A law that has been recognized in biology since the time of Pasteur: "Life comes from life." That is, a living organism can be generated only from another living organism. For example, mammals are born from their mothers. Nothing has ever been observed to the contrary. Throughout the history of the world no one has ever witnessed lifeless matter giving birth to a living being. Of course, there were those in Ancient Egypt, Greece and the Middle Ages who thought they had observed such an outcome; However,their beliefs proved to be out of ignorance, and finally, in his famous experiments in the 1860's, Pasteur proved that even bacteria, the most basic form of life, did not come to be without a predecessor.
Darwin attempted to describe the origins of life, about which he knew little, in a short sentence, wherein he stated that life must have first appeared "some warm little pond," but evolutionists that followed him became concerned about elaborating on this matter.

Life came from god, he created man and everyliving thing around us. Just like you need a architect to built a house you also need someone to make all living things and god is the only one that can do that

The mathematician-theologian and proponent of intelligent design, William Dembski, writes in his book The Design Revolution: “There are natural systems that cannot be adequately explained in terms of undirected natural forces and that exhibit features which in any other circumstance we would attribute to intelligence.” The probability of such systems occurring by chance, he calculates, is less than 1 in 10 raised to the 150th power (1 followed by 150 zeros). (Discover Magazine, Special Issue, Year in Science, 2005). Therefore, the random spontaneous emergence of life, while being a highly improbable event, is not a totally impossible event. The estimated number of atoms in the Universe is 10 raised to the 79th power (1 followed by 79 zeros) and the number of possible different arrangements of atoms is a number much larger than 10 raised to the 158th power. So there is a sufficient number of ways present in the universe for life to have arisen at least once entirely by chance.

You obviously havent done any reserch at all!!!Nobody has ever said that life came from something lifeless!!! Let me help you a little bit!
Life apparently requires a solar system having a planet with "suitable" conditions such as liquid water, nutrients, and sources of energy. Interactions between various substances and energy yielded the autocatalytic systems capable of passing information from one generation to the next, and the thread of life began. This thread, which has been maintained by DNA molecules for much of its history, is shown weaving its way through the primitive oceans, gaining strength, and gradually acquiring the lineages of organisms whose descendants populate our modern biosphere. Plants and animals then moved onto the land, where more advanced forms, including humanity, ultimately arose.
There is no "standard" model of the origin of life. However, most currently accepted models build in one way or another upon a number of discoveries concerning the origin of molecular and cellular components for life, which are listed in a rough order of postulated emergence:
i) Plausible pre-biotic conditions result in the creation of certain basic small molecules (monomers) of life, such as amino acids. This was demonstrated in the Urey-Miller experiment by Stanley L. Miller and Harold C. Urey in 1953. { In the early 1950s Stanley L. Miller, working in the laboratory of Harold C. Urey at the University of Chicago, did the first experiment designed to clarify the chemical reactions that occurred on the primitive earth. In the flask at the bottom, he created an "ocean" of water, which he heated, forcing water vapor to circulate through the apparatus. The flask at the top contained an "atmosphere" consisting of methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen (H2) and the circulating water vapor. Next he exposed the gases to a continuous electrical discharge ("lightning"), causing the gases to interact. Water-soluble products of those reactions then passed through a condenser and dissolved in the mock ocean. The experiment yielded many amino acids and enabled Miller to explain how they had formed. For instance, glycine appeared after reactions in the atmosphere produced simple compounds - formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide - that participated in the set of reactions that took place. Years after this experiment, a meteorite that struck near Murchison, Australia, was shown to contain a number of the same amino acids that Miller identified (table) and in roughly the same relative amounts (dots); those found in proteins are highlighted in blue. Such coincidences lent credence to the idea that Miller's protocol approximated the chemistry of the prebiotic earth. More recent findings have cast some doubt on that conclusion.}
ii) Phospholipids (of an appropriate length) can spontaneously form lipid bilayers, one of the two basic components of a cell membrane.
iii)The polymerization of nucleotides into random RNA molecules might have resulted in self-replicating ribozymes (RNA world hypothesis). v)Selection pressures (for catalytic efficiency and diversity result in ribozymes which catalyse peptidyl transfer (hence formation of small proteins), since oligopeptides complex with RNA to form better catalysts. Thus the first ribosome is born, and protein synthesis becomes more prevalent.
v)Proteins outcompete ribozymes in catalytic ability, and therefore become the dominant biopolymer. Nucleic acids are restricted to predominantly genomic use.
I hope this would be helpful. Now you can pic the best fanatic christian answer!

It's not beyond the realm to possibility to create life from non living matter. It's theoretically possible to make... let's say an amoeba *if* you had the technology to put it together from it's chemical components, molecule by molecule. We don't have this technology today, but that doesn't mean we wont, ever.

If you are using this to try and "prove" the existence of God, stop trying. Those who do not believe will simply state that all life on this planet came from another planet, or somewhere in space.

You can't prove the existence of God to someone when they do not want to believe it, they simply will not listen.
