| In modern science, the hypothesis of the abiogenic (non-biological) origin of life under the influence of natural causes as a result of a long process of cosmic, geological and chemical evolution is accepted – abiogenesis. The first stage of the emergence of living is associated with chemical evolution, resulting in the formation of various hydrocarbon compounds. The second stage of the emergence of living is associated with the appearance of protein substances. The third stage in the emergence of life is associated with the formation of the ability of organic compounds in self-reproduction. For all existing organisms, this direction of information flow is characteristic: DNA – RNA – protein.
