The origin of life

Scientific discoveries of evolutionary chemistry and biology give grounds to assert the unity of living and inanimate nature. The appearance of living matter from inanimate causes the complete dependence of the first on the second. And experiments conducted under the guidance of Academician A.I. Oparin on the artificial reproduction of life from inanimate nature have shown that, under appropriate conditions, life must inevitably arise anywhere in the vast universe. However, nature rarely creates such conditions.

The peak of the creation of the nature known to us was the appearance of man on Earth. So far, this is the only creature that is aware of itself, remembers the past, lives in the present: and thinks about the future. This circumstance obliges a person to take extremely careful care of the preservation of life on Earth. Nature has rewarded man with reason and thus made him responsible for his future fate, for everything that happens in the living and inanimate nature in the conditions of the Earth. And today the time has already come when everyone living is obliged to realize their personal involvement and responsibility for the preservation of the biosphere as their own habitat.
