It's a really excellent summary of the development of cells and complex life forms.
I am not a religious person, but I do love great mystery stories, and the origin of life is certainly one of them.
Just in the last few years, laser light flash speeds and nano-cameras have reached a point where many basic molecular processes can be photographed in real time.
Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to use those photographic processes in organic chemistry because the process usually kills the cell or the molecule they are trying to study.
Thank you! I agree that abiogenesis is interesting to look into, and even when we have natural explanations, it's still hard for our minds to comprehend just how all these processes came together in such perfection.
And like I said, the more we discovery, the more questions pop up.

Case in point. For the life of me, there's some photographs I can't imagine how we obtain. (Remember the "Miracle of Life" video from high school reproduction class?)
Now compare that to what we didn't know for the whole of human history. The speed at which we're unraveling once-unknowable mysteries of the universe is awe-inspiring.
