Sure you can ~ first, you create a chamber with 50 atmospheres pressure. Introduce some distilled water. It'll collapse into a crystalline form that looks just like the double-helix of DNA.

Now that we know that this chemical structure simply pops out of the very structure of the universe (like any other crystal), all we have to do is toss in some contaminants, and we can start building DNA.

Sufficient number of contaminants, and sufficient amount of water, given the pressure, I don't think the probabilities are as meaningful as they once were.

Currently we live in a universe that seems almost made for our existence. Could be that the most ancient original lifeforms created it for that purpose. And maybe not. But the hardest part of the task can apparently be done quite easily.

You are not seriously suggesting that this structure is 1. life, or 2.contains the same level of encoded infomation we find in DNA, or 3. is DNA?

Aparently you are suggesting that life will then be created by all we have to do is toss in some contaminants, and we can start building DNA.

Is you last name Frankenstein?
