Where did the amino acids come from? Its just the same as saying where did God come from, and believing in a "God" or creator makes much more sense than some amino acids appearing from nowhere

No, 'where did the amino acids come from?' is a sensible question, already answered. 'Where did the invisible Genie with the super-powers come from?', is a stupid question because in fact God doesn't even exist. See the difference?
At first I was like, "Wow, really?" But then I realized it was in Youtube comments, so it made sense.
I don't get it; you fundies have a problem with amino acids but things like quartz, silica, ozone, fullerenes... that's all perfectly fine without any calls for divine intervention?
Where did the amino acids come from?
And the answer to your question is... we don't know for sure, but we have some observations that point us towards some interesting theories, which we are refining constantly based on new evidence as it becomes available.
Yeah, because amino acids don't really exist. It's not like we can see them with a microscope or something. And god, well, he just likes to hang out at the mall to prove he's real. He even offered to wash my car the other day. Either it was him, or the guy at the car wash where I happened to be at.
Miller-Urey holds under numerous atmospheric conditions. Genesis requires a very specific and completely unsupportable model of God.
In conclusion, a dead Australian computer science professor wants his name back and is cutting off your photocopy privileges.
A. As noted, if it's one thing is "just the same" as another, one can't make more sense than the oter, because they're, you know, the same. Words have meanings. Use them.
B. We have scientific experimentation and reason to explain the chemical reactions that formed the initial amino acids. Meanwhile you have a mysterious being that science can't comment on, and there is no reason to believe exists in the first place. I'm going to go with the amino acids personally.

“Its just the same as saying where did God come from,”
“and believing in a "God" or creator makes much more sense than some amino acids appearing from nowhere”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
