My Bio textbook proposes a dichotomy between spontaneous generation (life evolving from non-living matter) with creationism. The authors then cleverly superimpose evolution above these two and states that evolution can explain the origin of life. Unfortunately they did what most evolutionary biologists do and state that life is explained by evolution but they did not propose what the origin of life from 'evolution' is. It's either life from living matter or life from non-living matter. Most evolutionary theorists cede to the theory of the prebiotic soup.
I would like all of you to list your explanations for the origin of life or if there simply isn't enough information yet to explain it for you.
I personally do not have enough information. I went from the belief in creationism, to the belief in a prebiotic soup, then to the belief in God creating a single cell and evolution doing it's work on that single cell, to now straddling creationism again due to the lack of 'intermediate' species in the fossil records (One of my friends really opened my eyes to this).
