All life could be ever existing and ever evolving, couldn't it? Life emerging from non-life would be a real jump of evolution, wouldn't it? Some-thing from no-thing? - Life is not ever-existing. That is exactly the problem. Inorganic chemicals are non-living. Organic chemicals are also non-living until they organize into life. Life leaves behind telltale signs of life as deposited waste products and corpses. The earliest on Earth of these substances is either 3.8-3.6 billion years old in Greenland. That is how long ago it is scientifically accepted that life appeared on Earth.
