Everything you say here does make sense, however i can think of alternate explanations as well, and you are correct I don't really know. i say however that it takes just as much "belief" and "faith" to believe in a god like being as it does to be an athiest. It's just another choice that we must make because we could spend the rest of our lives pondering the question.
perhaps it is the case that for whatever reason evolution has favored those who do believe in a god. maybe it's becuase they can more successfully get on with their lives and the more important task of reproduction
Getting back to the subject of this story though, i do believe that this is in fact life. i think the only logical next step is to have various teams of scientists come up with their own self-replicating RNA and have them fight , then we can all start placing bets on which strands will win!
