These experiments were conducted by reacting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) with hydrogen cyanide (HCN), in the presence of ultraviolet light and a Cu(1+) ↔ Cu(2+) photo redox catalyst [1]. It has been furthered prophesied , that if this study stands up to scrutiny, it will be hailed as one of the greatest accomplishments of our time.
In another recent study, researchers at Georgia Tech and the Scripps Research Institute in California, through their affiliation with the National Science Foundation and NASA, showed that reacting an alpha- hydroxy acid with an alpha-amino acid, produces depsipeptides up to 10 units long [2].
All I have to say about this is, SO WHAT ? It has been thoroughly established that the formation of amino acids, nucleic acids, etc., by any process, is a far cry from producing proteins, RNA, DNA, etc.. Hence, how ridiculous is it to claim that the work reported in reference [1], should be “hailed as one of the greatest achievements of our time�
All of this is no more significant that the earlier works of Urey, Miller, Fox and others in the 1950s –1960s, which has already been debunked by Boudreaux and De Massa in 2010 [3].
It never ceases to amaze me, that supposedly intelligent scientists, do actually believe that the unique complexity found in proteins, DNA, RNA, cells, could have spontaneously been accomplished from the basic building blocks of these intelligently designed biomolecules.
Let us not forget what Paul has said about such people: “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images (i.e. evolution)…†Romans 1:21-23.
