re: Creationist Ken Ham blames atheists and ‘fake news’ for failing Ark Encounter theme park

That's not how abiogenesis would have to have happened. The first organisms would be prokaryotes which reproduce asexually through binary fission.

Unlike the process of mitosis used by eukaryotic cells, binary fission takes place without the formation of a spindle apparatus in the cell. The single DNA molecule first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicated and original chromosomes are separated. The consequence of this asexual method of reproduction is that all the cells are genetically identical, meaning that they have the same genetic material (barring random mutations).
