How to pronounce“conceive”in English
Charles Darwin was thinking about the same thing long ago. Here's a little note he put in a letter to his friend, J. D. Hooker, in 1871. "But if and oh what a big if, we could
conceive some warm, little pond with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, light, heat, electricity present, that a protein compound was chemically formed and ready to undergo
still more complex changes. At the present day, such matter would be instantly devoured or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed."
