No, and no. DNA could very well be the first living template. RNA is another possibility. PNA yet another. None of the above are "known" to be the first, yet.

Yes... And since those molecules do not have the same complexity, your math is meaningless. As well as it is not known how complex a molecule must be to be self reproducing and thus capable of Evolution.

And again, for about the fifth time, no matter how life came to be, Evolution happened after that.

This discussion is about Evolution, not abiogenesis, so all your efforts are for naught.

Go to bed.

No, that statement is too broad. "No matter how life came to be?!"

Given a self-replicating machine, a DNA-computer, a computer virus, or even an artificially intelligent software program, Evolution would fall short of explaining the Origin.

Why then would one extrapolate such a theory into other realms, much less claim dogmatically that said theory "must" have happened?
