Detailed explanation-1: -One of the accepted scientific theories describing the origin of life on Earth is known as chemical evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Life is coeternal with matter and has no beginning; life arrived on Earth at the time of Earth’s origin or shortly thereafter. Life arose on the early Earth by a series of progressive chemical reactions. Such reactions may have been likely or may have required one or more highly improbable chemical events.
Detailed explanation-3: -The clay hypothesis suggests how biologically inert matter helped the evolution of early life forms: clay minerals form naturally from silicates in solution. Clay crystals, as other crystals, preserve their external formal arrangement as they grow, snap, and grow further.
Detailed explanation-4: -The modern theory of chemical evolution is based on the assumption that on a primitive earth a mixture of simple chemicals assembled into more complex molecular systems, from which, eventually came the first functioning cell(s).
