This is a very risky prediction, one that you are likely to regret. The study of biogenesis is thriving. We will never know the exact history of the beginning of life, but we will have many candidates. There is no vertical cliff separating mere matter from living things. We have molecules that replicate and evolve without cell membranes or cellular machinery, we have mechanisms by which membranes can form naturally, we have many pieces, and are acquiring more.
In case you haven't noticed, this is chemistry, not evolution.
Please give citations of your self-replicating molecules.
IIRC, what I found was that one of the researcher’s concluded that the reaction only mimicked a self-replication. I think it was described as auto-catalytic. What happens in the cell is hardly auto-catalytic.
In any proposition, there are environments, events and processes that initiate and sustain the generation or recombination of molecules.
