1. | life arose from living forms only |
2. | life can arise from both living and non-living |
3. | life can arise from non-living things only |

In 1953, S. L. Miller created primitive earth conditions in the laboratory and gave experimental evidence for the origin of the first form of life from pre-existing non-living organic molecules. The primitive earth conditions created include:
1. | low temperature, volcanic storms, an atmosphere rich in oxygen |
2. | low temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere |
3. | high temperature, volcanic storms, non-reducing atmosphere |
4. | high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing CH4, NH3 etc. |
