What is the Origin of Life?

Tags: life, created, origin, God, evolution, how

The lifelong question of the origin of life is concerned with how life on Earth might have emerged from non-life sometime between 4.4 billion years ago.

	Abiogenesis - is the formation of life from non-living matter. Today the term is primarily used to refer to hypotheses about the chemical origin of life, such as from a 'primeval soup' or in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents, and most probably through a number of intermediate steps, such as non-living but self-replicating molecules (biopoiesis). The current models of abiogenesis are still being scientifically tested.
	Big Bang - a cosmological model of the universe whose primary assertion is that the universe started from a tremendously dense and hot state, and has been expanding ever since. The term is also used in a narrower sense to describe the fundamental 'fireball' that erupted at or close to time t=0 in the history of the universe.
	Cosmogeny - the term refers to theories of creation of the Solar System
	Creationism - the belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their entirety by a deity or deities (typically God), whose existence is presupposed
	Common Descent/ Evolution of Life - All organisms on Earth are descended from a common ancestor or ancestral gene pool. Current species are a stage in the process of evolution, with their diversity the product of a long series of speciation and extinction events.
