And the simpler chemicals formed into amino acids how?

And how did the proteins form?

Not to mention that as the larger and more complex, a molecule becomes, the more chemicals it takes.

So all those simpler chemicals bumping around form larger ones with much more space around them, thereby decreasing the chance of interaction between them.

Since the rate of reaction is partially dependent on temperature, concentration of reactants, and surface area of the reactants, it goes to reason that as the reaction progresses, it slows down.

So while there may have been some reason to expect the initial reactions of reactants to form some slightly more complex compounds, may have occurred, the probability of the reactions to yet more complex compounds decreases.

Not to mention that proteins are synthesized within the cell. Unless you can demonstrate that they have been know to actually form by themselves outside the cell.

Chemical reactions.

Peptide bonds between amino acids.

No. No matter how long the protein is, it only takes the addition of one amino acid to make it longer. Two molecules.

So all those simpler chemicals bumping around form larger ones with much more space around them, thereby decreasing the chance of interaction between them.

The amino acids would be in great excess over the protein, driving the reaction.

Actually as temp goes up, the rate of reaction increases

It is a chemical reaction. We don't know what the conditions were that long ago.
