>Well, if electricity is all we need, lets recreate the early "primordial soup" environment it in a laboratory. Lets see if we can get life form from non-living material. Or at least some basic building blocks that stay intact for a while.

Actually, the experiment was carried out some 50 years ago. After a week of bombarding the "primordial soup" with electricity, amino-acids appeared. This is the first building-block of life.

Pressumably, to get "real life", the experiment would have to be done on a much larger scale. Like, an object the size of a planet, and bombarding with electricity not for a week, but for a few million years. In other words, it might be difficult to get an accurate replication of the conditions of primitive Earth.

>Maybe so but, how did the first crucial molcules form that started life to begin with?

See above.

>Without oxygen the basic building blocks, such as amino acids (which by the way has to be "left handed" to be viable) would break down because UV ray and other damaging solar rays would come in unhindered.

There might be protected areas. I think the current theories hold that life originated in the seas. The fact that you mention might be one reason for this. The need for water, another.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
