My understanding is that tenuous hypotheses are a poor basis for a supposed "consensus".
What we have with origin of life is a bunch of "maybe it worked this way" ideas, with no good way to test them.
- intrasight 2y agoThe scientific method is based around theories and building consensus. Not sure why you or anyone else would refer to it as "tenuous" unless you haven't been following the research.
- pfdietz 2y agoThey're tenuous because there's very little reason for a skeptical person to believe any of it. It's conjecture piled on conjecture with a lot of handwaving. The fundamental problem of Origin of Life is unsolved.
