For  the first time, an important component of amino acids known as carbonic acid has been spotted in space. 

They have found carboxylic acids. Carbonic acid is an example of them.  They form the backbone of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.  

“Carbonic acid also plays a key part in our breathing system, transferring carbon dioxide from the blood to our lungs so we can exhale it, and has a crucial role in atmospheric and geological processes, ”

A new study reports that NASA's Perseverance rover has found a diverse menagerie of organic molecules in a Martian crater. .

Organic molecules are composed of carbon, and often include other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.

" They are an exciting clue for astrobiologists, since they are often thought of as building blocks of life," study lead author Sunanda Sharma, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena”

  However she said that “they can be created by processes not related to life.”

It seems  that a naturalistic origin of the solar system is wrought with difficulties.
