Abiogenesis chicken-and-egg problem

[Armoured]

I've been down that road, it's a blind alley, in the dark with a creepy stranger. Abiogenesis really isn't seeing any major advances and the RNA theory, while compelling, is riddled with holes. Creationists have gotten a lot of mileage our of the probability arguments, there is only one real way to deal with this. Start with a fully functional single cell population and go from there because there is just too much that has to happen otherwise. It's called a priori and there is no other way.

Creationists certainly think they've gotten a lot of mileage. I'll go with the palaeochemists.

Take enough time, it'll happen

Hypothetically, but not in any real universe.

Did you ever read up on Spiegelman's Monster like I suggested a while back?

Spiegelman cheated. He started with rNA. That's like saying he made a car from scratch by buying one and adding a set of mud flaps.
