"Researchers at Cornell University published a study last week in which they claim that clay helped life spontaneously arise from non-life millions of years ago.
In the statement, the researchers suggest clay was a key ingredient when—according to the university—life spontaneously emerged from non-life in earth’s early years.
“We propose that in early geological history clay hydrogel provided a confinement function for biomolecules and biochemical reactions,” said Dan Luo, a professor at Cornell.
The statement from CornelThursday, scientists affiliated with Cornell University released a statement detailing new research findings regarding the initial development of life—also known as abiogenesis. It further suggests that, “over billions of years,” clay could have “confined and protected” certain chemical processes, much like cell membranes do today. Then, the protected chemicals “could have carried out the complex reactions that formed proteins, DNA and eventually all the machinery that makes a living cell work.”
For evolutionists, life’s origin is a difficult topic, since—despite countless attempts—abiogenesis has never been replicated; nor has it been observed in nature. Thus, many scientists speculate that life somehow arose in a primordial ocean, perhaps due to input from lightning or a volcanic vent." CN
1) "Could" doesn't count as SCIENCE......
2) Was clay involved in some way? Well, not as they think---but..... And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, Genesis 2:7
