Young earth Christers can trace their ancestry all the way back from spider monkeys to tube worms living deep under the ocean near super heated vents in the earth's crust.

But I still think it's unlikely that the first thing to ever have existed just popped into existence from nothing. Hence my belief in something that is not bound by the laws of nature. This opens up the possibility that the first thing to ever have existed isnt bound by time, didn't need an origin for which it came from, and could be infinite/always have existed.
What about a virus, a simple prion or just a long complex building block molecule like a carbohydrate or lipid? Could you imagine those things just distilling from astronomical events .. initiated by God himself, of course.
