1)Animo Acids are the base of all life on earth, hell I learned that when I was 6.
2) the ocean covers mountians, in fact it once covered the whole freaking world but you don't get it this life is found deeper than any other there for it came first as NO other life is as old as it. AND guess what it was singled celled.
I would consider Nucleic acids more important to having life than amino acids, especially in single celled organisms. In single celled organisms they would have to have a thick cell wall, which relies on peptidoglycan, or they'd never withstand the water pressure. They would also need some sort of bilayer, commonly using lipids, in order to withstand the isotonic salt concentration of the sea water. A few amino acids collecting could not spring to life, there would need to be several other components in precise amounts gathered at the same time.
Yes indeed the oceans did cover the whole world. Called Noah's flood. Want proof? Check into Mount Ararat. Sea life did come first, but that doesn't mean in any way that it evolved into land life. That is a jump in logic based on pure conjecture and not one sngle fact. How in the world would anyone know it was even there if it was single celled? A single celled organism, after being dead for a very short time, can be classified as dirt. I have no idea how anyone could possibly claim to have discovered ancient remains of single celled sea life buried deep within the earth. There is no proof of this whatsoever.
