The hypothesis is that coding molecules predate cell membranes.

So we have “every current cell membrane requires the nucleus” and “the coding portion came first”; nobody is disputing that membranes build on membranes, just pointing out they integrally depend on the nucleus to operate (coding for proteins) — and always have.

Ie, this is wrong.



There was a time when there was no nucleus, and no DNA. But there were membranes and RNA.
