RE: The Central Dogma Theory 2: DNA Replication
The pre-biotic soup had the necessary building blocks. Why is it that you think that RNA couldn't self replicate?

Lack of RNA nucleotides obviously still no evidence or theory can explain the abundance needed, pools of it for millions of years to suport random self assembly into RNA of usefull composition followed by self replication for million of years with no membrane or safe environment on a very hot earth, hardly possible of carrying life as we know it.
But its moving forward, some even propose pre RNA molecules evolving into RNA with some catalytic effects as temperatures droped etc.
I gladly follow the progress, but i am naturally skeptic to evolution and big bang, it´s being taken for granted by many but we should not forget it is still theories that carries a lot of flaws :)
interesting debate you got going on guys. My research sense has been further triggered. I will look deeply into both sides of the argument and see if I can come up with something more evidence based.
It is an interesting question :) good luck!
