The origin of life was taught as the foundation of the theory of evolution until the logical point was introduced that the mechanisms themselves could not evolve. At that time the scientific community was forced to separate evolution from the processes presupposesd to exist and deliver "natural" explanations to link interdependent processes.So you were trying to merge chemical evolution and abiogenesis with the theory of evolution concerning speciation. I was clarifying the differences. More than once actually.
So obviously there is no biological processes before abiogenesis because biological implies living organisms.
But earlier, you were acting as if it’s the same and that it’s some kind of weak point in the theory of evolution.
But here's one little problem with your suppositions. Complex proteins can not persist without denaturation in an exothermic environment.
Abiogenesis actually requires fanciful worlds to have existed so that the highly specific combinants required to accidentally create proteins (like the RNA world) were in the specific concentrations necessary to create functional proteins at the correct temperature and pressure to create working tertiary forms which luckily combined to create more complex processes. Or more simply put, imaginary worlds with conditions that we can't replicate in a laboratory, and a biosynthesis that we can't duplicate? The old organic soup concept is a little problematic on a hot planet. Although decomposing organisms didn't exist before life, proteins are built through cold reactions. Once they're denatured, they don't automatically take their original form if they exist in any significant concentration, but will form interprotein linkages that destroy the tertiary form.
