Lets presume that all creatures descended from a single cell.

Given that all life on earth uses the same four amino acids, it seems
no other assumption is tenable.

How does
this explain where the control algorithms comes from? What is your
mechanism - the nature selection force that naturaled all this first
common ancestor into existence.

The origin of life is at present not completely understood. It
occurred once, somewhere on earth, a long time ago, and all traces of
that origin were long ago obliterated. The conditions on earth at the
time life originated were utterly unlike what they are today, and in
fact the exact nature of those conditions is not perfectly understood.
Of course, strictly speaking, the theory of evolution does not deal
with the origin of life, only with "descent with modification". The
study of origin of life itself is a different discipline altogether.
Asking evolution to explain the origin of life is like asking a car
mechanic to explain the molecular structure of steel alloys.

You will probably tell me that
evolutionary theory don't deal with abiogenesis - that depends
entirely on what you define as evolutionary theory. Until you define
evolutionary theory I would have no idea.
