Interesting indeed. I have not read all of the arguments to the end of this thread yet (still working on it) but wanted to address this statement while it was fresh in my mind at least.
Please ignore if this has already been resolved.
I personally believe that life and its precursors are being continuously created. The problem is that any new "Life" that forms from random confluence has an astronomically small chance of being capable of competing with previous random "Life" forms that have had opportunity to improve themselves through natural selection.
I hope I am not missing the obvious here
