What do you suppose the odds are of a lightning strike producing a
single single DNA (the basis for everything we recognize as being
"alive") molecule from some random glob of "soup"?

Gazillions to one, minimum. That much juice fries/explodes anything
it touches, including _stone_.

Life globules come from something a wee bit more subtle, I gar-on-tee.
