Abiogenesis is impossible

What gapping hole? this is all explained perfectly well by evolution.

Commencing at the cell level - for instance the cell’s membranes (wall) is incredibly complex. Lipids and proteins interact to assemble bilayers which function much like cross beams which are called phospholipids shaped like a balloon with two strings attached, and are assembled in a tail-to-tail configuration. The balloon ends forms the inner and
outer surfaces. The phospholipids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid are combination of cholesterol, oils, fats, etc.
The protein molecules on the other hand bind to the inner and outer surfaces and function as receptors that provide the cell capability to communicate with its external environment; they do this by catalyzing chemical reactions at both the inner and outer surfaces. Another function is to transport material across the cell’s membrane and also forms pores and channels though it.
So what needs to be in place from the start is a protocell that has complete bilayer formation securely and properly tail-to-tail assembled that encompass the total cell - forming a ‘sandwich bag’ structure that provides a sealed environment. Well of course it would have to surround the cell’s machinery already inside which would have to be likewise fully functional as is the membrane. It’s all or nothing - the nucleus and other parts and the dna scripting for the likes of metabolic and replication must be there inside the membrane in place, in real time, in perfect working order. The border can’t be just 99% ‘evolved’ or the cell doesn’t survive.
If the membrane developed through natural processes, evolutionary models must account for its occurrence early the origin of life pathway. This hasn’t been done, forget about ‘perfectly’; in fact not even close. This is not simple to more complex, this is fully complex.

Ok so you have opted for "irreducible complexity" a long refuted attempt to shoe horn in a god where one is required.

I am not an expert in this field so wont even try to rebut this specific example, but I know that no attempt to show that this is a thing has succeeded.
