Dear Atheist,

@ DrKvothe after doing some light reading on the subject on Homochirality I found some information that was pretty consistent with what my ochem teacher was telling me - "The emergence of chirality consensus as a natural autoamplification process has been associated with the 2nd law of thermodynamics." He's got a PhD in physical chemistry and a main portion of his research dealt with converting the equation for mixing entropy from intensive to extensive. He has done this successfully btw - so get ready for some books to get big fat addendums added to 'em.

assuming a selfreplicator must be homochiral (or nearly) the spontaneous formation of such a molecule from a racemic monomer pool is exponentially less likely than from a homochiral pool. The chance of a polymer length n being homochiral from a racemic pool is 1 in .5^n. The generation of a homochiral pool of monomers makes molecular selfreplicators much more likely to arise, but few reasonable scenarios have been published to date. If we knew what molecules actually made up the first molecular selfreplicator, we could probably figure it out...

the "handedness" doesnt exist in other dimensions so it had to emerge in ours. go to sleep.

I don't get why people want God to be real. He's a vicious cunt.

It basically comes down to self-loathing.

There is no way we will ever be able to fully understand our physical universe. We will never know when it was created and we will never know how fast it is expanding. The Bible said that humans will never be able to comprehend how vast the universe is and that everything will be ultimately destroyed at the end of God's timetable for humans. If accurate, this would mean our entire universe is destroyed along with Earth.


Taking the agnostic viewpoint, our universe is just one set of countless other universes that could be linked together. Ours is just a reaction that is still occurring. We are too primitive to travel to other solar systems or galaxies and the ill fate of our Earth will probably be decided before we can accomplish such feats.
