My point still stands, this is not what people will think you mean when you say ATP is being used, is functioning in a protocell. I don’t need to keep digging, you need to respond…
Was what I said unclear? Or irrelevant? Important functions are not optional, and I provided a reference saying homochirality provides important function.
It is.
Having arms are important. Yet the worm lives fine without them. They therefore are, in fact, optional depending on context.
Please prove that there cannot be a lifeform, or an intermediate stage between life and non-life, without homochirality.
Yet it has been accomplished, so it cannot really be all that hard.
