It is not nearly so simple, Tunica. Your "random mud-hole" phrase is designed to be pejorative. It reminds me of that monumentally annoying Diuretics commercial that ridicules irreligious scientific theory. The current theory of evolution has not been successfully extended back beyond the fully functioning unicell. The theory for going from prebiotic conditions, the "mudhole" if you will, to a fully competent unicell is a big black box. There is currently a great deal of interest in panspermia theories ... the idea that life did not independently arise on Earth, but bacteria from extrasolar sources "inoculated" the young Earth just as soon as it became at all hospitable. So there is wiggle room between the mudhole and the altar.
