    Vincent G. Gunio discusses four theories on the origin of life: 1) The Oparin-Haldane hypothesis proposes that life gradually initiated from inorganic molecules in the primordial soup through chemical evolution when exposed to energy. 2) The gene-first hypothesis suggests that self-replicating nucleic acids like RNA played a vital role in forming the earliest life by passing genetic materials between generations. 3) The metabolism-first hypothesis contends that self-sustaining metabolic reactions resulted in simple life before nucleic acids by yielding proteins and nucleic acids to maintain energy. 4) The theory of organic molecules from outer space proposes that life occurred through organic compounds found in meteorites that were produced by similar chemical processes to
