Stephen:
The articles seem contradictory, unless:

1) L-amino acids were generated in outer space, travelled millions of
kilometres to Earth, and then fell into a volcano or hydrothermal vent (all
the while preserving their left-handedness), where>>

Why not ? Please explain why these amino acids would change their left handedness ?

Stephen:
<<
2) they were synthesised into peptides which joined up to forms a self-
replicating protein, which

3) somehow managed to team up with separately originated piece(s) of
RNA, which

4) in turn developed genetic code(s) which

5) started to synthesise those self-same proteins!

You must surely aware of some of the excellent work which has shown that such is hardly as far fetched as you sound it to be. Fox and others have gone through many of the steps required.

Stephen: Now *that* would be a miracle! Who said materialist-naturalists were
unbelievers?>>

Nice strawman dear Stephen but little miracles are needed. Certainly none like 'God did it', that would be a true miracle.

The only true miracle here is your strawman.
