Where Did Life Come From?

Obviously we were Intelligently Designed by our Lord and Saviour the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Aliens obviously dropped us here as a space colony in their intergalactic Empire.

I remember, less than a year ago, you had 20k subs or something. Jezus your account exploded! Keep it up!

The interesting thing about the three possibilities you discuss is that none of them exclude the other two. I suspect that it's possible that all three may have had a part in the process. I suspect that life is likely far more inevitable than we realize.

"How did we get here?" and "Why are we here?" are two very different questions that seem to be used interchangeably when they are not the same question at all. One is asking about the origins of life, while the other assumes that there must be some purpose to our existence beyond procreation and the continuation of life.

I've read a very interesting paper lately:
Hansma, H. G. (2010). Possible origin of life between mica sheets. Journal of theoretical biology, 266(1), 175-188.
It proposes minerals in soils exposed to alternating wet and dry cycles like tidal areas as promising candidates for the origin of life. Personally, I really like the theory described there, especially if you can introduce already existing organic compounds like amino acids from the ocean. Also, keep in mind that the tides were a lot stronger back then, so the tidal areas were most likely much larger than they are to day, providing more chances for life to emerge that way.

Another great video brought to us by JT! Thanks for the content you keep making!

We all know the flying spaghetti monster boiled for our sins

The problem for complex life in places like Europa is hydro-thermal vents don't provide nearly as much energy as photosynthesis, making it difficult to support the long, complex food-chains we need for more advanced forms of life. So I don't expect anything with high energy demands like sentient life, and most likely life there will have really low metabolism.
