Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiger" data-source="post: 117808" data-attributes="member: 353">The separation between evolution and the origin of life is recognised in terms of distinct scientific inquiries—abiogenesis focusing on life’s inception, and evolutionary theory on the diversification of life thereafter. However, the two are of course, naturally intertwined when considering life as a continuum; evolution presupposes a biological framework upon which it operates, and exploring that framework’s emergence helps to contextualise evolution’s earliest mechanisms. So, while these fields are technically separated, they complement each other in understanding life’s full arc.As for my ‘cosmic bet,’ I’d say it’s a cautious wager, given our current evidence. While some theorise life’s origins could involve cosmic contributions, like panspermia, I find the more immediate evidence of life’s terrestrial beginnings a less speculative grounding. Still, should new evidence emerge and if you have evidence against my view, feel free to post it.</blockquote>
