rephrase:If all living organisms came from a simple cell than how did it survive if it did not had previous genetic information?
I mean you can't survive if your not accostumed to the enviroment, especially for the first cell.

You see, natural selection was not able to work if there where no genes to choose from. If did not had the dominant genes than it wouldn't survive.

Lets say a simple organism such as a Prokaryote, how did it manage to survive? Please do not offend because I'm not offending you.

Hey Great, wow, so your saying we came from viruses. Viruses are simple cells (don't have a life) and need cells to reproduce. Both are different things.

Did you also know that in the first enviroment there was 0% oxygen? The scientist said this because then they can assume that nothing oxidized... Ha Ha Ha

The process by which the first proteins became organisms isn't known, there are theories but none can be proven at this point. Likely, there were many cellular developements, however, the one with the ability to replicate would have been the ancestor to life on earth. Essentially, this is evolution in action, and a certain amount of that is luck. Reproduction on the cellular level would provide for future genetic variance. Initially, there would have likely only been one "organism" for lack of a better word. Random chance probably lead to multiple different variations, none of which were capable of surviving long term or were unable to replicate, based on this idea, all life on earth didn't necessarily come from the first life on earth... it may have come from a later "chance" of life, while others failed. Oh, and for Desperado: Primitive cells don't require a mate... they merely consume "building blocks" and replicate themselves. Genetic variance would occur after generations of mutations or small variations resulted in new lifeforms. Asexual replication.

Because if you were smarter than a 9th grader (the year most people take Biology) you would know that DNA is comprised of Deoxyribonucleic acid (I think that's it). Anyway, the structure of DNA (the first DNA was VERY primitive and simple) could have easily fallen into place within any random event. And based on the environment of Earth at the time of the first formation, chances of this happening were very high. The DNA eventually became more complex and evolved over billions of years and then we got more complex organisms.

There are things in the middle. Viruses are arguably both alive and not alive. I think that is what you were asking.
Added: well based on what you added that isn't what you are asking. Most simple life divides or buds. The main source of gene changes is mutation. But again I am still not positive that is what you are asking. You really might want to get a basic Biology book, so that you understand it enough to ask questions that make sense.

The first simple cell was a random by product of certain chemicals mixing. This was verified by some guy who sealed up water and other minerals into a glass container. He then ran electricity through it and in a few weeks, amino acids began to form and combine into genetic material.

All creation is effected by a cause. However, logically there has to be an uncaused element which preceded all creational causes. This uncaused element has been defined by God by religions all over the world. God being the preceding cause would have arranged everything in perfect order. Life and the environment in which life is to survive are organized to complement each other in perfecr harmony.

The cells that could survive the environment lived to reproduce and pass on that DNA.
EDIT: I'm sure many many cells died while some lived on to eventually lead to us. It's not like they all lived. Some cells, somewhere on Earth were in the right place at the right time basically.

OOL - Origins of Life, at ~3.7 bya, during an era of planetary turmoil with fragile entities, no longer has evidence. OOL is not well enough known for even your assertions to be correct, much less your questions to be relevant.
