And I see something much much simpler and I'm assured happened.
The sun/uv/heat produced enough energy - continual energy - non random
consistent energy to move chemicals in a direction that adapted to that energy
onslaught.
And that was life
No magic flukes, no one time event, no maybes, no "we had a billion years so
monkeys could fly' arguments, no ribozymes as magic bullet, no RNA world alone,
etc. etc.
