OK smarty pants. How complex does a molecule need to be to self-
replicate? Because every time I see this dodgy argument from
ignorance, some fundy nut does some maths that shows that a full DNA
strand is highly unlikely. And guess what, no shit. Once there's so
much as one self-replicating molecule/structure, then evolution can do
the rest. No one thinks that a DNA stand formed itself in one magic
moment

Go look at some chemistry books relating to crystal seeds, clay, super
saturation. There's lots of complexity and borderline self-
replicators around before we even look at catalysts.
