    Well, the Miller-Urey experiments give us an answer to this.
    They showed that organic molecules can be created by discharging electric sparks in boiling water, methane, hydrogen and ammonia, which happens to reproduce quite well the conditions that prevailed on the early Earth.
    He showed that this could produce aminoacids, sugars, lipids, nucleic acid bases. There are your basic building blocks.

    The point you miss is different theories can exist at the same time, both being right in their area of application. Each one represents a different approach, a different model of reality, with its advantages, uses and caveats. Classical physics has its own limits, quantum mecanics too, and same goes for all other commonly accepted theories. Thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, particle physics, all are about the same reality, all have different abstractions, and all are useful, depending on which problem one has to solve.
