"So, researchers have, at last, achieved molecular self-assembly (of “proto-RNA”) in water.

However, what still remains to be seen is whether or not this two-molecule, self-assembly system can somehow encode information — the molecular memory requirement of living matter — which would potentially drive these molecules towards a structures resembling actual RNA. And, even if this feat is achieved, it will not prove that this is how life arose from the primordial soup…but it will demonstrate one path that key molecules may have taken on the long journey of becoming living matter."

Good stuff! Again Evolutionary Science is about about how life evolves. It is as proven as what happens if you step from a plane without a chute, or if you run your head into a brick at 40 MPH. (apologies to Brum for the analogy!).

There is much we do not know. And absurd and primitive myth does not close the gap in any way!

Let us know when they spontaneously encode intelligent messages.

The leaves of books are made of wood pulp but we don't think a forest explains how books appeared naturally with no guiding intelligence needed.
