The RNA World concept might offer the best chance for the resolution of this conundrum but so far cannot adequately account for the emergence of an efficient RNA replicase or the translation system. The MWO (Ed.: "many worlds in one"[118]) version of the cosmological model of eternal inflation could suggest a way out of this conundrum because, in an infinite multiverse with a finite number of distinct macroscopic histories (each repeated an infinite number of times), emergence of even highly complex systems by chance is not just possible but inevitable."

So is he saying that we'd have to believe in infinite universes in order to substantiate abiogenesis? Or did I misinterpret that?
He's saying that the research that's been done, in spite of all the scientists' best efforts, hasn't managed to account for the transition from the simple building blocks to a complete self-replicating RNA molecule.
Yes, he then goes on a tangent and says something about the multiverse... and chance... imagination is creeping away from him.
