The Basic Building Blocks of Life

Life needs protein chains to create the d and a that is the basic building blocks of all life. You need some kind of complex molecule that you can create and recreate in order to be a blueprint for creating an organism. If somebody just gave you a pile of legos, and they were only just those little, thin, one pieces, you couldn't really build anything. So our list of requirement so far is like an energy source for some warmth, some raw materials with enough complexity in them, and then just enough time, yes?
