I posted a question on ResearchGate that gets to the heart of the origin-of-life debate:
What is the most rigorous, severe test for proving generative capacity in origin-of-life experiments, not just component formation?
That question matters because too much of this field still lives off a quiet substitution. Researchers produce amino acids, lipids, nucleotides, or other chemical building blocks, then speak as if they have moved significantly closer to explaining life itself. They have not. They may have shown that some parts can form under selected conditions. That is not the same thing as showing that those parts can organize into an integrated, autonomous, generative system.
