecule in space by combining it with a hydrogen molecule, and there’s also a claim that this can happen from some kind of dust—I don’t remember which kind right now!?
Answer
I don’t know.
Discussion on Answer
I have no idea.
I’m really not subscribed. Why would I be subscribed? By the way, I also don’t work in the anthropology of Aboriginal tribes, and I’m not subscribed to journals in that fascinating field either.
Hello, thank you for the reply.
Is it possible at all?
Is the Rabbi not subscribed to journals in order to keep up to date?
