Scientific Censorship

I keep writing on this theme, but that is because again and again and again I am seeing old long held scientific theories of the origins of life and of evolution fall into greater doubt. Yet another one is now falling away and that is the idea that the first life arose in tidal pools in a theory widely known as primordial soup. Here is a good article that is a quick read which gets to the heart of the issue: New Research Rejects 80-year Theory of ‘Primordial Soup’ as the Origin of Life.

I've written about the fallen long held theory of dinosaur to bird evolution. I've shown the debacle behind the hype of "Ida" and also how vested interests are the enemy of sound science. Just click on the "Science" label on the right hand menu of this blog to read what I'm talking about.

When I first saw the title of the article rejecting the primordial soup theory I was excited, but quickly I realized why a secular scientific journal would allow it to be published. The reason? Because in it's place another BS theory was introduced. The fact is the scientists have had no success in remotely replicating or proving the primordial soup theory. They continued for years and each attempt met failure. The only way they are willing to move away from it was if they could come up with another theory that not only would buy more time, but also wouldn't challenge their preconceived idea as to what they need the end result to be. And so instead of life arising in primordial tidal pools they give us the alternative theory that (drum roll) life arose from gases and that the energy for first life came from harnessing geochemical gradients created by "mother Earth" at a special kind of deep-sea hydrothermal vent.

So we go from primordial soup to primordial vents?

This science will continue to demonstrate that a theory of life coming about in the absence of a living Creator falls short of reality. This failure will not be due to the quality of the science, but rather because their goal is to discard anything the doesn't fit into the particular belief system of the scientific elite. Censorship never leads to good science.
