Life as a natural phenomenon is explained by a science called Biology. Over
the last 70 years or so all of the following questions regarding the natural
processes that constitute life, and that distinguish living organisms from
non-living matter have been substantially answered:
1. What is the chemical composition of a living cell?
2. How do these chemicals interact within the living cell to keep it alive?
3. What physical and chemical processes underlie the functioning of a living
organism?
4. How are the chemicals responsible for all the natural processes that
sustain living cells within living organisms synthesized, broken down and
replenished?
5. How is energy harnessed, stored and utilized for sustaining living
processes?
6. What chemical mechanisms determine the structure and function of living
cells and organisms, and how?
7. What are the molecular chemical bases of growth, reproduction and heredity?
8. What chemical and physical mechanisms account for the emergence of
complexity and diversity of living organisms?
9. What is the molecular chemical and physical basis of movement?
10. What are the chemical and physical bases of sensory, perceptual and
mental phenomena?
**"Conclusion:
As we have seen, the scientific evidence confirms that “in the beginning, God
created [...] .” Life cannot come from nonlife; only God can create life. True
science and the Bible will always agree. Whether in biology, astronomy,
geology, or any other field of study, we can trust God’s Word to be accurate
when it speaks about these topics. Let us stand up for the truth of Genesis and
take back our culture.

Bible is not a scientific book. But we know that scientists have taken
elements and inspiration for their theories from the Bible, including Albert
Einstein. If Science and Bible coincide on several points, I have nothing to
object. Let scientific conclusions be scientifically verified. This link proves
that life cannot come from non-life. My discussion was diverted to a different
issue. I stand by what was stated by the Holy Father, namely "Science cannot
explain the meaning of life..."
