it is the absolute impossibility of arranging some millions of molecules into at least half a million DNA pairs in the exact way necessary to produce a living thing.

And, again, for perhaps the 100th time, you have failed to produce your proof--or even any particularly suggestive evidence--as to why I should think that the beginnings of life could only have been a prokariote being instantly assembled out of organic spare parts.

For one thing, non-life cannot 'evolve'. YOu need a complete living thing to start off the life process and that requires at a minimum some half million DNA pairs. We do know that there is no needful arrangement of these pairs as regarding chemistry. We do not know of any DNA even in non-living things. Besides the arrangement of the DNA problem you have a few others in achieving life from non-life. One is that it takes more than DNA to make a living thing. You need the proteins, and the whole organism for life to work and be able to replicate itself. You thus have a chicken and egg problem here. In addition you have the problem of RNA reading the symbolic DNA code. This is impossible without a designer.
