“I have said for years that speculations about the origin of life lead to no useful purpose as even the simplest living system is far too complex to be understood in terms of the extremely primitive chemistry scientists have used in their attempts to explain the unexplainable that happened billions of years ago.”
Dr. Ernst Chain
Ernst Boris Chain was a German-British biochemist and Nobel laureate, known for his work on penicillin.
