Thanks for the quick responses guys. I guess my original question was phrased poorly. My reason for asking what most scientists think about the subject was due to the lack of research going on. I figured most respectable scientists would side with abiogenesis over the New Testament's Genesis. However, the overwhelming lack of research going on relative to other areas of biochemistry has lead me to wonder why this is the case. I didn't know if some feel as though it is a waste of time or if they have problems receiving funding for the type of research or not. But I'll check out the search feature. Thanks for the heads up on that.

Hello, all! This fall, I will begin working on my PhD in biochemistry. My research interests have, until recently, mostly been in the realm of protein structure, function, and evolution. However, I am beginning to find that research in the area of abiogenesis is catching my interest. There really doesn't seem to be a ton of research going on though. Maybe I'm searching in the wrong places, but not many scientists appear to be very interested in the subject. I know that at the university I'll be attending in the fall, there is none going on. How is abiogenesis viewed by the scientific community? Is there much abiogenesis research going on in universities?
