/sci/ - Science & Math

I'm having trouble with something. The guys over on /pol/ are always talking about how medicine/science is fake (today it's the Big Bang that's fake, or whatever), because let's be honest, it has been a tough few years for science in terms of reputation/credibility, whether that's warranted or not.

So the Big Bang stuff recently got me thinking:
How does a scientist accept the "primordial soup" explanation of the creation of life? It seems to me to be more of a science fiction meme at this point and doesn't seem like a "working" theory that a scientist would like.

Why can't I make life using an appliance in my kitchen? In other words, why hasn't it been replicated? Sounds pretty simply to match the conditions for us at this point...

What do you think? Are we going with panspermia now, or what? I'm thinking that, since they are making movies about it. But then, where did that life come from?
