 Wrong! My conclusion was this: Since there is nothing in the present
 structure of natural law that can account for its own origin, the Universe
 could not have created itself. Therefore, it must have had a supernatural
 origin.

  The earth is an isolated system in regard to life. Sunlight acting on
  nonliving matter without a life product (like chlorophyll) will not explain
  synthesis from non-living matter by sunlight.
