Good try, but this observation fails to support proposition 2.
Aaactually, yes it did. It proved the chemical origin of life.
From whence the chemistry came, came the RNA, came the DNA. How do we know this? How is it observed?
Well, for one thing, if it hadn't, you and me would not be sitting here talking right now and Earth would be a very boring place, indeed.
We have the start of evolution in the creation of RNA through the materials present on Earth in its infancy proven. In other words we have evolution at its very beginning; the evolution of the inorganic into the organic. We have the demonstration of evolutionary changes in the ecosphere.Start and middle, and eventually the end, but that's for the future and not the present.
I dunno how you get that it wasn't observed. XD That's precisely what happened. That's like me making a spark with flint and tinder, embers beginning, me leaving for a few moments, coming back, and a fire merrily roaring in the firepit and you saying "you didn't observe the process of the fire burning." I sure did, actually. I didn't watch the fire grow, but the embers were there and they were starting to burn when I went off to get more firewood and when I came back the fire was burning. What logical conclusion otherwise could come to be?
Do or do not. There is no try. And I did not try. I did.
