Origins

Where does life come from? A very original question.
If someone created it: the question remains: How did the creator do it? If someone brought it along through space, how did it emerge where it came from?
Although the answers given by Freeman Dyson seem to be the best ones so far, combining the origin of  heredity/replication with the origin of metabolism, the quest for the origin of life seems endless.
So lets look for some interesting creation Myths. In my rather cheap edition of a mythology book creation is the first chapter after the introduction. How original again.
If you take a closer look at the myths, it seems that they focus on different aspects of the origin of what we consider to be the universe.
For a start let us discuss the Egyptian myth of Nun. What is the difference between the primal soup and the primal sea? What is the difference between Maat and Miller? Both intended to create order from chaos.
Unfortunately there is a documentary on ORF III tonight, that I cannot miss. It is on a completely different topic, but I promise to continue to discuss matters of the origin of life in this blog.
By the way, today the Bauernbergpark Man asked someone for a cigarette close to where I live. For him, I think, the universe is created anew every day.
