life could arise by chance and <feedback> out of dead matter

[NewAmerica]

Does it mean "life could arise out of dead matter by chance and return to dead matter"? Seems not.

Thanks in advance

So far it is and ever will be the only explanation (including all religious explanation attemps provided gods are also life) how any life can start.

No, it's saying life could arise out of dead matter. And it could arise by means of (a combination of) chance and feedback. Feedback is where the result of one thing 'feeds' back to the thing to influence the next state. The previous state feeds (influences) the next state. In evolutionary terms, the body's adventures in the world feed back to help decide which genes get more success. One set of genes has a result (its body) which then influences the next set of genes. That's feedback.

I think the "feedback" being referred to is a way of describing the forces of natural selection. An organism randomly (i.e. by chance) mutates and if the mutation helps it survive and reproduce, it will pass on that mutated DNA to more offspring than an organism without that mutation. I suppose that's a sort of "feedback." I wouldn't use the word "feedback" there. It appears that Chris Butlak may not be a native English speaker.

Yeah. Living organisms feedback, and now the author talks about the feedback of dead matter. I also strongly felt his English is NOT native.

"by try and success" is not a typical English expression and the author studied and lives in Germany.
