Yeah, see, that's an assumption. And "not hard" is very far from a universally-accepted evaluation of the odds for that situation.
So, when someone like me comes along who doesn't buy the assumption, can you provide a foundation for it that is stronger than "yes, I assume it" or "everyone knows"?
- bmitc 3y agoI know what an assumption is. > can you provide a foundation for it that is stronger than "yes, I assume it" or "everyone knows"? That's not really an accurate portrayal of my argument. But here's sources I know of. * Origins of Life course on Complexity Explorer * The Origin and Nature of Life on Earth: The Emergence of the Fourth Geosphere * Every Life Is on Fire: How Thermodynamics Explains the Origins of Living Things
