Problems with the first life

Thank you for this. It is a good succinct outline.Could you suggest some links to a few of the experiments cited?Especially:

---

Stage 3 Self replicating molecules

​

Laboratory experiments have shown that nucleotide monomers can naturally assemble into RNA molecules without divine intervention. This process happens without the presence of cells or enzymes.

​

Stage 4 Assembly of pre-cells

​

Again, laboratory experiments have shown that lipids can fold and establish a self-contained environment in the center from the environment.

Thanks in advance.

how could a mindless molecules know how to divide the cell into two similar cells??!how to know what essential components must exist in both to keep living??!!!!do you want me to continue??

Why would they have to? Do sodium and chloride molecules know that they need to get together to make salt? Do iron filings know they are attracted by magnets? Does a sheep know to grow wool to make clothes for humans?
