Description

How did life begin?

Through the metaphor of water, this thoughtshort explores the origins of life. Like a river – can we trace life’s origins back to its source?

It poses that, even if we knew everything – the real question at the back of our minds is not ‘where?’ or ‘how?’ but … ‘why?’

Possible Discussion Questions

  • Have you ever thought about where life came from?
  • Do you agree that the real question for most of us is not ‘how’ or ‘where’ but ‘why?’
