I’m still stuck on bacteria forming from acid rain on lifeless rocks. It requires oxygen to live but any oxygen in the air oxidizes the amino acids long before anything meaningful can arise. They’ve tried to test their theory already, you simultaneously need no oxygen for the acids to form without being oxidized under the extreme conditions, but also need the oxygen for it to survive once formed. Evolutionary theory is riddled with contradictions like this, so just focus on the first one they make. I guess that could be saying that everything came from nothing in the Big Bang, but most don’t care about that contradiction IME.

“In the beginning God...” is a less religious phrase than “in the beginning rocks...”
