In today\u2019s ID the Future<\/strong> physicist Brian Miller discusses fellow physicist Jeremy England\u2019s book Every Life Is on Fire: How Thermodynamics Explains the Origin of Living Things<\/a><\/em>. Has England made a significant step toward solving the mystery of how life first began? In Miller\u2019s conversation with host Eric Anderson, he argues that while England\u2019s laboratory work is fascinating and innovative, what\u2019s happening in his experiments differs dramatically from what is required of even the simplest life, so much so that the experiments do not shed the kind of light on the mystery of life\u2019s origin<\/a> that some may hope they do. Moreover, life does certain crucial things with energy that are unknown outside of the biological realm, Miller says, and without those processes available to prebiotic chemicals, it is far from clear how they could ever assemble into the molecular biological machinery essential for the first self-reproducing biological entity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In today\u2019s ID the Future physicist Brian Miller discusses fellow physicist Jeremy England\u2019s book Every Life Is on Fire: How Thermodynamics Explains the Origin of Living Things.
