Hi Mark;

Over billions of years … and constant environmental interactions:

Mutation + Natural Selection = Increased Information.

As pointed out by Szostack's Abiogenesis Theory, no complex protein machinery is needed to get the process started .. and for life functions to commence. This dramatically alters the 1 in 10^30,000 figure argued by Peter's colleagues.

Cheers
