Thought I would give ai a shot, so used Bard and asked one simple question. Wording and specifications are important. So, how does one go from primordial ooze to human without adding genetic material? Seems like a fair questiin since we're all supposedly here thru happenstance. Conversation follows.
What observable process adds genetic information to an existing mammals genes? No theoretics please, only replicate and observable facts.

Currently, there are no known observable processes that directly add genetic information to an existing mammal's germline DNA (the DNA that is passed on to offspring) in a way that is replicable and verifiable.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
I will go further, they can't create life at all right now. They don't know how to create the sugars, they don't know how to create most of the base components. Even if you ignore that and give them every component they still can't make life. Even if you assemble it for them they can't make life. Think about this, you can give them a single cell, and just let it die, we know it was viable, so just bring it back to life. Surely thats easier than creting it from scratch! THEY CANT because they don't even know what life is! There is 0 material difference between a dead cell and a living one when it first dies. They just know one, replicates and moves and uses energy while the other doesn't and decays.
A Joke comes to mind that I heard in Seminary once:
