God explains the appearance of life

From Wikidebates
This argument is used in the debate : Does God exist?.

Summary 

We know that life exists, but we don't know how to explain the transition from inert to living. We have never been able to reconstitute such a transition in the laboratory. What's more, the biological combinations required for life to emerge successfully from the "primordial soup" are highly complex and highly improbable. Cf. Fred Hoyle

Quotes 

« Did you know that science still can't explain or even define what life is, what its essence is, or where it comes from? What is it that "breathes" life into our cells, and where does life go when it "leaves" our bodies for good? Life is a given. We're forced to admit it, and everyone agrees. Given by whom? »
