Astronomy : Did Chemical reactions that led to creation of living cells and life took place in space and on stars?

There a lot of complex discussions regarding the origin and creation of universe and life forms and living things in it including humans.

These mainly include religious and scientific views.

Most of the time there is an overlap between these two views as well.

There is a little doubt that the formation and development of the Universe and its subsequent life forms / living things was a complex process.

If we analyze the complexity of the universe, it came into being by mixture of different elements and chemicals and compounds.

These elements  are found in both living and non – living things.

Eg calclium can be found in bones and teeth  of human beings and it entes the body by consumption of calcium containing foods. Similarly egg shell which is a non living object also has calcium. 

Haemoglobin which is found in red blood cells of human beings  / living things has iron. Iron is also found in non living objects such as utensils. These elemenst are found all over the universe and have vital part in both living and non-living objects.

Similarly a lot of chemicals are formed from combination of more basic chemicals.

Before the creation of complex Universe and human civilization including complex life forms in Oceans and seas like fish and whales and air like birds,and land , a lot of basic chemicals were created in the Universe as a result of complex chemical reactions.

These simple chemicals then combine to form more complex chemicals that resulted in creation of a genius atmosphere that led to origin of life on land ( which includes ours and other land creatures(,sea and water.

There is little doubt that all the Universe is functioning under  complex laws of physics and other sciences and creation of life forms was the result of calculated chemical reactions and creation of elements and chemicals over a period of time which probably took place in the space and on environment of stars over a span of millions of years , as now scientists are discovering from research done in Universes and Meteors.

On 23 April 2019 , an asteroid broke up into numerous pieces in the sky.The research on the components of  these fragments gave amazing results suggesting that they contain complex amino acids and other chemicals that ultimateluy led to creation of the life on the universe.

The results of this study is given in the article below :

Some important points from this article are given below :

On 23 April 2019, an asteroid the size of a washing machine broke up in the skies over Costa Rica. Dozens of fragments , chock full of primordial carbon ,l anded along a 6-kilometer-longswath between the villages of La Palmera and Aguas  Zarcas .

Aguas Zarcas, as the fragments would soon collectively be called, is a carbonaceous chondrite, a pristine remnant of the early Solar System. The vast majority of meteorites are lumps of stone or metal. But true to their name, carbonaceous chondrites are rich in carbon—and not just boring, inorganic carbon, but also organic molecules as complex as amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. They illustrate how chemical reactions in space give rise to complex precursors for life; some scientists even believe rocks like Aguas Zarcas gave life a nudge when they crashed into a barren Earth 4.5 billion years ago.

From the beginning, the inky Aguas Zarcas resembled a legendary carbonaceous chondrite that exploded in 1969 over Murchison, an Australian cattle town. Geology students helped collect about 100 kilograms of Murchison, and a local postmaster mailed pieces of it to labs across the world. To date, scientists have recognized nearly 100 different amino acids in it, many used by organisms on Earth and many others rare or nonexistent in known life. Hundreds more amino acids have been inferred but not yet identified.
