DNA, there is NO scientific answer for random processes to create DNA. In my journey through life I always wondered why pretty much every science fiction series or books always seemed to have in it that life on earth was seeded by aliens. It was a very common theme throughout science fiction. I was curious as to why. If it was settled that DNA evolved from nothing then why all the stories about aliens? Even as a young man it didn't make sense to me. As I got older and started asking questions and studying science it became clear there is nothing natural about DNA. There is no process in nature that could create a code like DNA. Random chance processes? Really? It seems completely silly. And it dawned on me that despite being an acolyte of the cult of science and intractable that the very idea that DNA came from nothing is hard to justify for anyone that is smart enough to write or truly appreciate good science fiction. So all the stories about the earth being seeded from space. It has come into the mainstream a little bit despite there being ZERO evidence DNA started in space or was seeded by aliens.

So that is a major one that science has no good answer for. There are hopes and dreams and wishes but no hard science that suggests you can take a rocky earth 4 billion years ago and from natural processes at work end up with DNA.
