Biochemical Evolution and the Origin of Life

Foundations Restored · Season 1 · Episode 8
According to the "molecules-to-man" evolution hypothesis, life evolved from non-life through a natural process of chemical evolution. However, this episode demonstrates that even the "simplest" life requires a large amount of coded information and machinery for replicating that information. This machinery can only be produced by comparable machinery and there is no evidence that anything like that machinery has ever arisen spontaneously, piece by piece, through random chemical interactions.
