“The nice thing [about the current study] is this is a demonstration of self-assembly in water,”... thus providing a mechanism to skip that difficulty where you got stuck.
"These "proto-RNA bases" spontaneously assemble into gene-length linear stacks, suggesting that the genes of life could have gotten started from these or similar molecules................. Hud's group knew that they were on to something when they added a small chemical tail to a proto-RNA base and saw it spontaneously form linear assemblies with another proto-RNA base."
I would like to know what the small chemical tail was. Was it something that naturally occurs in nature or a manufactured substance?
So if I were to summarize what the article is saying, it would be; "the molecules required to form RNA don't spontaneously form in water but we found some other chemicals that do so we think RNA formed from these, but we've no idea how that happened." It's not exactly compelling evidence.
Yep... Keep moving the goal posts...
It is known that science hasn't cracked the exact mechanism. I've told you that a few times already.
With this, the best we can say, right now, is that we don't know how it happened.
What we do see around us is only natural processes operating, so it is to be expected that only those were in operation way back when life got started.
In other news, speciation has been observed in the lab and no god was required for it to happen... Just enough generations... Not exactly something feasible with humans...
