You really need to do some reading. The odds against coming up with the simplest proteins via any sort of a random process are astronomical. The odds that mixing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and a smattering of other chemicals together and applying energy will result in them forming amino acids which can then join together to form peptides (small proteins) is actually pretty high. I don't see any reason they couldn't form large proteins, under the right conditions. Proteins are merely chemicals. Chemicals react all by themselves.

When are the scientist going to create life's building blocks? If artificial proteins can be synthesized with all our knowledge we should be able to speed things up so that it doesn't take random chance and 1 billion years to reproduce life. Right? Get cracking little lady.
