Harold Urey Quotes

• Todos los que estudiamos el origen de la vida nos damos cuenta de que cuanto más lo investigamos, más nos parece que es demasiado complejo para haber evolucionado en cualquier parte. Todos creemos como un artículo de fe que la vida evolucionó a partir de materia muerta en este planeta. Lo que ocurre es que la complejidad de la vida es tan grande que nos resulta difícil imaginar que así fuera.
