“Why Does Life Even Occur?” You would think, given the typical science reporting, that evolutionists have the origin and development of life figured out. It’s not even close. Listen to this honest acknowledgment by Nigel Goldenfeld, director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute for Universal Biology, in an interview in Quanta Magazine: If you think about the physical world, it is not at all obvious why you don’t just make more dead stuff.
