• Counter-Example(s):
  • Biological Evolution Process, which requires existing living organisms unlike abiogenic chemical evolution processes.
  • Industrial Chemical Synthesis, which uses designed procedures rather than spontaneous organization of abiogenic chemical evolution processes.
  • Mineral Crystallization Process, which lacks organic molecule formation central to abiogenic chemical evolution processes.
  • Radioactive Decay Process, which destroys rather than builds molecular complexity needed for abiogenic chemical evolution processes.
