OM,
1) Observations of neighbouring planets are by all means not prove of earths early composition. If it was, than the assumption would be made that all planets except for earth, would not have evolved through time.
The other planets (with the possible exception of Mars), do not have the correct conditions for life as we know it to evolve.
2) If hydrogen disperses into space, where did the hydrogen come from needed for the presence of liquid water, to support life on earth?
Stars are mostly hydrogen.
When stars burn up much of their hydrogen, they form other elements than helium, and then explode. The oxygen so formed makes water with the hydrogen. Some of the nitrogen makes ammonia. These are incorporated in newly formed planets. No need for hydrogen gas.
3) Religion itself does not state that it is prove, religion cannot be proven. Science however is based of prove. Therefore one can demand FACTUAL statements from a scientist.
Which is what we give you.
4) The complete absence of an ozon layer in early earth would have caused UV radiation to kill any life form.
Not life living a few metres below the surface of the sea. That is where life started.
5) In an atmosphere made up by ammonia & methane it is highly unlikely that thunderstorms the size needed to create enough energy to trigger the formation of amino acids. Then again, IF it did, UV radiation would have killed it off immediately.
Thunderstorms have been observed on Jupiter, which has an ammonia methane atmosphere.
http://www.firstscience.com/site/articles/cornell.aspAmino acids are not alive so cannot be killed off. See 4)
6) Experiments showing that amino acids can be made from ammonia, methane and electricity happen in strictly controlled environments.
Elements created in that experiment, which are harmful to amino acids, are filtered out immediately. Once cannot explain or show that such filtering took place in early earths atmosphere and how that than should have taken place.

Google “Amino Acids Electric Discharge for another 170,000 odd references. No filtering took place. Elements cannot be created in a chemical experiment.
7) Creationists are not alone in their critisism on the experiments. Even in the scientific community it is largely disputed that the experiments represent a likely or even believable term of events. Prsently scientists tend to believe that elements entered earth from sources in space.
Certainly elements entered earth from space and are still doing so.
If you mean periodic organic molecules, or even simple life forms, came to earth from space, Google “Panspermia” there is considerable scientific evidence that this happened and is still happening.
That does not mean that the electric discharge amino acid synthesis did not happen at the same time. It also totally refutes the 6000 year old creationist assumptions.
This I have taken from your earlier messages, and I quote: "Until photosynthetic life had evolved, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere".
So, if that is the case, where did the oxygen come from, needed to create liquid water which is an absolute necessity for the creation of life?
Answered under 2) above.
In short: An ozon layer could not have formed because the elements for an ozon layer were not present in earths atmosphere.
UV radiation would have had free access and killed off any amino acids formed by the reaction between the elemnts in earths atmosphere, and the garbage elements created by this reaction which are harmful to amino acids, would have floated into space.
These same garbage elements however, are needed for the creation of liquid water, which would have been the only place where amino acids could have survived from UV radiation.
Answered above.
Finally, it is not that scientists found the earth to be of this composition and then proceeded with their experiments.
It is that because with this experiment scientists succeeded to create amino acids, the assumption was made that earths atmosphere must have been composed of these elements.
Not so. The composition of the primitive atmosphere is inferred from the composition of rocks laid down before life appeared on the scene.
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1980Natur.288...72ASee, there is also a good thing about being a creationist...for them the problem is solved.
Yes. Just switch off your mind.
Scientists however, with science contradicting "facts" continuously...will be in doubt forever.
Yes .There will always be something new to be learned. We can never fully understand the Mind of God.
