Therefore, this paper will focus solely on theories that are substantiated with evidence. The three most prominent and well supported theories argue that life came to existence inside hydrothermal vents, hydrothermal impact crater-lakes, and terrestrial, anoxic geothermal vents; these theories claim that life originated inside Earth and this notion is well supported. The…
