Chirality of biomolecules and Origin of Life

[immortal]

It seems chemists very well understand about chirality and producing a particular form of chiral enantiomers.

What is the common consensus about the origin of homochirality in biomolecules among chemists. Did homochirality preceeded origin of life or was it a consequence of life itself. What do you think?

So far as I know chemists are working with different hypothesis about the origin of chirality in life:

• A parity violating energy difference does that one isomer was selected over the other.
• A fluctuation in a far from equilibrium system near a bifurcation point selected one.
• Circularly polarized light generates asymmetric stereoselection via photochemical processes.
