I wouldn't predict the existence of self-replicating molecules either. In fact, I'm not sure I'm in a position to predict anything at all about physical phenomena without appealing to empirical knowledge I've gathered from this particular physical world.

It's a pickle, all right.

OK: "does not predict" was not strong enough. In each case, the opposite is predicted.
