Where Do We Come From?

Abstract

How did life originate on Earth? Was it the result of supernatural creation? Or are we the product of deliberate planting by advanced terrestrial civilizations? If life is the result of divine intervention, did life appear suddenly with all its functions and capabilities, or had the diverse forms of life on Earth developed over time from certain holy seeds? If extraterrestrials are involved, are we a duplicate of their forms, or were we created as an experiment? If so, did they actually visit Earth or did they deliver their experimental ingredients programmed with specific instructions to this planet by a space probe? Alternatively, maybe we were products of accidental developments, arising naturally without design. If so, what was the initial mix of ingredients? How complicated were the ingredients? How did these ingredients get to the surface of Earth? Were they present when the primordial Earth was formed, or could they have been brought here after the formation of Earth? Could these externally delivered ingredients include primitive life forms such as bacteria?
