11	So how does Evolution explain this? Theory #1 – Random chance Theory #2 – Chemical affinity (Dean Kenyon) Theory #3 – Seeding from space Theory #4 – RNA world Theory #5 – Vents in the ocean Theory #6 – Life from clay Origin of Life scientists admit: THEY DO NOT KNOW !
12	Origin of Life “The simplest living cell could not have arisen by chance.”
13	The Truth About Origins of Life “More than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than to its solution.”
14	Origin of Life - Impossible “The chances that life just occurred are about as unlikely as a typhoon blowing through a junkyard and constructing a Boeing 747.” Chandra Wickramasinghe, “Threats on Life of Controversial Astronomer,” New Scientists, 1982, p. 140.
