Where did those original amino acids come from? Stardust?

There has to be a God that "Always Existed", we are fact of it because we exist. We had to have come from something, you fail to realize this simple concept brother.
heres a good artivle explaining how the molecule formamide, the simplest structure containing the required four building blocks of life -- carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. can create guanine at 130 C in the presence of ultra violete light.
http://news.discovery.com/earth/life-rna-ultraviolet-light.htmlit also talks about how previous experiments were able to create adenine, cytosine and uracil the other 3, but not guanine.
"Previous studies have already shown how heating formamide in a mineral stew creates most of the ingredients for ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA. RNA is thought to have served as an early operating system for life, later joined by the more robust deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, genetic coder.
Missing from the formamide brew, however, has been guanine, one of RNA's four critical ingredients. (The others are adenine, cytosine and uracil.) One lightning rod for guanine's creation, scientists discovered, is ultraviolet light."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MillerUrey_experimentyou can find more information about the origional experiements done with out ultraviolet light at the above link, called the Miller Urey Experiment
"After Miller's death in 2007, scientists examining sealed vials preserved from the original experiments were able to show that there were actually well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. That is considerably more than what Miller originally reported, and more than the 20 that naturally occur in life.[7] Moreover, some evidence suggests that Earth's original atmosphere might have had a different composition from the gas used in the Miller–Urey experiment. There is abundant evidence of major volcanic eruptions 4 billion years ago, which would have released carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere. Experiments using these gases in addition to the ones in the original Miller–Urey experiment have produced more diverse molecules"
if your question is more to the point of how does something come from nothing, its like if you go out to your yard and dig a hole, at one point you had nothing but now you have a hole and a pile of dirt very similar the idea of space, and matter. you could also look into zero point energy or vaccume energy and virtural particles for more information on how we can see in our everyday life atoms defying the law of conservation of matter in a sense.
though in such an event that your bias blinds you to the fact that if something cant come from nothing neither could have god, it likely dosnt matter what i say, your going to belive what ever you want.
