That is one reason why I am not an atheist. But please don't argue that this makes me a theist. A non-belief in (a) does not lead to a belief in (b). You need much more than a negative to lead you to a positive. - But what you have described is a very positive scenario. The only way life could have started as you describe the situation is by intelligent guidance. That is what your whole supposition is requesting. With what we now know life is exceedingly more complicated than Darwin imagined. And his theory starts only if there is life to work with. His theory never tried to describe how life started. The Darwinists have attempted to use it in that area of research, and so far nothing they have tried in the lab has worked. They are no further ahead than 60 years ago. And one of their own, Robert Shapiro, says the RNA world is the wrong approach. He has described as a theoretical starting point an energy producing cycle of inorganic molecules. At least he understands the great unlikelihood of an immediate jump from inorganic to organic.
