Why have scientists found it impossible to create life? What's holding it back? If creating life is impossible for us, does that imply that Earth was deliberately seeded?

There appears to be indeed some "irreducible complexity" in modern prokaryotes. We may actually live in a post apocalyptic world, after an apocalypse that happened some 4 billion years ago. And the Earth was a literally a paradise in the beginning, with no viruses and eukaryotic monstrosities.

It's extremely easy to 'create life' by copying existing templates. We've been cloning sheep since the 90s, and we've been swapping bacterial genomes and cells since the 70s.

More recently, Craig Venter claims to have synthesized a genome with only 473 genes.

https://www.nature.com/news/minimal-cell-raises-stakes-in-race-to-harness-synthetic-life-1.19633

Whether or not this is new life is debatable. While the organism is new, all the genes are just copy-pasted from existing organisms.

The biggest problem with creating truly new life is understanding how proteins fold, and then what functions they perform.

The closest we've got to truly new life is designed 'genome encapsulating protein nanocages' which are proto-viruses that still need human assistance for replication.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5927965

Viral proteins are extremely complex. 1 protein can perform 10 functions, while human designed proteins can barely perform 1 function properly.

We can start churning out truly new lifeforms only once we solve the protein design and enzyne design problems.

Oh, that's because of lagging protein synthesis technology.

You can create a simple virus with nothing but DNA and protein.

You can chemically synthesize DNA of any length, but you can only reliably synthesize proteins that are 60-70 amino acids long.

Viral proteins can be 1000+ amino acids long, and we can't do that just yet. Typically we 'hijack' the metabolism of E. coli to synthesize large proteins, but thats obviously not abiotic.

Why do people use the word "design" when referring to things that they believe came about from evolution?

There is no explanation currently for the emergence of thermodynamics or chemistry. We know about them, we do not how they emerge.

You can open up any physics book or paper on the subject and you won't find that someone that positions it in any other way. No physicists would ever claim to know how such a process emerges.

OP, you absolutely must study the origin of life and paleontology in order to have even a slightly deep understanding of what life is. Synthetic life is not possible at the current technology level, that is the answer to your questions. Maybe Earth was seeded, maybe not.

I mean, if you want to push the goal post SOOO far back and say there's no grand unifying theory yet, I suppose this nonsense statement would not be 100% wrong, just laughable. Your statement before this saying both of those are not well understood, however, is still just pure and outright idiocy. Moving the goal post does not change that.

These are well understood processes that emerge from consistent rules and laws in physics. We don't know exactly why the universe's laws were shaped as they were, but even if we did know how life emerged on earth sufficiently enough to satisfy the questions posed in this thread, these questions about reality itself would still remain. So it's entirely irrelevant and you're just splitting hairs to make it sound like you're not a moron.

We can understand how a process emerges without needing to understand the fundamental precursor tenants of reality itself.

>This was so stupid it deserved to be highlighted just for the sake of it being so stupid.

Um yes... if you're mimicking patterns in nature you're not "solving" a "design" problem. The Wright brothers were not solving a design problem via mimicking nature with their airplane because they were not actually practicing the concept of design: it was aimless trial and error which is the opposite of design. There was no foresight planning involved because they did not understand how lift works.

Solving a design problem necessitates you already have a design, which we don't, and must fix the associated problems with that design. Hence, you saying solving the design problems associated with creating biological life necessitates you're just copying nature at this point, which would not make sense as evolution does not produce designs.

Maybe you meant to say once we solve some underlying issues with protein folding we can start churning out life.

It's entirely possible there was more than one origin of life on earth.
Consider viruses. OK, technically they don't count as "life".
But they are reasonably complex, and probably arose after at least one abiogenesis event.
Where did they come from? I'm guessing a second, highly improbable event occurring because a zillion metaphorical monkeys sat down a a zillion hypothetical typewriters.

You don't even have a remotely plausible description of "pre cellular" life (rofl whatever that means, might as well say they were leprechauns) yet you somehow know it can't leave traces of its existence? Please. You pulled this straight out of your ass.

Bacteria leave fossil evidence; you can't form a valid reason to think bacteria "precursors" would not be able to do the same if you can't even describe what "they" were. I can't form a valid reason to think "they" would be able to either. It's simply a gap in the fossil record, nothing more. However, you are FORCED to invent the excuse your imaginary leprechauns/pre-cellular life was "incapable" of leaving fossils, all to explain this gap in the fossil record to up hold your narrative. It's a made up excuse, nothing more.

Unexplainable?
We have several possible explanations, we just don't have enough observations/data to narrow it down.

And why not several? Earth has been here 4.6 billion years, the oceans about 4 billion and the earliest signs of life date to over 3.7 billion years ago. That means life only took 300 million years get here, and we've had oceans for another 3300 million years since.

Prove that they should have left fossil evidence. We aren't talking about the loch ness monster which mythically speaking is 20 feet long. We are talking about something microscopic with no bones or skin or feathers or scales to leave fossils with.

>Humans can't do it so it must be impossible.
So I guess planets, stars, etc must be impossible too since we can't just whip one up in a lab eh? Fucking retard. What is it in life that made you so arrogant to think that in the tiny fraction of a percent of human history in which the proper scientific method has existed that we suddenly know everything now and should be able to just do everything and anything we want and solve any mystery we want in a timescale to satisfy you?

If you want some resources on the subject, try the "Hidden Hand interview", "The Law of One" material, and Lloyd Pye's e-book "Everything You Know is Wrong" along with his Youtube presentations. They give explanations relating to where life on Earth came from, and what Earth and reality itself generally is. You can judge the information for yourself, of course. I'm personally into spirituality and came across these in my past, and they inform my current views on the subject. Essentially, I believe that there is firstly One Infinite Consciousness which experiences everything in reality from a plurality of perspectives, and there are also lower-level entities which go on to create their own forms of life and let them evolve on their own into a realization of their underlying nature. On Earth, life was seeded here, but then subsequently allowed to grow and also genetically modified at times. Homo sapiens are a genetic modification by a group the Sumerians knew as the "Annunaki". Therefore "God" (if you want to call it that) does exist, but it's a pantheistic conception which includes your own eternal consciousness within it, rather than being something which created you entirely, and there are also smaller-scale intelligent deities who create and modify their own lifeforms, such as the homo sapiens avatar you are presently dwelling inside. That's what I believe at the present moment.

Of course they're impossible for us, nitwit, because we lack the resources.
Creating life on the other hand should be well within our means because we can very easily replicate the conditions of precambrian Earth and we possess the necessary building blocks. It is surprising that it hasn't happened because it theoretically should be very easy.

Sure, and thanks for the receptivity. While it's too much too explain in a single post, you should essentially see all of reality as being a singular, unified consciousness which is experiencing itself through a specific form of entity. The sun, our planet, and every form of entity on here are consciousness in the guise of a particular vessel. Each had their own function within a grand "play" or "game", which it aims to orchestrate. Our Sun is not an unsentient ball of gases, it is itself an intelligent creator. And the Earth is too, albeit sub-ordinate to the Sun. Just as the Sun eventually allows for the Earth to come into itself, so does the Earth eventually and gradually allow for the conditions of life to flourish on itself. It doesn't create life directly, but the Earth is apparently a sentient organism which intentionally fosters the development of sentient life on itself, which could be considered it's "children", in the same way that the planets of the solar system could be considered those of the sun's. The species of Earth are essentially a microcosm of the Earth's macrocosm, extensions from it rather than separate to it. And we ourselves now use our minds to bring further creation into existence - just as our physical vessels were cultivated into existence by the former.

I'm not explaining myself too well, and that's because I don't have a great memory of what I've read thus far. It's all a bit disorganized in my head. So instead of confusing you further, try reading these links here:

I hope these help you. Try and see whether the information makes sense to you, and see if you can incorporate any of it into your existing worldview. Take care anon.

because even the minimally complex self replicating system is ridiculously complex. it doesn't mean it can't have happened by chance though. given enough time every event that is physically possible will occur, it doesn't matter how improbable it is.

It may also require an inordinate amount of time even if the environment can easily be replicated. Scientists might have to spend a few hundred or thousand years running that experiment for anything to come of it, maybe even more. Just because life began a geological instant after stable volumes of water were available doesn't mean it happened in a timescale we can easily run an experiment for. After all a geological instant can be many thousands of years long or even longer, or maybe there's something lacking in the artificial environment we don't know about yet.

You almost hooked me with this bait. Bravo. I was seriously about to give a real response.

>I thought the theory is that it only happened once
"across the whole planet" was meant to say that the experimental vessel was the size of the planet, not that it happened more than once
