Science (origins of life)

When Did Life Begin: A key question often asked is, “When did life begin?” Another question is, “When did is stop beginning?” or “did it?” If life is so difficult to start that it only started once on earth, perhaps life on earth is unique. Or perhaps life is easy to start, then why did it stop creating itself?. Perhaps most newly created life is quickly eaten by the life that’s already here. Some surviving perhaps as pro-proto bacteria (proteins) successfully scavenging energy from its environment. Life is only a self-sustaining exothermal chemical reaction, getting the energy it sheds from sunlight, volcanic vents, or other life.
