How about these three alternative theories which could have been
caused in many different ways from naturally to some God or aliens;
Abiogenesis (Greek a-bio-genesis, "non biological origins") 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.

Isn't this more the idea that the elements need to begin life were
seeded from outerspace. Those seeding elements then *combined* with
the conditions on earth and started this stuff we call life. The
"seed" wasn't life in of it's self.

spermia/seed is probably misleading. We should say that possibly
elements from outspace landed on the earth and those elements coupled
with earth's conditions and created "life".
