How did life begin?

[Randy]

Four billion years ago, something started stirring in the primordial soup. A few simple chemicals got together and made biology – the first molecules capable of replicating themselves appeared. We humans are linked by evolution to those early biological molecules. But how did the basic chemicals present on early Earth spontaneously arrange themselves into something resembling life? How did we get DNA? What did the first cells look like? More than half a century after the chemist Stanley Miller proposed his “primordial soup” theory, we still can’t agree about what happened. Some say life began in hot pools near volcanoes, others that it was kick-started by meteorites hitting the sea.

Thoughts? How did life begin?

Haven't you heard a story about a Rib, a Snake and an Apple? Hint: It has nothing to do with the Snow White and / or Steve Jobs.

There's so many theories that we will never even begin to know. Life is an extremely complex concept and to speculate on how it began is ridiculous, well that's my opinion.

I am sure some super smart scientists could figure it out one day.

I doubt it, science itself is built on theories with very little fact.

Be more optimistic

Be more optimistic

I should be lol, I’m too straight forward and stuck in my ways.
