The Clay Theory is the evolutionary idea that life began in clay....Not quite, but you guys are getting close...We were made from the ground,...but it didn't arise on it's own...keep trying out there....you guys keep getting close...
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field,
Genesis 2:19
"The first molecules of life might have met on clay, according to an idea elaborated by organic chemist Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. These surfaces might not only have concentrated these organic compounds together, but also helped organize them into patterns much like our genes do now.
The main role of DNA is to store information on how other molecules should be arranged. Genetic sequences in DNA are essentially instructions on how amino acids should be arranged in proteins. Cairns-Smith suggests that mineral crystals in clay could have arranged organic molecules into organized patterns." LiveScience
