Back to irreducible complexity (PART TWO) (Introduction)

I guess you misunderstood my comment. I was mentally leap-frogging to origin of life; he makes the statement that evolution can account for the entire complement of supporting molecules to handle the translation of information in DNA. That makes me think that he is presenting a chicken and egg quandry. How does that all appear, if DNA has THE INFORMATION FOR LIFE? DNA cannot translate itself. RNAzymes can only reproduce themselves. So how can it happen? The other mechanisms first and then DNA appears: de novo mechanisms out of the blue? We only know life as it comes from other life. Further research will only intensify this quandry, not clarify it. George, any thoughts?
