El milagro de la vida según Villegas: ciencia, conciencia y mucho escepticismo

In today's program, Fernando Villegas reflects on one of the greatest enigmas of existence: the origin of life on Earth. He traces the history of the universe from the formation of stars and the planet, explains the main scientific hypotheses about the emergence of the first self-replicating molecules, and highlights the role of RNA as a possible precursor to life. He also expresses his conviction that life is likely abundant in the universe and delves into a philosophical reflection on consciousness, the value of living beings, and humanity's responsibility to protect nature. The episode combines scientific popularization, personal opinions, and references to future programs on the UFO phenomenon.
