The problems with trying to piece together a plausible mechanism for the origin of life multiply up. Its not just about thinking up possible scenarios where the various complicated molecules could be manufactured and thrown together. Scientists also have envisage a scheme that explains the origin of the whole system of genetic information with its unique language, replicating systems, translation devices.
This video provides a great animated version of what some of that entails. Looks like Lego DNA to me!
Science and faith. Exploring the world we can see and the one we can't.
