Abiogenesis is Tamboli's interpretation of Abiogenesis-a theory in the evolution of early life on earth where organic molecules and subsequent simple life forms first originated from inorganic substances where life arose from non-life. Abiogenesis proposes that the first organic life-forms generated were very simple and through a gradual process became increasingly complex. To understand the theory of abiogenesis, we must imagine the Earth about 4 billion years ago. Next time you’re caught in a thunderstorm, remember you’re witnessing the planet seed itself with useable phosphorus for organisms like us, and our microbial ancestors, to enjoy.
