I think fermentation and radioactive beaches are my favorites. From a thematic perspective, I don't have the brains to actually have an opinion on whats most likely or correct.
Fermentation is funny & resonates with how fermentation is the most important chemical process to civilization
Radioactive beaches are nice if we ever manage to destroy all life in thermonuclear war, dust to dust, radioactive beaches to radioactive beaches.
edit: Creation Myths are acceptable
idk one of the weird east asian religious explanations where god cums in the sea or something and creates mankind on accident. I think that's the traditional Japanese creation myth but I'm not sure anymore
Not exactly a creation myth, but in Greek mythology, one of Saturn’s nuts falls into the sea, and it turns into Venus, and that’s how we get the goddess of love!
fuck i forgot religions had ideas about this too lol
i do like the god cumming, cum is pretty cool.

Orthadox Marxists don't want you to know about this one simple trick to return humanity to the stars :nuke:
I heared one explaining the O chem that some clay type soils help catalize lipid layer formation. So that would mean we got made by dirt. Which I think is a very poetic idea.
On earth, there are two lines. One started from a single cell organism that is the common ancestor to nearly all life. The other is the okapi, which emerged fully formed through a miraculous and astronomical coincidence in 1845. It has no known relatives on earth.
Lipids form spheres around hydrothermal vents deep under ocean, convection makes them cycle near hot areas to cold. In these cycles, larger bubbles tend to absorb lipids from smaller and at a point they split. They "eat" and "reproduce".
Small organic molecules can penetrate the lipid layer. Near a hot spot tons of molecules come in and then react to form long chains. These chains are too large to pass through the lipids. A gradiant of concentration of molecules inside a lipid bubble induces these bubbles to draw more lipids from smaller molecules. We now have natural selection and competition, make the biggest chains. Then enzymes, proteins and information can be encoded and were off to the races.
Pretty much every ancient myth that involves deities cutting each other's balls and slamming them onto the ground.
panspermia but with horizontal gene transfer orgiastic characteristics
like the origins of life came from some asteroids and comets or whatever, but this wasn't a one-time thing, it's keeps happening periodically, and the horizontal gene transfer takes in whatever happens to fit/work into existing life
life on earth is just a hodgepodge craft project of gravity and energy physics
Panspermia doesn't really answer how life itself comes about though, just how life ended up on Earth.
but it does explain how it ended up here, like how the big bang explains how matter ended up here but not why
jerry seinfeld is god and made it happen is what im hearing
and agree with
The Last Question is kinda that idea.I also remember reading a short story about something similar a while ago but I can't find it anymore so it could have been a writing prompt thing or something.
Maybe it was this, by qntm: https://qntm.org/responsibility
qntm is a great source of these type of stories. He writes for scp too.
