The lifelong question of the origin of life is concerned with how life on Earth might have emerged from non-life sometime between 4.4 billion years ago.
| | Abiogenesis - is the formation of life from non-living matter. Today the term is primarily used to refer to hypotheses about the chemical origin of life, such as from a 'primeval soup' or in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents, and most probably through a number of intermediate steps, such as non-living but self-replicating molecules (biopoiesis). The current models of abiogenesis are still being scientifically tested. |
| | Big Bang - a cosmological model of the universe whose primary assertion is that the universe started from a tremendously dense and hot state, and has been expanding ever since. The term is also used in a narrower sense to describe the fundamental 'fireball' that erupted at or close to time t=0 in the history of the universe. |
| | Cosmogeny - the term refers to theories of creation of the Solar System |
| | Creationism - the belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their entirety by a deity or deities (typically God), whose existence is presupposed |
| | Common Descent/ Evolution of Life - All organisms on Earth are descended from a common ancestor or ancestral gene pool. Current species are a stage in the process of evolution, with their diversity the product of a long series of speciation and extinction events. |

Doesn't Big Bang also say the random collision of atoms/molecules/something like that caused a reaction that developed in to organic matter?
