From Access Research Network’s cllecti, now at YouTube.

Dr. Edward Peltzer Edward Peltzer explores the possibilities that

1. Life is the result of unguided chemical reactions and random processes
2. Life is the result of purposeful physical laws and initial conditions
3. The laws of nature and fine-tuning of the initial conditions are sufficient to account for the origin of life
4. natural processes alone prohibit the origin of life

After reviewing the evidence for each option Dr. Peltzer comes to the conclusion that chemical cross-reactions, including the Maillard reaction, would have prevented a purely naturalistic origin of life. His research thus supports the Law of Biogenesis, that life proceeds only from pre-existing life.

Following makes no sense: "His research thus supports the Law of Biogenesis, that life proceeds only from pre-existing life." If this "law" already has one exception, why not more? Sirius
But Pasteur said that already! These guys just kept arguing! http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/spontaneous-generation.html Andre
