Several people posted that abiogenesis is impossible.   But they failed to explain exactly why it is impossible.

If you think abiogenesis is impossible can you please give a detailed explanation of why DNA or RNA type molecules could never ever be formed under any circumstances.

Do not be afraid to get too technical.  I did collage level chemistry and have a good knowledge of biology, and if you go past those levels I am more than willing to learn something new.

BTW, I also have an excellent understanding of math and probabilities, and I am aware that there is a vast difference between improbable and impossible.


So, come on and educate me.

Well you see, it's impossible because the Bible claims otherwise. And as we all know, the Bible is 100% fact. Couldn't possibly be any contradictions or absurdities in there. The authors couldn't possibly be lying. Hilarious, but those are the only answers you're gonna get. Complete and willing ignorance.
