Experiments have failed to create any kind of natural guiding DNA that can assemble molecules in such a way to be self replicating in any certain order. 'Successful' replications do not result in anything planned or useful, just lifeless sludge. Currently, the ONLY way we can start to replicate life is using material from other live cells.This is a good place to link Broocks mentioning Dawkins, because origin-of-life researchers also mention Dawkins which is the astrobiology connection. The essay we will be quoting from is Iris Fry, "Philosophical Aspects of the Origin-of-Life Problem: Neither by Chance Nor by Design" (Handbook of Astrobiology, 3.1)
