The problem a lot of people have is they think the origin of life is much more complicated than it actually is. The beginning of life didnt include highly developed single celled organisms. We know that organelles like mitochondria have their own DNA and were at one time seperate from cells, so 'life' started long before the first cells came around. The origin of life includes simple things such as the Kreb's cycle or RNA. All life needs to get started is a self replicating chemical cycle. It wouldnt be difficult for something like the Kreb Cycle to develop in the presence of organic molecules, water, and an energy source. |
We don't know that. We highly suspect that is the case. There are other possible theories on the matter. They just aren't as likely. However they are possible.
We wouldn't know that for sure until we actually can replicate it to see it happen.
