Ask AI: can you List three hypotheses about the origin of life, and describe the evidence for each?

Hypothesis 1: The Earth formed from a collision of two smaller protoplanetary bodies (The Big Splash Theory). This hypothesis is supported by the presence of water on early Earth as well as the fact that Earth’s chemical composition matches that of other planets that formed around the same time. Hypothesis 2: Life originated on Mars and was then transported to Earth via meteorites (the panspermia theory). This hypothesis is supported by the presence of organic compounds on meteorites, as well as the presence of similar biological structures on both Earth and Mars. Hypothesis 3: Life originated through abiogenesis, or the development of life without preceding life forms (the primordial soup theory). This hypothesis is supported by the presence of organic molecules in the early Earth environment, as well as the formation of simple proteins and nucleic acids in lab experiments designed to recreate the conditions of the early Earth.
