Where did DNA come from? Please read the rest of the question before answering!?

Question

Lets say somehow the 20 different Amino acids that form proteins, formed the proper proteins that became a simple one celled lifeform.
This is a big stretch, since the simplist bacterium has 30,000 different proteins.
DNA is the coded instructions for replication, growth and assembly of all future generations.
The most efficent information storage system in the known universe.
In the orginal bacterium, there would not have been any DNA to evolve since it was the first of its kind and DNA is inheritied.

Where did it come from?

You can't argue it evolved since according to evolution there must be a originator that was then acted on by the forces of natrual selection.

What originated the DNA?

Clay crystals evolving into RNA is about as ridiculous a theory as I have heard.

DNA is information with the precise order for the precise machinery to build the incredibly complex biological life.

It is transcripted by RNA, proteins are assembled in Ribsomes, and transported to where it is needed.

If any part fails, no organism.
If in the incorrect order, no organism.

Inanimate clay crystals becoming the highly complex DNA molecule is really believing in fairy tales.

If it were so simple why haven't scientists be able to create such a scenario under lab conditions.

Answer 1

i like that thats where God comes in

Answer 2

DNA organisms probably developed from RNA organisms, which in turn developed from something else. What that "something else" might be is unknown, and may never be known; the descendants have pretty much taken over the biosphere and there isn't much left of earlier forms to be able to tell. It is virtually certain that scientists will be able to create some sort of life within the next hundred years or so; that will give some useful clues as to how it might have happened in the first place. There are three things on which scientists agree: it isn't necessary to suppose any sort of divine intervention to start things rolling; it would be a violation of the laws of physics if one did; and it is provably useless to suppose any such theory.

Answer 3

You should definitely check out The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. Here's an excerpt from a review that addresses your question:

"Dawkins illustrates Cairns-Smith's theory that self-replication originated in clay-crystals. According to this theory, RNA came before DNA, and it was originally simply a passive element, but then eventually took over the self-replicating chore because it was more efficient than crystals. And then evolved into today's DNA code. One of Dawkins' most durable contributions to his age is to have abstracted this idea. A replicator needs to build a survival machine for itself (the body). Indirectly, that survival machine opens new possibilities for self-replications, just like accidentally crystals invented a more efficient kind of self-replicator, RNA."

Answer 4

DNA is a very good reason to say that GOD is responsible for life on this planet..you dont see life on mars do you or the moon..? that because we are special and it doesn't take a scientist or a einstein to figure it out ..oh they want you to believe you have to but a child knows better than alot of these so-called scientist..deductive reasoning ( logic ) tells you that there's something bigger than you and me going on here .

Answer 5

Great article in scientific American on this this month. It may be on line too.

The first "living" molecules were no doubt much simpler than the amino acids in DNA. But they were naturally occurring molecules with the amazing property of binding with other atoms to self replicate. Because of this ability to self replicate they were able to dominate other naturally occurring molecules over the ages.

Did a creator God set all of this in motion? It is certainly possible, and that would be much more impressive than a god that goes poof and messes with the laws of physics whenever he wants to change something.

Answer 6

It relies upon on the question. See, if it is somebody soliciting for a itemizing of videos or music, I study first so as that i don't repeat solutions and that they get the biggest decision of diverse suggestions as a risk. If it is greater of a "what's Your Opinion?" question, I basically variety as i've got faith.

Answer 7

DNA is just a collection of atoms, like any other compound. The one defining characteristic of it is that the way it is connected makes it very easy to replicate itself.

The same can be said of crystals. However, the strict structure they need to maintain and still remain crystalline does not allow for the variation necessary to evolve.

Answer 8

Why do you think there's life on this planet? DNA is the simplest template from which all life dissesimates its existence from. All we know is that organic molecules and the atmosphere fostered early life thus giving rise to the evolution of organisms

Answer 9

some kind of lightning strike, which is why for the longest time, humans worshipped Zeus and others like him. Or perhaps the life-giving rays of the sun, which is why, for the longest time, humans worshiped Ra and others like him.

It can happen, you know.

that bacteria used to be a plant, and one day, it lost its chlorophyl and then he had to become a "bacteriovore". MUAHAHAHAHA!

I had fun with that.
God is a hider. I'm a seeker.

Answer 10

If you're attempting to leverage this puzzle into another wacko proof for the necessity of creation, you're goofy. Lack of direct knowledge is not a reason to make presumptive leaps into nonsense solutions but rather it is the springboard for investigation.

I believe the answer you're looking for in this case has not yet been found, but I trust that it is being looked into by a great many people, and that they are better trained and skilled than you or I. With time, the answers will be less of a mystery and until then I prefer to wait for the evidence. How about you...?

Obviously an invisible big bearded sky daddy created it.
