How did evolution make the jump from no life to life?

Currently unknown. Although this has turned out to be a fruitful field of scientific research in terms of the many interesting things that have been learned along the way, there is no general consensus, and no complete and satisfactory theory able to account for "biopoesis" or "abiogensis" (the origin, presumably by some sort of "chemical evolution," of life from non-life).

"unknown"

And will remain unknown for obvious already proven reasons.

One of which I stated the other night and no one stepped up to the plate to deal with it.

Without even going into the complexities of how to deal with replicating instructions sets, let's just try this one aspect:

Assuming you could get the proper combination of amino acids to assemble themselves in one place and "lightening struck", the myelin sheath (that also magically appeared) couldn't last 2 minutes, yet the said structure is now supposed to replicate and remain viable enough to continue that replication.

Nevermind that Darwin himself said that if there were any significant jumps in the process of "natural selection", then his THEORY couldn't be true.
