    I was watching the Documentry on The Discovery Channel and they said life most likey started from minerals on an asteroid which crashed into Earth

    Religous people will say Adam and Eve

    So how did life end up on earth

    That is the Question

    A combination of abiogenesis and evolution.

    Let's write our own version of how life started. I'll begin:

    The Flying Spaghetti monster was flying through space. When he passed over the earth, his period started. It splodged onto the earth.....

    Evolution is where life comes from? Way to show how much smarter you are than those nutty religious folks, you have an excellent grasp on science.

    Without a time machine it would be impossible to know this, all we can do is theorize or alternatively say a magical man in the sky did it.

    Opportunity to educate yourself. Take a few minutes to understand something about your world. Alternatively you can go look at pictures of cats.

    Depends on what you define as higher being and as good. Is this higher being super natural or natural? It's a valid theory as no one can say for certain that didn't happen because we cant prove it didn't happen. No one will be able to ever prove what "started life". We can come up with theory's and maybe even possibly demonstrated them some day, for example create life in a lab in accordance to some hypothesis, however there will always be questions and no definitive answer.

    So is it a good theory? Well any theory is possible but I wouldn't call it a logical one if it involves a super natural being, but that's just my opinion.

    Do you think it's a good one?

    We came from the same place as everything else we see in the universe came from. Our bits are just assembled differently

    yeah but should life not exsist on other planets in our Solar System then and assemble differently to suit other planets?
