The origins and progression of life come from energy.
Organisms can eat or absorb energy.
Cyril Ponnamperuma regenerated many compounds such as formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, and adenine by creating an environment predicted to have existed in prehistoric water. A source of protein came from hydrogen cyanide after it dissolves then acquires energy. The constant movement of the water, reactions inside the water combined with energy, and DNA created the first living thing. This cell was in water, but around the same time the first cell was created on land without any interaction with the water cell. These first couple cells must have been in a climate where the sun shined on a very consistent basis.
