Reply to comment by ChemicalRain5513 in Is it possible that abiogenesis is still happening right now on earth? by dolekanteel
There is no evidence that the ocean was ever filled with amino acid and nucleic acid. Also, there are a lot more possible amino acids and nucleic acids than the 20 amino acids and 5 nucleic acids we use. We would expect living beings coming from a different abiogenesis to use different ones.
