• Where do organisms come from?
• How do organisms propagate?
Then God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit. And God saw that it was good.
And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures…..So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves... And God saw that it was good.

The Greeks devise the theory of pangenesis:
~ 400 BCE
“From every part of the body are produced particles which Mix with the bodily fluids … and are carried by them to the testicles.... The offspring resembles its parent because the particles of the semen come from every part of the body. (Hippocrates, VII, 471-75).”

1944 Schrödinger asks “what is life?”
“…. I do not expect that any detailed information on this question is likely to come ……… in the near future.”
“……living matter, while not eluding the ‘laws of physics’ as established up to date,
is likely to involve ‘other laws of physics’ hitherto unknown…...”

DNA is the hereditary chemical!1944
