1.
If you put a frog in a blender you would have all the essential
proteins for life and complete cells that are more complex than the pre-life
molecules described by current abiogenesis theory. This organic frog soup
thus provides an example of a more evolved yet state in the origin of
life.
Answer True or False:
2. In its very simplest form, life is:
A) An assemblage of specific proteins and organic
compounds.
B) a dynamic system of multiple interdependent
subsystems.
Answer A or B:
3. Observation of change and adaptation in living organisms provides evidence that non-living matter transformed itself into living
organisms.
Answer True or False:
4. Life originated:
A) In pools of organic slime energized by lightning.
B) In undersea thermal vents.
C) By the seeding of organic materials when comets
collided with the earth.
D) None of the above or no single answer.
Answer A, B, C or D:
5. Probability theory demonstrates that life is
likely to occur naturally IF given enough time.
Answer True or False:
6. The spontaneous generation of life from
non-living matter is:
A) Supported by scientific observation and evidence
from laboratory experiments.
B) Never observed or fully explained but is a necessary
assumption to support a presupposition that life arose naturally and was not created by an outside intelligence or
causal agent.
