However there is no way for them to say with certainty that it is the actual early earth environment because, quite simply.

In order to create life, scientists must first succeed in recreating conditions exactly as they were before life of any kind came into existence. I seriously doubt that will ever happen, but what if it does?

The use of the Cold Trap was basically Miller's use of "divine intervention" within his system, otherwise his experiments failed to render the molecules. !)avid But the main thing that I see is that he didnt create complex organic molecules by chemistry alone.

Currently the thinking on the origin of life (as opposed to its subsequent evolution) centres on conditions around fumaroles (volcanic vents) on the sea floor, which provide a suitably chemical and energy rich environment, known to be home to bacterial colonies. Jury's still out on that one though.

I doubt any scientist would say that a foetus isn't alive, nor would they say that it's 'okay' to abort foetuses willy-nilly. It's a terrible decision that some women and their doctors make, and I don't think it's one that is taken lightly. I also disagree with your comment that abortion is considered 'humane' by everybody. Sure, giving women the legal choice to safe terminations means that some people will abuse this, because we don't live in a perfect world. But I would say that the vast majority of women who make this choice don't do it without a lot of soul searching and I believe they should be given the medical care they require without personal judgements being placed upon them by others. “Now, scientists and such will tell you that a fetus is not “alive” so its okay for us to abort it”
