On the origin of life: chance or creation?

The question of the origin of life on earth clearly has deep theological significance. If life has originated as a chemical fluke in, as Darwin believed, 'a warm, little pond', with all sorts of ammonia and phosphor salts, light, heat, sparks, etc. present, so that a protein was chemically formed, ready to undergo still more complex changes' (unquote) then in the words of Stephen Hawking, "What need for a creator?"

Since Darwin 's primitive metaphor science has advanced spectacularly, but after more than half a century of intense laboratory studies on the 'origin of life' from a chemical soup it is time to throw in the towel. Despite many 'glimpses of hope' all the evidence (discussed in chapter 32 and chapter 33) shows that the endeavor is hopeless: the origin of life is unknowable.

Only one thing is certain: life – the first living cell - could not have originated from a happy combination of inert chemicals in the primordial soup of a little pond. Created by God then? Unprovable, but by exclusion of alternatives the only logical option.
