No, the funniest people are those that believe that because they don't understand something, no one can.
Not everything is knowable, sometimes admitting ignorance is key. It's sad that some posters on message boards believe they know more than experts who have studied a particular subject for years. Complete morons in denial of their ignorance.
Really? Googling 'abiogenesis' is way too much effort, you obviously prefer ignorance.
If not, let me know when you've read through the 450+ citations and sources in Wikipedia and we can discuss it from a place of knowledge.

Genuine schizzos do not understand their own ignorance and typically believe that they are the brightest person in the group as a result of their grandiose delusions.
Now tell us more of what you proved by using the internet
Maybe that scientists have studied, researched, experimented, and written over 450 times about life arising from pond scum. You on the other hand don't even have to read Wikipedia because you came to the table with all the answers.

Why do they teach a good for nothing theory then? Such is a waste.
So you are saying that none of the 450+ citations and sources are accurate? If that is the case you should be able to show us at least one that is inaccurate?You are literally professing your stupidity to any and all.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source - Wikipedia
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at any time. This means that any information it contains at any particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or just plain wrong. Biographies of living persons, subjects that happen to be in the news, and politically or culturally contentious topics are especially vulnerable to these issues. Edits on Wikipedia that are in error may eventually be fixed. However, because Wikipedia is a volunteer-run project, it cannot monitor every contribution all the time. There are many errors that remain unnoticed for days, weeks, months, or even years. Therefore, Wikipedia should not be considered a definitive source in and of itself.
The same applies to Wikipedia's sister projects, as well as websites that mirror or use it as a source themselves, and printed books or other material derived primarily or entirely from Wikipedia articles.
- Wikipedia generally uses reliable secondary sources, which vet data from primary sources. If the information on another Wikipedia page (which you want to cite as the source) has a primary or secondary source, you should be able to cite that primary or secondary source and eliminate the middleman (or "middle-page" in this case).
- Always be careful of what you read: it might not be consistently accurate.
- Neither articles on Wikipedia nor websites that mirror Wikipedia can be used as sources, because this is circular sourcing.
- An exception to this is when Wikipedia is being discussed in an article, which may cite an article, guideline, discussion, statistic or other content from Wikipedia or a sister project as a primary source to support a statement about Wikipedia (while avoiding undue emphasis on Wikipedia's role or views, and inappropriate self-reference)

Wikipedia generally uses reliable secondary sources, which vet data from primary sources.
My challenge to you, which you clearly didn't answer was:
So you are saying that none of the 450+ citations and sources (secondary sources) are accurate? If that is the case you should be able to show us at least one that is inaccurate?
Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at any time. This means that any information it contains at any particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or just plain wrong. Biographies of living persons, subjects that happen to be in the news, and politically or culturally contentious topics are especially vulnerable to these issues. Edits on Wikipedia that are in error may eventually be fixed. However, because Wikipedia is a volunteer-run project, it cannot monitor every contribution all the time. There are many errors that remain unnoticed for days, weeks, months, or even years. Therefore, Wikipedia should not be considered a definitive source in and of itself.
You have the intellect of a small child who is actually ignorant enough to accept the nonsense that they find on the internet and believe it and declare science settled because the dumb Mexicans and Russians who post garbage on Wikipedia say it's so. ( Sorry I forgot to mention chinks) (my bad)

Internet Deception Is Here to Stay—So What Do We Do Now?
Fake followers. Fake news. Foreign influence operations. The last decade revealed that much of what's online is not as it seems.
What is fake on the internet?????????????????
A lot, as it turns out. An early sign of the coming infopocalypse came in the form of A Gay Girl in Damascus. The blog chronicled the life of its author, Amina Arraf, a 35-year-old gay Syrian woman participating in an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. It quickly found a global audience, who became enraptured with Arraf’s moving prose and vivid description of queer life in the Middle East. The Guardian described her as “an unlikely hero of revolt in a conservative country.”
Until June 6, 2011, when a different kind of post appeared on the blog. It was a panicked update from Arraf’s cousin explaining that she had been thrown into the back of red minivan by three mysterious men in downtown Damascus. News of the kidnapping quickly spread around the globe, resulting in reports from The Guardian, The New York Times, Fox News, CNN, and more. A “Free Amina” campaign led to the creation of posters and other websites. The State Department even reportedly started an investigation into her disappearance.
Six days after the so-called kidnapping, the truth emerged: The gay girl from Damascus was a straight 40-year-old American man from Georgia named Tom.
The blog, social media accounts, and nearly six years of forum postings under the name Amina Arraf were all fake. The hoax rocked the blogosphere and marked a turning point in public awareness of digital deception. The Washington Post said it illustrated the “ease of fudging authenticity online.”
The internet has always been awash with deception, dating to the web’s earliest days. A 1998 paper by Judith Donath, a researcher and adviser at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, detailed the effects of trolling, misinformation, and disinformation on Usenet groups.
