    The conditions in which or where RNA emerged is not fully understood, but does that mean 'God did it?'

    Again, it appears that self copying RNA did in fact emerge under certain conditions and that some of it had the the ability to replicate, which in turn kick starting evolution


    ''The only replicating experiment you provided states''

    You are making to much of the wording of sentences and not enough considering the overall picture. Which is; abiogenesis is a work in progress and there are gaps in information and understanding.

    Where seizing on the gaps in information and understanding and declaring creation by God or irreducible complexity - if that is what you are doing - is not justified. Unlike faith, a scientific work in progress does not have all the answers.

    Irreducible complexity has been proven wrong and special creation has no evidence, so is a matter of faith.

    So what exactly are you arguing for? Special creation? Intelligent design? Irreducible complexity?

    ''A key step in the origin of life was the evolution of a molecule that could copy itself. Once it was discovered that RNA could both carry information and cause chemical reactions (like those that would be required to copy a molecule), RNA became the prime suspect for the earliest self-replicating molecule. In fact, biologists hypothesize that early in life’s history, RNA occupied center stage and performed most jobs in the cell, storing genetic information, copying itself, and performing basic metabolic functions. This is the “RNA world” hypothesis. Today, these jobs are performed by many different sorts of molecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins, mostly), but in the RNA world, RNA did it all.''
