"No. Fundamental. Without the first protein, you can't get to the first virus."
And as I demonstrated in a post that you have yet to respond to publicly there is no barrier to the evolution of the first protein because it did not evolve by chance alone as you claim, but by the specific application of non-random mechanisms.
You had claimed in a previous post that if this were the case you would believe evolution. Do you in fact now believe evolution?
