Trying to explain how the first cell came into being is like explaining how the steam engine assembled itself.
Three questions:
1. Why do you think that the first steam engine assembled itself?
2. Why do you think that the first cell assembled itself?
3. When did you last read a book?

ps. this is off topic so you needn't reply. But there is a probably a book in the big-boy's library about where the steam engine came from, if you're actually interested. You will find that the steam engine arose through a process of descent with modification. It involved the cooption of previously-existing parts (i.e. the boiler engine initially used to power static motors, and the train tracks which were designed and built for steam trains, but which are still used by electric trains).
