The Building Blocks Of Life
I told y'all years ago on AB (oh what quarrels we had on R.&S.) that the life on Earth had its origins 'out there', & that Dawkins & his followers were fools believing that life began here as a 'happy accident'.

You might note that my original answer was not in any way specific as to any particular poster. The reply was siezed upon and used, not for the first time by this poster and not confined to me, as a chance to show contrived sensitivity that only demonstrated poor comprehension. The reasons for your own ham fisted interventions are a mystery.
Atheist; Q. // Khandro, why do you dislike Dawkins so much?//
A. I don't mind, & mostly even respect, other people's (well argued) beliefs, but this man has made a career out of poisoning young people's minds while becoming a millionaire out of the process.
I have said many times (see above) my reason for thinking him wrong, but no one seems to say why they think he is right.
As to my OP, if as he posits, the idea that all life on Earth began here by the ridiculous theory that a few chemicals in an accidental configuration started it, then the findings from the Japanese space agency that amino acids exist outside our planet show that all options as to the origins of life here are wide open & he is, as I've always maintained, WRONG.

O.G. //Even if it did start first elsewhere, a few chemicals in an accidental configuration will still have started it wherever it was. So hardly that wrong.//
How does that work? - how does that produce the dynamic life force evident throughout all nature, how does that produce consciencousnes, and the even bigger question: WHY?

//Do you have any thoughts on my postulation that consciousness might simply be a by product of evolution?//
If I had an answer to that I'd be heading off the Stockholm to collect my Nobel Prize.
Why the understanding of consciousness is such a challenge, perhaps the greatest, is that we can't step outside of it to study it.

Khandro, firstly Einstein wasn't religious, secondly Richard Dawkins is an expert in his field and rather than poison young minds, educates; thirdly the colours (and smells) of flowers do attract insects, and lastly your argument amounts to no more than 'I don’t know how it happened so something of which I have no knowledge whatsoever and no evidence for, must have been responsible - which is no argument at all.
