Yeah true that it´s central and a precursor in a scene. But DNA would never self assembly, especially into something of useful information, it could not be stored without a cell membrane and it could not be transcribed or replicated without enzymes.
Its like having code with no computer, it simply WILL NOT compute alone.
Biomolecules of life came first before the evolution of the cell. Perhaps I should do something on the origin of cells itself
yeah try to find the mechanism starting life :)
