DNA is useless unless it has a cell to host it. The cell is useless unless it has DNA to regulate it. If life were to arise spontaneously, the conditions would have to be present to allow both pretty much simultaneously.

Besides, there's more to DNA than a double-helix of water. You also need all the good ol' ACTG, and it can't survive, let alone form, at the kinds of pressures and temperatures you're talking about.

Fail.

Viral bodies don't have cell walls nor membranes. They use DNA and RNA quite well.

No, you don't need a cell to have life.

BTW, read the article I referenced. The ice crystals were INSIDE carbon nano-tubes.
