What are the "rules" for chemistry that prevent abiogenesis
My position all along has been that there are no chemical/physical rules to facilitate abiogenesis.
The rules that we know about (oxygen bonds to hydrogen, mercury binds to sulfur) are woefully insufficient to create highly-complex, symmetrical, sexual (different organisms having functionally matched parts), self-replicating machines.
It does not matter how much time you add to the equation, these types of machines will not form without an external intelligence acting on them.
To believe this is simply a desperate (and perhaps subconscious) attempt to avoid the public ridicule or personal shame associated with accepting the reasonable logic that the Bible presents for creation.
We who are defending logic and reason must have the backbone to stand up and overcome our fears.
You asked what rules prevent abiogenesis. I ask you, what rules facilitate it? Where is this powerful, complex sequence of rules that builds highly-complex, symmetrical, sexual, self-replicating machines?
Why? What are the limitations to the formation of DNA/RNA or replicating proteins?
I would have to believe that, if you are willing to engage in a discussion of this type, that you would have some understanding of the DNA replication process (

This process requires so much perfectly-tuned machinery that it's astonishing to believe it built itself. We really must return some sanity to science that has been hijacked by those with strong and disgusting agendas.
We also must consider DNA itself. Do you honestly believe it formed by itself? Do you believe that a sequence of rules exist undiscovered in chemistry that build this incredible structure?
Forgive me, but I have to tell the truth. It is this kind of religious fanaticism (abiogenesis) that is keeping us in the dark ages.
