Indeed, it's unclear how the two outermost planets were able to take shape.
Just shows the big issue with what we think we know. We have a models based upon our limited knowledge of things and people act like they represent truth.More variability in planets - and planet creation - than we'd thought.

Hard to see the warehouse when you're stuck in your own matchbox.
For the most part. For some science is the answer as well these days.The difference I see is that religion is the answer.
Science is the possibility.
Well, every generation thinks they are the pinnacle of society.
To young people, the old ways are bad because they're not new. To old people, new ways are bad because they're different.
The mysterious object "may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization," Harvard researchers say.

Given enough time, and enough iterations, there's a statistical chance. The question is whether there has been enough time, and enough iterative cycles.Then consider that you do get random organic compounds, how do they randomly organize themselves into something as complicated as DNA? And how does that randomly create life?
Funny thing though. I've been watching a few lectures on proteins. I'm not in any sense knowledgeable in biology, but it seems that proteins need to fold in just the right way for their polarities along the protein chain to function properly. The interesting part of the most recent lecture I saw was that when the protein chain is immersed in H20, the proteins will assume/revert to the form necessary for function, repeatedly. It happens every time and is not dependent on initial conditions. What I took away from the lecture was the importance of liquid water to life.
