Since coal and oil are remnants of ancient life, this type of organic matter was thought to arise only from living organisms.

Or, coal and oil are *not*. :')

So, hydrocarbons and water are among the basic building blocks of the universe.

And, are closely related to the basic building blocks of life forms.

So while the universe beyond earth looks to be a cold dead debris field, the building blocks for life are there already. Waiting for us to get there I suppose.
