how do you explain the origin of life?

The greatest difficulty of the Darwinian evolution model is the most obvious- How do you get life from non-life? In the Christian worldview project we are working on, Rich Melheim puts it this way.

“One cannot speak of the origin of life. Today one must speak of the origins of life. The carbonaceous deposits in the oldest known rocks on the planet suggest that life appeared shortly after the earth cooled, then disappeared, then arose again, then disappeared in a series of multiple spontaneous eruptions and mass extinction events. Recently, science has made it disturbingly clear that the conditions on earth were hostile to life arising at each of those times. The chemicals for the “primordial soup” did not exist for the recipe and the UV radiation bombarding the earth would have killed off anything organizing into strands of life without some thing or some one “hovering over” the whole experiment. That life would arise by chance even once is mathematically improbable. That it would arise again and again in absolutely hostile conditions is cause for great skepticism.”

The “primordial soup” was such a slam dunk theory, that scientists have been quite slow in taking it out of high school and university textbooks now that it has shown to be a dead end for first life. Now scientists are looking to outer space and other planets to try to explain where life comes from. Problem is this just delays the inevitable question, “How did life originate?” All the evidence points to advanced life only on earth. If life did originate on other planets or heavenly bodies the question will be the same regardless if it is Earth, Mars, or a moon of Jupiter, “How do you get life from non-life?”
