How is it, that both all the plants on the planet and all the animals on the planet Evolved from a Chemical soup, which in the first place had no propensity to support life?

As for this Laboratory Generation of "the Building Blocks of Life" IE: Amino Acids, synthesized RNA and DNA, first of all These hardly count in the argument, its biological fact That life Doesn't come from non life, or am i mistaken, show me one scientist who can synthesize life and i might be inclined to believe you, but you've only further build my case FOR a creator.
Oh bout Vestigial organs.... Those are fun id like to see you defecate without a tail bone, and as for the appendix argument, its about as vestigial as an atheist brain, its very clearly a part of our immune system sure you can live without it, but can you live without an immune system.
its like taking a single cell out of your brain, sure you'll get along fine.... but give me a few million of them, we might notice a problem

I'm still waiting for someone to find a new invention when a tornado hits a junk yard!!!
Hey, if they can make "something like the World, out of nothing, then with the "big bang" theory, the tornado should make a new invention every time it hits a junkyard...Or, even a mall... (Maybe they didnt look hard enough?)
I wish you well..

Who told you it had no propensity to support life? the precursors of life arose by the same process that evolved later organisms. I suggest that you investigate evolutionary chemistry, before you type such erroneous assumptions. You will now hear from the younger evolutionary biologist, who do not mind typing so much. I have less and less patients with the ignorant, now days.
PS How does the inability of science to synthesis life in the laboratory support your case for a creator? Your argument from ignorance marks you as stupid. Show me this creator, creating life. Amino acids and synthesized DNA/RNA is surely a lot closer to synthesizing life than you creationist morons have ever shown. Did not think I would catch you sneaking in here hours later, so you could have the last word? Think again, twit.

How do you know it didn't? There are all sorts of organic chemicals floating around, even in deep space, and over the course of billions of years, organic chemicals in an energetic environment of early Earth could combine into more complex ones (in fact, geneticists use this propensity of amino acids to join together into DNA in a process called a polymerase chain reaction to copy DNA for research) Viruses are simply free-floating RNA or DNA molecules with a protein coat, so it's not much of a leap of the imagination to think that something very like a virus came from the "primordial ooze," and over millions of years of evolution and mutation developed into a very simple single-celled organism. Multiply that by millions of these types of cells and some of them either competed or preyed upon one another or cooperated in symbiotic relationships until they became inseparable and became more complex organisms. Some may have found it easier to survive in great numbers or ones that grew a tougher outer coating adn became multi-celled organisms. The problem that a lot of people have with imagining evolution is because they want something that can be demonstrated in a laboratory, but we simply don't have the abiliity to accurately replicated the conditions of early Earth in a lab, nor do we have the lifespan to watch it if we did (we're talking about millions of years and tens of thousands of generations for little changes in a species... you try doing that in a lab sometime. Let me know when you're all done what you find)

First of all, evolution does not address the origin of life, only the changes that happened after it got started. This is one of the glaring errors that anti-evolutionists keep making, apparently because they are incapable of learning anything new.
As for the origin of life, it isn't that much of a stretch to conceive of simple molecules forming, not by accident against montrous odds, but by chance combinations of normal chemical reactions between various common materials which acquired the ability to copy themselves. The latest estimate is that life started on earth about one billion years after the planet formed. That's a very long time, which increases the probability that it could form.
For the next three billion years, though, life never got beyond single-celled organisms. Something happened only 600 million years ago that resulted in multicellular life, and that something was probably by sheer accident; in fact it may have been less likely than the origin of life itself.
Imagine, all the wondrous variety of living things today might never have existed but for one mysterious event in the remote past (for us, not for the earth) which could easily have never occurred at all. Amazing - but not a theological argument, in case you were wondering.

Plants, animals, fungi, protists, and eubacteria and archaebacteria evolved from a single life form. That's evolution. The origin of that life form is only hypothesized. One hypothesis you're describing is abiogenesis. What basic evidence do you have, not available to the best researchers, that the soup had no propensity to support life?

How can it be? Well, the evidence shows that it did.
So the 'how' is the Theory, or the explaination.
That is often called 'Darwinism' or since the discovery of genetics it is called 'Neo-Darwinism'.
Pretty much any biology textbook will help, or check out www.talkorigins.org.

random interactions over billions of years.
just like that old saying about a million monkeys on a million typewriters.
