Single cell organisms, like amoeba, can live in the most extreme conditions and you'll commonly find them living near underwater volcanoes. Naturally, cells experience random mutations as genetic strains are corrupted or form differently. Sometimes this leads to a stronger life form, which survives. Speed this up a few million years and we're crawling out the water on our bellies. Speed it up a few more million and we're monkeys building huts.
Shit.


Not to mention that, asking an evolutionary scientist to explain the random formation of proteins and life is similar to asking a gynecologist to perform open heart surgery. They don't study similar areas, they don't try to and they don't claim to.
