That depends what you call life, and what you mean by DNA. Some viruses are RNA-based rather than DNA-based, but some people don't think of viruses as life-forms. Prions don't have nucleic acids at all, but even fewer people would call them life-forms. The problem here is that we tend to define life in terms of DNA, rather than vice-versa.
There aren't any cellular organisms that don't have DNA, but that's because DNA works so well. Any DNA-less single-celled critters have long since been devoured into extinction.
Fair enough. Can we therefor agree that Watson's proof is valid for the probability/improbability of the necessary data self-forming in the DNA of the first cellular organism? - Southack
"Any DNA-less single-celled critters have long since been devoured into extinction." - Physicist
I've seen no proof of that assertation. Can you offer any proof or is that merely your opinion of early life?
