Oparin and the origin of life - Cosmological considerationsThe question of the origin of life is examined on a cosmological scale from early observations made by Oparin. Even by a comparison of the amount of data presently available from telescopic and spacecraft observations Oparin's conclusions have been confirmed. The concept of panspermia is rejected and details of the role of carbon on earth are presented. Formation of C2, CN and CH is explained and various aspects of the atmospheres of planets are considered. Finally, the origin of amides, amines and other nitrogenous derivatives from hydrocarbons is discussed.
