I didn't say anything about the question of the origin of life being irrelevant, but nonsensical, in that if consciousness (which can also be framed as life-force, rather than seeing those as two distinct subjects) IS fundamental, and thus is the first-mover, then conceiving of an "origin" of it is a category error, as space-time would be made FROM it, rather than being the substrate within which it appears.

It is not a discarding of the question but a recontextualizing.
