Of course, all this is highly speculative. Science doesn't know how life started or when. It just seems incredible that fairly complex life could pop up on its own in 600 million or 300,000 - based on all probability calculations I've seen there's no difference.

Do you have a link to a probability calculation? The way that Dawkins suggests life could have started in a Selfish Gene has always been a highly satisfactory/plausible explanation for me.
