Theories abound as to where the raw material came from that created our Universe but no one has been able as yet to come up with any conclusive answers. So for the time being at least
the most fundamental question regarding the origin of life will remain unanswered.
The two main protaganists in the eternal creation/evolution debate in the West have generaly been the Darwinist/evolutionary supporters and the God/creationalists. Darwinists mock the God/creationalists for having no scientific basis to build their claims on, while on the other hand the God/creationalists are quick to point out the scientific flaws in the evolutionists evidence such as the 'missing links' in the fossil record and the way some species seem to have 'fast forwarded' geneticaly with no evidence for the intermidiate stages of development, ( It's interesting to note how the three main staple crops of the world - rice, wheat and corn seem to have just magically 'appeared' round about time in history with no evidence for their natural origin and even Darwin himself admitted towards the end of his life that there was fundamental problems with his theory )
However, have we been looking in the wrong place for that answer ?
The science of Darwins day was based on the deterministic/predictable world of Newtonian physics, but since the beggining of the 20th century this has been steadly replaced by the weird and wonderfull world of quantum mechanics turning much of the conceived scientific wisdom of previous times on it's head
Does
William Blakes famous 'quantumesque' poem give us a clue......
To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour
My guess is that it does.
