Just like you, ABF, I find all the different discoveries of the universe absolutely fascinating. Some of the recent scientific novels to come out had me skimming (I won't even pretend to understand what they talk about) for pictures and being amazed at stuff like String Theory.
The hardest part about life arising from nonlife is the 2nd (?) Law of Thermodynamics, or something, the law that says everything in the universe goes through entropy (or however you would say it). Basically, things become more disorganized as time goes on. So the chances of something progressively becoming more organized are slim.
Or that's how I understand it, which is possibly way off base.
