13 Theories About The Beginnings Of Life On Earth

13 Theories About The Beginnings Of Life On Earth

We all have theories about why people do the things they do, how the world works, about what will happen in the future. We create these theories to make sense of the complex and confusing world around us. Some theories are more outlandish than others, but at their root, they all share one common purpose: to help us understand what's happening around us.

Have you ever thought about where life on Earth came from? Scientists have theories about how it all began, and we're going to talk about them in this article. We'll also explore some of the challenges scientists face in trying to piece together the origins of life. So, if you're curious to learn more, keep reading!

For people without the deepest of faiths, the answer to the origin of life remains unknown. With estimates of 6,000 years ago to over 3 billion years ago, it all started sometime, somewhere… But how? These 13 theories about the beginnings of life will hopefully lead you down a path to an answer you’re cool with.

PANSPERMIA CRACKED.COM We might be the descendants of aliens. Panspermia (or seeds everywhere) argues that life originated in space and was deposited on Earth by comets and/or meteorites. — Source: lkouniv

12

NECESSITY BE CRACKED.COM A series of contributors at MIT claim that life (following the laws of nature) evolved out of necessity, rather than through any freak occurrence. Their studies have shown that populations of atoms, when exposed to energy, shuffle and re-organize themselves, and they suggest this will eventually lead to life. — Source: futurism

11

HYDROTHERMAL VENTS CRACKED.COM According to the Nature Reviews Microbiology journal, these deep-sea vents spew carbon and hydrogen, which are keys to life. Studies of these vast and diverse ecosystems in the ocean suggest that life originated within these vents. — Source: futurism

10

LIGHTNING CRACKED.COM As was shown in the famous Miller-Urey experiment in 1952, electric sparks can generate amino acids and sugars from an atmosphere loaded with water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen, so lightning may have been the spark that helped create the key building blocks of life on Earth. — Source: livescience

CLAY THEORY GRAGKED.COM In 1985, organic chemist Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith at the University of Glasgow, proposed the first molecules of life might have met on clay. Mineral crystals in clay could have arranged organic molecules into organized patterns, and after a while, the organic molecules began organizing themselves. — Source: livescience

8

CREATIONISM CRACKED.COM In Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, God created the universe and all living things (with many believing he did so in 6 days). Fundamentalists or Young-Earth creationists hold that the sacred text provides a flawless account of how all life came into existence roughly 6-10,000 years ago. — Source: humanorigins

7

OLD EARTH CREATIONISM CRACKED.COM While they believe the sacred text is a flawless account of how the universe and all life came into existence, they're a hair more scientific by accepting that the 6 days of creation are metaphorical, and could represent very long periods of time. These creationists accept evolution, but God was the catalyst. — Source: humanorigins

6

COACERVATES CRACKED.COM Within the theory of Biochemical Evolution, this theory suggests that life began as organic molecules that aggregated together and were bound by water layers in a primordial soup called coacervates. Coacervates can grow by absorbing nutrients, and are an intermediate between molecules and — Source: lkouniv

5

RNA Transcription DNA RNA Protein Translation GRAGKED.COM DNA needs proteins to form, and proteins need DNA to form, so how could they have formed without each other? According to Molecular Biology of the Cell, the answer may be RNA, which can store information like DNA, and serve as an enzyme like proteins to help create both DNA and proteins. But how did RNA get here? — Source: livescience

4

SPONTANEOUS ORIGIN CRACKED.COM This theory suggests that life could have come from nonliving things, like decaying or rotting matter, straw, or mud. Prebiotic molecules under primitive earth conditions could have formed and become more complex. Several experiments have been conducted to disprove spontaneous generation, but some still believe. — Source: lkouniv

3

HINDU DHARMA BE CRACKED.COM Hindus were evolutionists long before Darwin, but the main objection to Darwinian evolution is that it sees consciousness as a product of matter instead of the soul. Life exists conceptually within God, and evolves in conjunction with the desires of the soul. For example, when the desire to see arises in the soul, the eye manifests. — Source: beliefnet

2

KHALAKHALI SAN CRACKED.COM The San people were the earliest hunter-gatherers in southern Africa, and they believe that people and animals once lived in peace under the Earth with Kaang, the Great Master of all life. There was light even though there was no sun, and during this time of bliss, Kaang began to plan the wonders he would put in the world above. — Source: maropeng

RADIOACTIVE BEACHES CRACKED COM Zachary Adam, an astro-biologist at the University of Washington, Seattle, claims that the gravitational pull of the moon (which was stronger when it was much closer billions of years ago) could have concentrated uranium on beaches. The energy from the radiation may have helped generate organic molecules and sparked life. — Source: animalogic
