It is unlikely that natural conditions 100% identical with the "lab conditions" ever existed. Similar conditions may have existed, but then the scientists should prove, at a minimum, the stability of the phenomenon of "self-replication" with respect to a (variable) set of conditions. Let's hope that the experiment itself can be... replicated, because other than that, it doesn't prove much. Of course, some secular trolls will praise their "luck-god" for creating their "right conditions" somewhere... sometime... after the "lucky" big bang.
