This, our second article on this topic, addresses the question of the origin of the earliest known organized beings. It also discusses the propensity of science to embrace reason, rather than faith in divine intervention.

1) That there was a period during which the Earth was composed entirely and solely of mixed mineral elements; and
2) That scientific experience demonstrates the inability of such a mineral milieu to be a precondition for the development of life.
