"I just thought id ask if any of you guys know anything about the creation of the first life form? "
==> u already have to answer what is Life, before trying to know when it begins.
We can consider Life is caracterize by 1 main parameter :
AUTO REPLICATION
People think there were some molecules possessing some autoreplicative properties. They think they were RNA molecule that are know to support the genetic code in a lot of species (with DNA of course). Since this genetic code is shared by all the life form, ARN/DNA are considered to have appeared early (firstly) in the evolution.
The problem is that u have to create the 1st molecule before hoping any autoreplicative process. People think that was possible some +3.5 Milliards years ago when environnemental condition may have allowed the spontaneous creation of some of organic molecule such as acide aminés (Miller 1953).
I believe this piece text from wikipedia explains it better. It is very close "conceptually" to what I have learn in shcool and u can change the language :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_life
Note that all is about hypothesis and that experimental datas confirming these hypothesis are laking.
Time to Work !
