"God_is_real : The question is even deeper , however . Chickens have many proteins . Each protein is coded for by the DNA/RNA system . However , many specific proteins are needed in order to manufacture DNA/RNA . So which came first : proteins or DNA/RNA ? The logical explanation is that they were both created ."
"No , the logical explanation was already worked out by scientists several decades ago . RNA was theorized to be able to perform both informational and catalytic ability , thus serving the biological roles of both DNA ( information storage ) and proteins ( biocatalysts ) . The theory was confirmed , I believe in the early 1980s , when ribozymes - catalytic RNAs - were disovered . And since then , scientists have been able to evolve in the lab a ribozyme that is capable of copying part of its own sequence . They are getting close to confirming the theory that an RNA molecule can serve as the information store and the catalytic machinery for its own replication ."
