Question

How are atoms/molecules able to create a living organism?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

Way back in time, various atoms came together, possibly randomly, into a form that could make copies of itself. That copying process occasionally had minor errors that made molecules that were better at producing copies of themselves. After many aeons of time that copying process, and the errors that occasionally happened, made life as we know it.
