This mechanism says nothing about the origins of life. It presumes that you have living beings already, who reproduce with random variations. It says nothing about how you get these living beings in the first place.
The first living beings were very complex physical systems, with a large number of very complex molecules. What explains how these first living beings -- and the very complex molecules that they contain -- came into existence? Did these first living beings result from a random coming-together of atoms?
