Most certainly wrong, not just inconclusive.
Likely, there was no sudden jolt of electricity, or anything of the sort, that led to suddenly having "life" where before there was "non-life." In fact, the more we learn, the more we see that trying to define a line between "life" and its precursors is rather difficult. Likely there was a long period where we had chemical processes that involved some sort of imperfect replication, which gradually build to a point where we can point at a product and say it's alive.
Basically, even though modern evolutionary theory doesn't explain the origins of life--doesn't even try to--the eventual theory that does explain origins of life probably will be very much influenced by what modern evolutionary theory says. |
