Re: Must have a Cyclical Energy Source to Start Life

The book Lonely Planets, by D. Grinspoon talks about the requirements for life in his discussion of the possibility of life on Jupiter's moons.

He has three: 1. Organic molecules (the building blocks), 2. liquid water (the medium), and 3. a source of energy (the spark of life).

"Organic molecules"?

It sounds as though that would be a disproof of the ideas of A. G.
Cairns Smith.

Such a disproof would represent an astonishing breakthrough - in my
book.

Of course, compelling supporting evidence would be required to support
such
an extraordinary claim, in my view - and my money says that none is
presented.
