Philosophy Wire: Life-molecules. Where did they originate? And why it does not matter. (at all)

Where do the molecules required for life originate? It may be that small organic molecules first appeared on earth and were later combined into larger molecules, such as proteins and carbohydrates. But a second possibility is that they originated in space, possibly within our solar system. A study shows that a number of small organic molecules can form in a cold, spacelike environment full of radiation. [1] Pushing the important questions backwards. For someone else to answer. Does it really matter where and how did life originate? If you saw a miracle in front of your eyes would you question how it happened? Analyzing the miracle does not make the miracle disappear. It just makes you blind to the miracle… (while someone else takes your place in admiring it) Sit back and relax. There are no miracles. Because everything is a miracle.
