The problem is that to arrive at this theory we need to set aside several well proven natural laws as well as a number of very probable theories. In other words, true science does not support the above theory for the beginning of life. For example:

* Mankind has long understood, as Aristotle said, that "nothing comes from nothing." Today we call it the theory of First Cause. That is, every event must have a cause, and every cause can be traced back to an original First Cause.

* Likewise, we have never (really, never!) seen an event on earth contradict the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (without input, systems tend toward chaos). Accordingly, we should expect things to degenerate into their most chaotic state, ie. decay, not combine into more and more complex organisms.

* Information theory tells us that only an intelligence can increase the information within a system. A single strand of DNA alone contains the equivalent of many thousands of books…all recorded in a highly intelligible and efficient manner.

* Living cells have large numbers of components with irreducible complexity. This is to say that they could not have developed over time, but must have appeared fully developed and fully integrated into the host organism. A process that evolution cannot explain.

* Probability analysis tells us that there has not been enough time (even in the 15 billion years allotted for the universe) for the required degrees of luck to have occurred.
