Life is all around us. There&#x27;s hardly a crevice too small, too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright where we don&#x27;t find it.<p>But we have absolutely no idea how life got here. Pick any starting point in the earth&#x27;s history and try to spin a hypothesis for how cells came to be from organic molecules and other stuff lying around.<p>You can&#x27;t do it at a high enough level of detail to even attempt the most rudimentary experiment.
