INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

This is not a statement against abiogenesis itself. It is not saying that it is impossible or even wrong. It is just that it cannot be considered scientific. The following articles are reasons why it cannot be considered a scientific concept. As a result, abiogenesis has no place in a public-school science class. Not because it runs afoul of any religious beliefs but simply because it does not qualify as science. This series will address 10 Pacific reasons for abiogenesis cannot be considered science.

  • Abiogenesis is an atheistic presupposition.
  • It is a necessity of a naturalistic origin.
  • No alternative is allowed.
  • The only evidence for abiogenesis is the assumption that it had to have happened.
  • Information theory is a problem for abiogenesis.
  • Thermodynamics is a problem for abiogenesis.
  • Abiogenesis is unobservable.
  • Abiogenesis is contrary to actual observation.
  • Abiogenesis is unrepeatable.
  • Abiogenesis is untestable.

Abiogenesis does not qualify as science largely because it does not meet any of the main qualifications to be considered science. It is not based on observation, in fact, it is contrary to observation. It is not repeatable because if it happened it is a one-off event in the past for which there is no actual information. Ultimately it doesn't qualify as science because it is fundamentally untestable. Not only because it cannot be observed but because even if it can be proven impossible here on Earth it can always be moved to some distant place and time that makes testing it impossible.
