Bear with me on this.
Ok, so it seems the common consensus among the evolution theorists that somehow a bacteria or some other thing managed to come to life on the ball of lava. They cite the critters that can live and reproduce near underwater volcanoes.
Ok, let's say that there IS a bug that started it all, living in the hot conditions or maybe it came along afterwords when water formed.
It was a tiny bug...just a single celled organism. Uh, WHAT did it eat? I mean, there were no OTHER things for it to munch on. Maybe it ate water or dirt or chemicals. HOW did it get a digestive system? I mean, it was first, right? It's not like it "adapted" to the environment.
Possibly fatty acids and monomers.
One way how it might have happened:

Didn't read the whole thread. IMO the most difficult component of evolution for most people to grasp is the time factor. Earth was undoubtedly a lucky planet in terms of its size, composition, relative position and orbit to our sun and again lucky to get a moon which to my limited understanding acts as an additional agitator upon the Earth. (But these things weren't so lucky as to indicate a guiding hand, just lucky from our perspective.)
The time factor is where people really get hung up, it is as equally important as all the other factors that led to life on this world. In the great depths of time countless galvanochemical and biochemical reactions can occur. If you want to be grateful for our happy accident that is fine but I think it is a little more than too much fantasizing to imagine more than that.

It just seems lucky. The conditions necessary for life here might not be the only formula. Perhaps this is just the Earth's condition for life. Other planets might be different. Humanity needs to get out there and take a look at more places

I don't think this thread turned out the way Friar had hoped.

Had this evolutionary theory been true we would have uncovered fossilized versions of very early humans or other animals in odd looking evolving forms.
Fact is, science theorizes humans had early adaptive forms but all fossilized humans found suggest we suddenly appeared on earth with little or no variation from our human form today. Nothing excavated so far suggest humans evolved in such a way.

Thats not an evolution question you are askng.. Youre asking an origins question.
That stuff is still unknown and smewhat up in the air.

You mean something that looks like half way between early mammals and modern humans?

We were built upon what worked, not what didn't work..
