It's amazing that under the right circumstances a simple non-living molecule can be shown to transform into an amino acid in a lab. From there, I haven't the slightest clue! But, if the building blocks of life can form from non-life in a lab, its seems reasonable to think that under the right circumstances more advanced complexities could also follow. Again, this compared to magic? I'll take this. Next question!
And what will happen to you upon your death?
Hmm...I don't know for sure. But I don't remember what happened before I was born and that doesn't seem bad, so I guess I must assume that it will be similar to that, if not the same. I have a subjective sense of a state in which I am not alive, I will assume without penalty that the latter state will be the same. Next question!
