THEORIES ON ORIGIN OF LIFE
We know there are several theories for the explanation of origin of life this is because many of scientists has made several attempts have been made for the explanation of the origin of life.Some of them are:
1)Theory of special creation.
2)Theory of spontaneous Generation.
3)Theory of Catastrophism.
4)Theory of Panspermia.
5)Theory of Chemical Evolution.
The Five theories of origin of life is listed above.These theories as basics of assumptions.According to the Theory of special creation it was formed for the ancient scriptures in accordance to different religions.And the Theory of spontaneous generation it is assumed that living organisms are formed by sudden and spontaneous arise from a non-living matter.The Theory of catastrophism is a modification that has been made to the theory of special creation.Theory of Panspermia is life has reached this planet Earth from other heavenly bodies such as meteorites, in the form of highly resistance spores of some organisms.And the THEORY OF CHEMICAL EVOLUTION states that Origin of life on earth is the result of a slow and gradual process of chemical evolution. In these above theories the theory of chemical evolution is mostly accepted than the other theories.
The first theory that is theory of special creation in this theory the different forms of life that we found today in the earth,has been be created by the god.This theory is according to the ancient scriptures of all the religions.Let us consider,According to the Hindu mythology,it is believed that,lord Brahma,is the God of creation,how creates humans according to his wish.And in the christian belief,The god created this universe,plant,animals and the human beings.And the Sikh mythology is believed that all forms of life also human beings came from a single word of god.This theory is only according to the belief of religious concept and it has not got any scientific basics.
And,the second theory of spontaneous Generation it is believed that the living organisms are could arises suddenly and spontaneously from any kind of non-living matter.Aristotle the Greek philosopher was the firm believer of the spontaneous Generation.According to his belief the dead leaves falling from a tree into a pond that would transport into fishes, and that has been felled into soils turned into worms,and to the insects.And it is also the Egyptians believed that the mud of the Nile river which could spontaneously give rise to many forms of life.And the theory of spontaneously lost its significant in the course of time due to the experiment that has been conducted by Francisco Redi,Spallanzani and later by Louis Pasteur in his famous Swan neck experiment.The theory was disapproved because the scientist gave a definite proof that life comes from pre-existing life.
The third theory is simply the modification to the theory of special creation.According to this law there have been several creation of God,in which each is preceded by a catastrophe which resulting from some kind of geological disturbance.
According to this theory, since each catastrophe completely destroyed the existing life, each new creation consisted of life form different from that of previous ones.The scientists like George Cuvier and Orbigney where was the main supporter of this law.
And the fourth theorem that is the theory of Panspermia which is also know as the Cosmozoic theory.According to this theory the scientist Richter found that Life has reached this earth planet from an other heavenly bodies such as meteorites,which is in the form of highly resistance spores of some organisms.This theory was also supported by Arrhenius and other scientists.And this theory does not gain any support because this theory has lack of evidence and this theory was Discarded.

The firth theory that is theory of chemical Evolution which is also know as Physico-chemical theory or Materialistic Theory. In this theory the scientists A.l Oparin a Russian scientist and an English scientist J.B.S Haldane proposed that the Origin of the life on earth is due to the reason of slowly and gradual process of chemical evolution which may be occurred about 3.8 billion years ago.Considering to other theories it is most accepted theory by the scientists and the scientists are still continuing there research for new theories.
