Neutralmind, you wrote:
This just popped into my mind. There are lots of computer modelling of weather, galaxy formations, ecosystems and such. But has there ever been a decent attempt to make a computer scenario/model of abiogenesis happening? With all the chemicals reacting and such. Even if only to a very primitive stage, has it been done?
If not, why? The formations of galaxies and atoms reacting must be as hard to model as chemical reactions resulting into more complex forms and eventually to "life".
I think you are asking for quite a lot here. Given my own predisposition on abiogenesis, I'd have to say that you are focusing too heavily on the mechanical parts (I've bolded them in your quote) and not enough on the encoded instructions”the genes. Building just one protein without a gene would be something like building a Boeing 747 without an instruction manual.
