I sure as hell don't need to invent some fucking "god" to play in the dirt!
Tales for children.
I get that, I really do, and I am not pretending that this IS the answer for a moment, but it is, perhaps, a possible answer.
The important thing, to me, is that abiogenesis always appeared to be insoluble. I could not see how something created one way would reproduce another. This just might give a clue to the answer - if initial creation and further reproduction use the exact same mechanism then its possible and I get to sleep at night.
There's a slew of things I am happy to say - we don't know yet, science will probably figure it out eventually, but with this I know just enough biology to know it couldn't be done.
Its a sort of eureka moment for me and I just wanted to share.
