[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

You are making a transparent attempt to hijack the thread.

Me? Would I do that? Actually, not. I was simply pointing out to dmz that his point applies equally in both directions.

Anyway, water, under 53 atmospheres of pressure, naturally forms itself into lengthy double-helix molecules.

Irrelevant since there's no evidence that the early earth, whatever age you wish to attribute to it, had 53 atmospheres of pressure upon it.

Toss in some impurities and you've got DNA ~ squeezed into existence through universal forces.

Er, no. It's a bit more complex than that, and this still wouldn't explain the naturalistic formation of the "impurities" you'd need anywise.

Betcha' God can do that kind of thing.

He could also turn you into the Staypuff Marshmallow Man, but he didn't (at least to my knowledge).

On Earth, atmospheric pressure changes rapidly by about one atmosphere for every 10m of depth in the ocean.

So, the Early Earth, once an ocean of 530 meters (about 1700 feet) had been formed, would have had plenty of room for DNA creation, and still does.

You did know the ocean has MILLIONS of different viruses ~ just filled to the brim with them. Where are those genes coming from?

And what does the Huck think about that?
