that amount of power would seem to COOK life, not create it.

See #175. At the stage I described above with Miller-Urey, this is just the point where the building blocks are made, very simple chemical reactions. Once the amino acids are formed from this point, natural chemical reactions occur which don't require this massive of an external trigger. Simple chemicals combining by way of electrons being shifted around.

Yet there is still a large leap from simple chemicals to actual life.

Plus, there must be, by definition, a large amount of extra material to compensate for 'mistakes' should an improper combination be made.

Please understand I'm not trying to tell you you're incorrect, it just seems that mathmatically, the right combinations occuring at the right time under exactly the right circumstances receiving the exact amount of electricity required to even begin life would be, well, astronomical.

Just MHO, of course.
