How did life come into existence?

Life we know on Earth is Carbon based.

The beginning of everything : The first carbon compounds formed on the surface of a silicon rock Quartz (SiO₂) at the bottom of a muddy pond. (a theory)

(Mud: A mixture of fine-grained soil, clay, and minerals. These minerals provide additional active sites for surface catalysis)

These first carbon compounds could eventually:

Aggregate into proto-membranes.

Travel to more energy-rich environments, like underwater hydrothermal vents, where the first living forms might arise.

So basically ?

The first carbon compounds formed on silicon rocks.

Transported by water currents and sediment movement.

The first living things formed in thermal vents, thanks to minerals and energy sources.

I went back in time and sprinkled Mrs Dash into the primordial ooze. It's why all living things crave salt, because I used that instead of Season All. >:3

none of your business

Life could of been brought to Earth from Venus or Mars, both had better more livable conditions earlier in their creation. Just a single meteorite laced with organic material could be enough to jumpstart life.

In my line of work, there's one answer: God

Wait, you know about the former life on Mars? Did you also have the dream? Was it a dream?

The 9 divines all had a crazy orgy party, and then....

Which makes no sense when you think about it. Its a theological paradox. How can a god create not because he needed to, but because his love was overflowing. So he existed for an eternity alone in his own perfect self-absorbed love for himself, and then one day decided, that love was suddenly overflowing enough to drag other beings unwillingly and wrongfully into existence for the single purpose of hating him and rejecting him and being sent to hell.

The "muddy pond" theory we discussed earlier expressed one perspective on the resulting chemical origin: the mineral-rich mud in which carbon accumulates and reacts.

Now, the "mud" in the Bible is used symbolically/metaphorically in the place where humans were created from dust.

but in theory the mud was a catalyst

A more livable condition do not mean life, just that it had a chance to form there, since there was liquid water the odds are about as good as any other planer that is within the Goldilocks Zone.

You've answered your own question.

Don't project human shortcomings onto God.

You don't need to. The bible shows that the abrahamic god has plenty of human vices.

And some people believe Mars encountered a global nuclear war.
