Thanks for the info. So it really could have been something like Star Trek's Metamorphisis or many other possibilities.....

It's like I've said. It could have been electricity on a pool of amino acids, it could have been aliens from another dimension, it could have been humans from the future (from our perspective) who went back in time to seed the earth with the first life (thus making humanity responsible for its own existence), it could have been some divine agent zap-poofing it into existence or it could have been something that I've not yet considered, but evolutionary theory would be unchanged because -- despite the lies of some creationists -- the ultimate origins of life are outside of the scope of evolution.
Given the current level of human knowledge on the subject as well as my own level of expertise, however, if you ask me about the ultimate origins of life, I will confidently tell you "I have absolutely no idea".
