This is a terribly important article. When it becomes widely accepted -- and it will be -- it means that religion has lost its creation story. That could mean the end of religion for the vast majority of people.

Anyone every consider that if all the world's holy books said nothing at all of gods who created us it would likely be that mankind would not worry about the question at all. People worry about it because they just cannot shut up and it makes no sense to them without putting a supreme being in the picture. OK. Suppose there are supreme beings and they don't give a crap about you.

This is an hypothesis, not yet a theory.

Interesting read. Some say Quantum mechanics had a hand in starting the universe, Maybe quantum had a hand in life also.

of course there has to be to create life, i say it all the time when I'm ejaculating and so does the female when she's coming, oh god, oh god

I feel it's sufficiently proven that there is no Creator, simply because there's no way to answer the question, "Who created her? him? it?" There is no solution to this infinite regress. Saying "the creator has always been here" is far less satisfactory than accepting that the Universe, in some form, has always been here. Accepting the existence of the Universe does not require violating any physical laws or invoking the supernatural. It merely requires us to accept that we'll never know for sure.

The question now driving research is how exactly life might have come about; something else we'll never know, but we can come closer and closer to a good guess.

"More proof that there did not need to be a god involved to create life."?
If it required God then there would be no life.

The god of the gaps folks keep painting themselves into ever smaller corners.
