How does that work? Can it be repeated in lab conditions?
I didn't mention the word should.
How old is this hypothesis?
The first successful experiment in abiogenesis was the Miller-Urey experiment.
I don't know. I would think that if it could have just popped up out of a mud puddle, under the right conditions; that after 70 years, that scientists would be able to repeat that process in an ideal lab environment, with controlled conditions, and all of the necessary elements.
Has anyone considered any possibilities besides happenstance?
No one thinks life just popped out of a mud puddle, and "happenstance" is too unlikely a possibility to receive much consideration.I don't know.

Why would you think that? The process in nature likely took millions of years. How are they going to replicate that in a lab when life itself is not fully understood. This is not an easy problem.
Because it was not just one reaction.Why would you think that it took millions of years? I've never heard of a chemical reaction taking that long before.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say?Because it was not just one reaction.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say?
Are you suggesting that a series of chemical reactions took place; and that those compounds lasted for millions of years until one day they all came together?
If that were the case then why wouldn't these compounds be all over the place, especially considering all of the bio-matter that has piled up all of the planet from terminated plant and animal lives?
I take it that you haven't looked it any of the links which hve been posted for you. But the general supposition is that there was an orderly process involving a series of biochemical compounds of increasing complexity starting with those which were definitely not alive to those which definitely were alive.Then what is the general supposition?
They are. And for all we know, the emergence of life may be relatively common in nature; but such simple proto-life would immediately become food for already existing creatures and so we don't detect it.I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

From various sources. They have been shown to form naturally.Out of what? Where do the acids come from?

If you don't want to study it then you cannot claim that it is shaky. I am not going to do all of your homework for you. If you do not understand a point you can ask questions, but if you want to discuss it all you need to at least try to understand the basics. You have been given the resources for a beginning. You cannot really ask for more than that.I didn't want to to take a lot of time to study this subject. I sounded shaky when I learned of it over 40 years ago. I thought that you had studied the subject. Thanks for your help though.
It's gotten much less shaky in the last forty years and still remains the only reasonable possibility.I didn't want to to take a lot of time to study this subject. I sounded shaky when I learned of it over 40 years ago. I thought that you had studied the subject. Thanks for your help though.
