Exploring the origins of life, this study delves into major theories while distinguishing between necessary and optional factors, as well as deterministic and random influences. It presents life as a cosmic phenomenon, urging readers to view its emergence beyond Earth-bound history. The author synthesizes key developments into a comprehensive scenario, advocating for a material-independent perspective to identify life’s essential characteristics. This approach aims to deepen the understanding of life's broader context and its fundamental principles.

This study investigates the major theories of the origins of life in the light of modern research with the aim of distinguishing between the necessary and the optional and between deterministic and random influences in the emergence of what we call ‘life.’ Life is treated as a cosmic phenomenon whose emergence and driving force should be viewed independently from its Earth-bound natural history. The author synthesizes all the fundamental life-related developments in a comprehensive scenario, and makes the argument that understanding life in its broadest context requires a material-independent perspective that identifies its essential fingerprints.
