Many cultures and ancient civilizations have their own theories as to how life began on earth. Some cultures say gods and goddesses created life, in modern times however some suggest that we came through outer space.

Before examining modern ideas about the origins of life, it is important to see the traditional views on how life began. Many cultures believed that gods or goddesses created life.

Butterfield (1965) author of “The Origins of Modern Science” persuasively argues that what materialized in the 16th century and subsequent years was not necessarily the results of new information, but transformed minds. Helweg, (1997) explains that other cultures have made significant findings to the human race; i.e., the Hindus introduction of zero and the Muslins contributions to algebra. Christian also contributed an exclusive set of expectations required by science. Many Christians were not only scientist but researchers that validated that we existed in a methodical universe. They understood that revealing such knowledge would prove powerful in evidence that such a universe was shaped by a methodical
