Reply to Is it possible that abiogenesis is still happening right now on earth? by dolekanteel

I think anything novel must compete with well adapted, established organisms using a limited set of resources that the existing organisms recognize as food.

I believe there must have been more than one abiogenesis in the beginning, but only one was ultimately successful. Kinda like how there were many branches of Homo, but we are the only ones still around. I can't picture a scenario where one chance encounter leads to life as we know it. I can picture a situation where the conditions were conducive for life, many were nearly there, several would be defined as life now, and only one found success and dominated.
