My understanding is that this process didn't really come into existance but stayed in existance. Countless other arrangements failed to replicate and endure.
We both agree the process exists. The overwhelming evidence is that species evolve over time. We can conclude that this is the process that won out evolutionarily or that God did it.
I suggest God did it requires the most faith and incidentally more likely leads to a stifling of curiosity. God did it might possibly be true but it is the refuge of the incurious. It can be used at every turn. It can be used to answer all 'why?' questions. And thus it is singularly the most incorrect answer in history. That's why God did it requires the most faith. It has been wrong so often that I wonder why it hasn't been discarded for the intellectual crutch that it is.
No, not really. Quite the contrary actually. It would be very unlikely that a volatile and nonreplicating molecule would be the carrier of biological information through billions of years.
