The origin of life, in form of primary life sustaining constituents – water, hydrogen, methane and ammonia- can be comprehended easily , but still it is very interesting to grasp its transformation to varied complex organism we are witnessing today !!! Still, what is actual LIFE ? is matter of scientific deliberation or mystery sans plausible facts. Till then, another views will continue to confront us.
