    He says we “perform” that “experiment” every time we open a new jar of peanut butter, but we know that life can be smaller than the eye can see. The “new life” could certainly be there, it’s just not visible. On this same note, if there happened to be new life and we ingested it, then that “new life” would also have to put up a fight against our digestive system. If it makes it past our entire GI tract without being destroyed or absorbed into our bodies, then it would be eliminated as fecal matter. Again, the same people who aren’t taking a microscope to every bit of the peanut butter certainly won’t take a microscope to their every stool.
    In short, there could be new life, science just tells us that the process doesn’t work that way, and casual observation is not proof of the negative.

    Evolution makes a lot more sense than some guy building a gigantic boat and gathering up animals from all over the world and having them agree to not only travel on the boat, but also to not eat each other despite being on each other's menu.

    The irony is this has nothing to do with evolution, they are talking about the origin of life. Unreal

    I encountered new life one time. You have to open a jar of Jif though. Skippy just doesn't get the job done.
