Idk I'll have to look up a paper on it later, your metaphors are throwing me off lol. If RNA smooshed together to create DNA, that's a different idea from DNA emerging separately and eating RNA. I also wouldn't consider RNA a stub within DNA replication, so.
@Mister Agenda
I'm also curious to know if you think evolutionary biology could indeed distinguish separate lineages derived from distinct origins, that have otherwise similar structure? In other words, if two organisms share gene A, is that enough to know they absolutely have a shared origin? There are only so many elements, and perhaps life can only emerge in so many ways. Crystals don't have a shared ancestry, but they all have a shared structure. I would assume that if life emerges multiple times, it does so with rather similar structures. My point is, I think shared origin is an assumption evolution broadly makes. I'm less certain it is a fact that evolution can establish.
