| | Evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A central assumption of evolutionary theory is that life on Earth had a single point of origin; all subsequent life-forms are descendents of this progenitor organism. | | | Though the origins of life are murky, other milestones in the evolutionary history of life are well-known. | | | Before Darwin's argument and presentation of the evidence for evolution, religions almost unanimously discounted or condemned any claims that life is the result of an evolutionary process, as did nearly all scientists. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Life |
| | Having thus expounded what we believe to be the teaching of the best science and philosophy respecting the nature and immediate origin of life, it seems to us most important to bear constantly in mind that the Catholic Church is committed to extremely little in the way of positive definite teaching on the subject. | | | With regard to the question of the origin of life, the whole weight of scientific evidence and authority during the past half century has gone to demonstrate with increasing cogency Harvey's axiom Omne vivens ex vivo, that life never arises in this world save from a previous living being. | | | There are three grades of life essentially distinct: vegetative, sentient or animal, and intellectual or spiritual life; for the capacity for immanent action is of three kinds. |

| | Origin belief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An origin belief is any story or explanation that describes the beginnings of humanity, earth, life, and the universe (cosmogony). | | | However, "origin beliefs" may be generalized to include non-religious claims and theories based in contemporary science or philosophy—the Big Bang, origin of life, panspermia and theory of evolution fall into this category. | | | Origin beliefs commonly refer to creation myths— mytho-religious stories which explain the beginnings of the universe as a deliberate act of "creation" by a supreme being. |

| | Meaning of life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thus, the question "What is the origin of life?" has resulted in the Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution, which explain where the universe, sun, planets and human being came from, but which still do not account for the origin of the very first microscopic lifeform. | | | The decision to believe in such an authority is called the "leap of faith", and to a very large degree this faith defines the faithful's meaning of life. | | | Where scientists and philosophers converge on the quest for the meaning of life is an assumption that the mechanics of life (i.e., the universe) are determinable, thus the meaning of life may eventually be derived through our understanding of the mechanics of the universe in which we live, including the mechanics of the human body. |

| | HOS: Biology and the Origin of Life |
| | Science has always hesitated to ask, "How did life start." The origin of life has been bound up with religious beliefs even more strongly than has the origin of the earth and the universe and the confrontation over this issue is far from over. | | | However, the formation of life itself was rarely thought of as being entirely a divine prerogative. | | | Most early cultures developed myths telling of the creation of the first human beings (and sometimes of other forms of life as well) by gods or demons. |

| | Life After Death |
| | It is perhaps safe to infer that the time from the early origin of life to the ultimate creation of man, would perhaps be needed once again for the development of the soul after the death. | | | In fact the Holy Quran makes it amply clear that the form of existence of the life to come will be so different from all known forms of life here on earth, that it is beyond human imagination even to have the slightest glimpse of the otherworldly realities. | | | The question of life after death has always agitated the minds of people belonging to all religions and all ages alike. |

| | Origin of Life on Earth by Leslie E. Orgel |
| | For the next two centuries, those ideas were subjected to increasingly severe criticism, and in the mid-19th century two important scientific advances set the stage for modern discussions of the origin of life. | | | We've been talking so much about the origin of life, but what happened after that? | | | It is also possible, though less likely, that some of the organic materials required for life did not originate at the earth's surface at all. |

| | The Buddhist Wheel of Life |
| | The Wheel of Life illustrates in a popular way the essence of the Buddhist teachings, the Four Truths: the existence of earthly suffering, its origin and cause, the ending or prevention of misery and the practice path to liberation from suffering. | | | The Wheel of Life is dedicated to all animated beings who have not yet attained the first step of spiritual liberation (Nirvana). | | | The Wheel of Life describes the cause of all evil and its effects, mirrored in earthly phenomena just as it is experienced by everyone from the cradle to the grave. |

| | Article: Does Evolution have any Religious Significance? |
| | The origin of life is therefore marked by striking scientific ignorance. | | | Six arenas in which evolution may have significance for Christian theism are discussed: the claim that evolutionary theory is intrinsically atheistic; the role of chance; the origin of life; the origin of species; the origin of humankind; and the problem of pain, suffering, death and the Fall. | | | As a Christian I accept the authority of Scripture in all matters relating to faith and conduct, and I believe that the early chapters of Genesis provide us with a vital theological account of the origins and purposes of humankind, an account which is seminal for our understanding of the rest of the Bible. |

| | The Meaning of "Life" |
| | Scores of researchers devote their time to the study of biochemical evolution to unravel the mystery of the origin of life on Earth. | | | Others take the point of view that life is just an aspect of man's perception of matter, just as music is an aspect of his perception of sounds. | | | These propose forces specific to life which are not found in the realm of physics or chemistry. |

| | Amazon.com: Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution: Books: Neil deGrasse Tyson,Donald Goldsmith |
| | The title "Origins" threw me because I assumed it focused on Darwin's theory; however, this book is more than that, and combines elements of astrophysics, biology, and geology to describe how the universe was created, and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life. | | | Origins takes us from the beginning of space and time to the origins of life, all in a conversational manner, never glossing over the difficult bits or controversies, but explaining each in the light of science. | | | They also emphasize the scientific method and its inherent skepticism as the only way to understand such mysteries as dark matter, stellar formation, and the origin of life on Earth. |

| | Origin of the Species- Chapter VIII Hybridism |
| | Hybrids, however, are differently circumstanced before and after birth: when born and living in a country where their two parents can live, they are generally placed under suitable conditions of life. | | | Hybrids, on the other hand, have their reproductive organs functionally impotent, as may be clearly seen in the state of the male element in both plants and animals; though the organs themselves are perfect in structure, as far as the microscope reveals. | | | Hybrids from two species which are very difficult to cross, and which rarely produce any offspring, are generally very sterile; but the parallelism between the difficulty of making a first cross, and the sterility of the hybrids thus produced--two classes of facts which are generally confounded together--is by no means strict. |
