Where is life from? The human souls has been puzzled by it for thousands of years. It is because the opinion about life’s origin is the foundation of one’s outlook on life, which influences and determines one’s entire life.

Through great efforts of bioscience researchers, a giant leap1 has been made in the study field of origin of life over the century. But just as what was said by Orgle that“almost everything else about the origin of life remains obscure, Little is known in certain about neither the physical environment in which life evolved nor the detailed steps that led from unconstrained abiotic chemistry to the biochemistry with systematical complexity ” in vol. 439 on nature2.

In The Profound Mystery Of Life3, We have discussed in detail why water is of great importance for life. It is because that water is not only a necessary ingredient of organism, but an important environment for life’s activity as well, in which various elements of life meet and then integrate each other during the formation of life. Without water, all the matter mentioned above could not be realized. To interpret that water is one of the physical environment for life’s evolvement, we must prove that water had formed first, and then the organic substance of life came formed on the earth。

Are you proposing we need proof that a very simple and basic molecule composed of 2 Hs and 1 O (H-O-H) might have formed before complex organic molecules (composed of, for example, a vast number of arrangements of multiples of C, H, N, O, S, P) ?

I don't think you'll find any disagreement with the idea that there was liquid water present prior to the emergence of life on Earth. In fact, even biblical Creationists would agree with that one. Since every living thing on the planet is based on aqueous chemistry, I think most of us accept the prior existence of water as a given.

 

What I don't understand is why you think this is such a mystery

jianggh86,

What came first, the fish or the pond?

the pond, of course.

unless there were already fish somewhere else and then a pond was formed by rain.

In The Profound Mystery Of Life3, We have discussed in detail why water is of great importance for life.

 

Good grief! You can find a discussion of the importance of water for life in any biochemistry text! The biochemistry text I had 37 years ago did this!

Been done. Evidence of sedimentary rocks and water erosion of basaltic rocks predates the earliest fossils of life found.
