And we say, look how complex it is.

No, it's unlikely.

geologic processes.

I can send you to any planet and you'll be familiar.

There might be some fun, interesting things that you've only read about or heard about in abundance there, but geology, when you subject minerals and ingredients to the same temperatures, pressures, will get you the same results every time.

So if you create a biological analog to that and say, given the right temperatures and pressures and time, you'll make a DNA molecule every time.

Do you what do you say to that?

That that may be, you know, if geology is universal geology, why wouldn't it do it for us?

Why wouldn't it do it for biology?

Yeah.

Yeah.

The short answer is yes.

But I have another, I have an issue with the panspermia hypothesis.

Okay.

And by the way, that's an hypothesis surely named by men.

Oh, without a doubt.

So, you know, life begins in one location and then spreads to other location, which, by the way, I don't think we – getting back to your ignorant physicist comment –
