Abstract:
The problem of the origin of life can be determined today as a fundamental interdisciplinary problem. It is clear that this problem should be solved in the context of the evolution of the Universe. Life, as cosmic phenomenon, is the result of successive stages of cosmic matter development, from the Big Bang to the formation of the first living cell. This evolutionary process was realised by the successive formation of more and more complex hierarchic structures which passed information from the preceding to the next stage of evolution. This views the origin of life as a phenomenon based on fundamental physical and chemical principles. These principles governed the basic molecular blocks of the ancestor of primordial organisms. All Nature had to ensure was the creation of sufficient quantities of organic substances for evolution purposes.
