ANSWER:

Scientists are now of the opinion that life originated from inorganic molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Scientists now think that "life on earth" originated around 3.5 to 3.9 million years ago.
  • According to scientists, "building blocks of life"(amino acids) were first formed and these combined to form the compounds essentially needed for life on earth.
  • There are many scientists who also think that the first organic molecules on earth came from meteorites.
  • There are however many scientists who also think that some of the "building blocks of life" may have been formed abiotically on earth.
