Rabbi Moshe Averick is comprehensively revising Nonsense of a High Order: The Confused, Illusory World of the Atheist (Mosaica Press). He asked if I know of interesting citations from 2015, explaining that he has put quotations in chrono order going back to 1934.
If readers can help, please put the quotes with links in the comments box.
I’d suggest looking at some of Suzan Mazur’s recent work at the Huffington Post, including
Origin of life: Highlights of Suzan Mazur’s interview with researcher Corrado Spadafora
and
Suzan Mazur: A non-linear language needed for life? Meet Luis Villareal
Her book, The Origin of Life Circus is an excellent source as well.
There might also be something here. The Science Fictions series at your fingertips (origin of life)

Hi News,
Is he asking specifically for quotations regarding the origin of life?

The existence of linear and digital sequences in life is a fact, an experimental fact, and all biologists acknowledge it. It is equally a fact that linear and digital sequences that direct the synthesis of molecules do not exist in the inanimate world, so it is beyond dispute that a divide does exist between life and matter. It is the divide between the analogue world of chemistry and the digital world of life, and it is not a fiction. The problem is the origin of that divide, not it’s existence.

OT: Dr. Giem has new video on ORFan genes:
New Genes Are Essential 6-13-2015 by Paul Giem – video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qgGPV1AO1E
It has been noted that ORFan genes (genes that are not related to genes in other organisms) are common. Research on fruit flies shows that a substantial portion of those genes are essential for development, raising the question of how so many of those genes can evolve so rapidly.
