seriously no-one can or will ever be able to answer that its a mystery which we are not intelligent enough to work out, and a thousand years from now they will still be asking the same question

There are several proposals, including that life arrived on the back of a comet, though this raises the question where did the comet aquire life?
More likely are those that involve hydothermal vents, either similar to those found in the African Rift Valley or to the Black Smokers of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The oldest fossilised lifeforms date back to within a billion years of the formation of the Solar System.

Where = panspermia (i.e. microscopic life in a suspended state, drifting through deep space and eventually landing on earth), extra-terrestrial involvement (i.e. comets), hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean. Life ultimately could have been developed through random combinations of amino acids and protein coats eventually giving rise to a self-replicating organism (despite the supposed improbability of this happening, millions of years and a very large planet sized test tube might conceivably allow such a permutation to arise),

I believe that primitive, single cell life forms were "seeded" into earth's primordial ocean by highly advanced space travelers (aliens/angels). Very likely earth was strategically placed in orbit around the sun at the appropriate distance to harbor life. The moon was also very likely placed in earth orbit to generate tides on earth, and to help protect earth from meteorite/asteroid/comet impacts.

theory 1 :- amino acids spontaneously evolved from ammonia, oxygen, and other organic compunds, under effect of lightning and heat, in the prehistoric earth, and later complex cells and then complex life from these cells gradually evolved
theory 2:- spores containing cells or amino acids were brought to earth by comets from outer space, and then they evolved, as said above.

Well I think it was David Attenborough's idea and it was sometime in the 1970s. Buy the DVDs and find out.
Oops, sorry. Misunderstood the question.

Primordial soup. Lots of volcanic action, lightening and an acidic atmosphere.

I was under the impression MAN came from Africa originally. As for the first life, wasn't it a mixture of acids by chance?

There are many theories around. Wikipedia gives a nice overview.

The Answer is and always has been in the Bible. Life was designed by God between 6 and 8 thousand years ago. As to where at the beginning there was only one land mass, so no modern place is really relevant.
