This link explains the discovery of an observable mechanism of how RNA can spontaneously form in the primordial soup that must have existed in the early Earth’s environment:

The said experiment produces RNA bases in the lab using ONLY the same ingredients as existed in the primordial soup.
As far as I am aware, his is the first time this has been done using ONLY the same ingredients as thought to exist in the primordial soup -please someone correct me if that is wrong.
