They have actually gotten better results by applying electrical currents into the same mixtures.
Its just salts, oils or fats, water etc in a sterile glass beaker with a rubber stopper cap. the rubber stopper has 2 wires that come through, u can change the wires or electrodes for different metals. Then add an electric current with batteries or other higher end devices. The lower the currents the better i think.
Some beakers you shake, another set you don't shake, some you might put in the sun, some not, etc.
It is still a long way from a protein!
A fun way to understand Proteins is this game Fold it.
I can't see a comet doing what we are simulating in Fold it @ home.
Its just about building proteins, some are a lot better than others!

Its distributed computing and a game that actually helps protein research!edit on 20-9-2013 by AbleEndangered because: typos

With more planets in the universe than grains of sand on Earth, it's basically a guarantee that this has occurred naturally somewhere. And with proof of evolution all around us, I feel comfortable saying that this is a very plausible explanation for how intelligent beings came to be.

Can you explain to me then how conciseness occurs what is the bases of the little thing we call thoughts, and what is your definition of a intelligent life? And since evolution is all around us please point out some of this evolution on a macro scale. thanks

If comets and such breed life therefore a space rock is playing god. Therefore those Russian folks who are worshiping the meteorite that came down in February may not be so crazy after all. LOL
Really this means Nothing for us Humans. So what a collision makes this chemical exchange, this new creation of acids take place - thats all it means. There is nothing here that suggests we humans got our present life's start by the help of a comet.
I think you're grossly misinterpreting my post. Amino's are proteins.. The same exact ones that make up RNA which later becomes DNA. That's pretty substantial evidence that a simple interaction of heat and h20 can create the initial building blocks needed to start life. Prior to this it was only speculated that this could happen and there was no evidence. We know that under the right conditions, amino acids combine to create nucleotides. The Nucleotides band together to create RNA. In labs, setup with RNA replicators, scientists have witness RNA evolving into DNA. DNA is THE "building block" of life.
I never said anything about humans coming from a comet.. I said that scientific theories like panspermia are being supported by the evidence provided by these experiments. If Panspermia proves to be real, then it blows a huge hole in creationist belief.
This answer the question of "where" does it start for life.. Or how could it have started here?
Now the transition from DNA to complex organism is the next step in the process. We've witnessed species evolve in experiments and even seen speciation through geographic separation, but we haven't been studying "evolution" long enough to witness dramatic differences that would explain something as different or complex as human origin. The pieces are coming together and this part was essential for making the rest even a remote possibility.

According to Moore's law it has been estimated that it would take 9.7 billion years for life to evolve from its simplest form a bacteria to become what we have today.

The earth is only 4.5 billion years old. So this life form would of had to of been evolving for 5 billion years on this comet. The numbers do not add up.edit on 20-9-2013 by guitarplayer because: added website for reference
Sharov and Gordon also point out that astronomers believe that our Solar Nebula formed from the remnants of an earlier star, suggesting that life from this period might be preserved in the original gas, dust and ice clouds. In a form of Cosmic pansermia, life on Earth may be a continuation of a process that began many billions of years before the formation of our Solar System.
Additionally they suggest that the evolution of advanced organisms has accelerated via development of additional information-processing systems: epigenetic memory, primitive mind, multicellular brain, language, books, computers, and Internet. As a result the doubling time of complexity has reached about every 20 years.
The result is an exponential increase identical to that behind Moore’s Law with the doubling time, however, expanding to 376 million years rather than two years.
