First life--what did it look like? When did it appear? And how did it get here?Imagine primordial Earth, a churning cauldron of liquefied rock. Steaming, seething--a vast wasteland, inhospitable to life. Yet somehow first life appeared. Maybe chemicals in a primordial soup spontaneously spawned a single-celled creature that continued to evolve. Or, perhaps a transcedent Creator formed and nurtured the initial life-forms.To determine what really happened requires a framework to evaluate the evidence. Dr. Rana and Dr. Ross present a scientific model for the creation of first life on Earth--a model based on the Biblbe. They present testable predictions for this life origins scenario and for the competing naturalistic scenarios. Which model withstands the rigorous scrutiny of science and the tests of time?
