Over the last 70 years or so all of the following questions regarding the natural processes that constitute life, and that distinguish living organisms from non-living matter have been substantially answered: 1. What is the chemical composition of a living cell? 2. How do these chemicals interact within the living cell to keep it alive? 3. What physical and chemical processes underlie the functioning of a living organism? 4. How are the chemicals responsible for all the natural processes that sustain living cells within living organisms synthesized, broken down and replenished? 5. How is energy harnessed, stored and utilized for sustaining living processes? 6. What chemical mechanisms determine the structure and function of living cells and organisms, and how? 7. What are the molecular chemical bases of growth, reproduction and heredity? 8. What chemical and physical mechanisms account for the emergence of complexity and diversity of living organisms? 9. What is the molecular chemical and physical basis of movement? 10. What are the chemical and physical bases of sensory, perceptual and mental phenomena? **"Conclusion: As we have seen, the scientific evidence confirms that “in the beginning, God created [...] .” Life cannot come from nonlife; only God can create life. True science and the Bible will always agree. Whether in biology, astronomy, geology, or any other field of study, we can trust God’s Word to be accurate when it speaks about these topics. Let us stand up for the truth of Genesis and take back our culture. See http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/wow/can-natural-processes-explain' Bible is not a scientific book. But we know that scientists have taken elements and inspiration for their theories from the Bible, including Albert Einstein. If Science and Bible coincide on several points, I have nothing to object. Let scientific conclusions be scientifically verified. This link proves that life cannot come from non-life. My discussion was diverted to a different issue. I stand by what was stated by the Holy Father, namely "Science cannot explain the meaning of life..." Regards. Fr.Ivo
