Given that DNA is just a collection of covalent/ionic bonded aminoacids (that is, another collection of molecules), and it is present in every organic life form on the planet, I'd say yes it can, after all natural processes have lead to the evolution of the basic constituents into the strand of DNA, it's all about molecular bonding, nothing mythical about it, just plain electron sharing.

Well it's just chemicals that react properly together to get it, eventually it was bound to happen.

In the absence of our ability to create a planet-sized experiment for a few million years, the creationists are right to claim that we cannot be absolutely sure. However, by that standard we cannot be absolutely sure that the Sun runs on nuclear fusion either, yet we are comfortable reporting that as a fact.
The fact remains that their only justification for claiming it's not possible is the bullshit technique of assuming that chemical reactions are completely random, which they aren't.

MS- WindowsCan intelligent design occur naturally, without an intelligent design designer?
ok software
but Bill Gates is a little thick,,,rich, but not the sharpest tool in the box. He once said, that the biggest breakthrough would be to find a way to factorise large prime numbers.. eek!
