Over many years and probably trillions and trillions of chemical reactions, more complex molecules, and more stable molecules, formed.
The very first synthetic polymer came about when a scientist reacted cellulose, in the form of cotton, with nitric acid. The result was cellulose nitrate. Often times, as soon as something is invented, the first thing we do is figure out a way to use it to kill people. Such is the case with cellulose nitrate.
