Sure, I’m alluding more towards, for example, the existence of hydrogen itself versus the beginning of life on earth which comes much later.

Why would you need to go back to the formation of matter to understand how life formed billions of years later?

Because the existent of hydrogen might be more unlikely than the existence of the resulting life.

What does that have to do with it. When you want to figure out what the climate was like 2000 years ago the existence of a mountain might be relevant but explaining it's formation millions of years ago is not required.
