This statement misrepresents both the science and the philosophical attitude that secular humanists take toward knowledge. Life did not begin with a fully formed "first cell" struck by lightning like Frankenstein’s monster. The current scientific understanding is that life likely emerged gradually through a long process of chemical evolution—starting with simple molecules that eventually formed self-replicating structures, like RNA, long before anything resembling a modern cell existed.

Yes, lightning or geothermal energy may have played a role in triggering early reactions (as shown in the famous Miller-Urey experiment), but scientists do not claim this exact moment happened "once and never again." Instead, they acknowledge that life may have arisen in many forms and locations, and only one lineage survived—ours.

The claim that scientists "have never been able to duplicate it" ignores the nature of origin-of-life research. Recreating billions of years of chemical evolution in a lab is extraordinarily difficult, but researchers have replicated key steps—such as forming amino acids, nucleotide chains, and protocells—from simple, Earth-like conditions.
