Originally considered a dud, an old
volcano-in-a-bottle experiment designed to mimic conditions that may have brewed the components of life might have been right on target.
........
"The amino acid precursors formed in a plume and
concentrated along tidal shores. They settled in the water, underwent further reactions there, and as they washed along the shore, became concentrated and underwent further polymerization events," explained Indiana University biochemist Adam Johnson, a co-author of the study.
"And lightning" — the final catalyst in the equation — "tends to be extremely common with volcanic eruptions."

I agree! I had no idea how powerful a volcanic eruption could be until I saw the pictures and read the Wired Science article on some of the reactions that Stanley Miller was easily able to produce with a volcano in a bottle experiment.

All it shows is that amino acids emerged from such reactions. Amino acids have MANY other functions other than just functioning in the form of a protein. Some neurotransmitters are amino acids (a role of amino acids other than participating in making proteins.) You, or your scientists, still need to show how life form ( I define bacteria being the first form of life, not viruses or ribozymes) emerged from such volcanic reactions.

. So it was a big bang out of no where?
Nice
I don't know, I just believe that Allah,spw, created EVERYTHING in six days.
Some say that it isn't six days but something else?
Sorry I'm not very productive in speech.
I think you misunderstood. He is talking about the volcanic eruptions or lightning on earth and earth was formed way AFTER the BIG BANG. He is not referring to the big bang when he says that life emerged from a poof. I am sure that he makes intense poof sounds in the washroom, not sure if such a poof on Earth ever resulted in the creation of life.
