I just found something new and different (to me).
Most times the creationary approach argues that "even the earliest fossilized single celled creatures are 'too complex' to ACCIDENTALLY pop into existence."
Having been raised in a strict religious environment, I fully understand the argument.
After all... I certainly WOULD NOT expect a watch to assemble itself and commence working if I shook the parts of a complete watch around in a box for a billion years.
NOR would I expect a cell (as we know it) to spontaneously appear after a lightning strike in a puddle of mud.
However...
That then means that, for evolution to BootStrap... it requires a SIMPLER yet Automatically produced Quasi-Cell that HAS some Life-Like properties.
Has anyone here heard the name Sydney Fox?
He has done some work with things known as MicroSpheres.
MicroSpheres are these protein based entities that have cell walls and generally no complex internal structures. They DO however contain enzymes, proteins, aminos and other elements and compounds from the environment in which they are made.
And from time to time they actually REPLICATE (I will not use the word reproduce). They perform actions that increase the population of microspheres.

(fossilized evidence exists for microspheres)
They also arise spontaneously in what are hypothesized to be "pre-biotic conditions".
