>>That’s not really dealing with it.

They deal with it by propping up the model with the usual facsimile of “a miracle happens here”.

Odd how, even with all our STEM, our technocratic self-worshiping culture can’t produce an RNA molecule from non-living chemical raw materials that can independently replicate itself into identical RNA molecules that sustain the LIVING process and produce multiple generations.

>>how it banged

That is covered in the quantum cosmology - but the ultimate origin of E remains a mystery.

Not really. Everything AFTER t=0 is covered... but t=0 (how, why, what banged) is not covered.

Don’t argue with me about it. Take it up with Alan Guth. He says it all the time.

No, what's odd is how you fantasize about research that's far beyond what has yet been discussed publicly.
So far as we laymen know, state of the art today is well beyond simple 1950s Miller-Urey, but still far from recreating basic tools of cellular reproduction.
