You can add RNA to the ‘soup’. You can add DNA to the ‘soup’. You can even add membranes to the ‘soup’. But, for one, they will never assemble into a coherent, correctly assembled cell. And even if they could, you still wouldn’t be anywhere near creating life, because you have not introduced into those molecules … information.””
