Abiogenesis is a single phenomenon with a single goal: figuring out life
derived from non-life. Everyone who investigates it works for that specific
goal; the goal was accomplished, not by one person or lab, but by dozens of
persons each in dozens of labs. If a Nobel Prize were to be awarded simply
for the creation of life from non-life, you would be hard pressed to find
any one or two or six or dozen people who made the most significant
contributions; you would have to award it to a hundred or more. The same
was true for the identification of enzymes as catalysts, or are you
suggesting that because no one has won the Nobel Prize for that, enzymology
is untrue?
