Genetics absolutely did open up more questions than we have answers for - but it also presented us with the tools to answer those questions. That's why it was such a powerful discovery, and why it's addition to evolutionary models turned modern synthesis into the unifying theory of biology.
Where did your genetic material come from, personally?
(why would you make that assumption you made above, btw?)
My genetic material came from the same man that yours did. That would be fact. Before that?...now you are into theory.
My assumption? Since the more we realize how complex life really is, the more unlikely there are alternative methods to getting to that point. Scientist can't figure out how the origins of life came about when they have all the ingredients sitting on the table. Imagine having multiple sets of independent building blocks of life.
