1) What significance does Cosmic/Chemical/Biological origins (And there connection) have, in our endeavors for modern Science?
Why bother with adding in maths when you can just multiply.
Knowing how life originates for example can make it easier to find life elsewhere in our universe, why do we need to do that well our earth will be able to support us for about 2 more billion years at BEST. Then we have to find a new home if we want our species to survive. Now sure we could just terraform a planet but i suspect it would be much easier just to colonise a planet that already has life on it.
-Also, Vaccine products can be identified using relatively short cladograms in e.g. viral genomes, why is it then necessary to have a whole tree of life?
Why have a whole road map when you can just have a map showing locations of cities but no roads.
Knowing the relationships between species can help for example in experimentation when you just dont want to use say humans because it might kill them. You can use the next best thing that is closly related to us.
2) Could the current origin theories, in this argument, biological, be biased inferences fundamentally based on Darwinist ideas? I.e. Because Darwin observed the similar beaks, inferences regarding similar genomes on a global scale, follow in his evolutionary idea...
The Holy Grail of any scientist is to prove something accepted as Wrong its how you get known, get Nobel prizes, more likely to get funding for your next project. If someone would prove evolution wrong he would have money sticking out of his arse and be on the front page news in every country.
