It is perfectly easy to conceive of a world where there were two origins of life
Science? can't find the beginning to exist of one lifeform, and you are wanting to suggest a second lifeform beginning to exist?
Why not, if it happened once? Your Bible posits thousands were magicked into existence.
In near-infinite space over near-infinite time (or fully, both) the universe has produced stars and planetary systems through the same processes everywhere we look. The universe is managing everything else perfectly well on its pwn without a god, so why not life? Why not many times?
My personal, wholly intuitive hunch, is that the universe tends to produce life as surely as it formed the galaxies. Further, I think life tends to evolve toward sentience and intelligence as naturally as apples fall to earth.
Now, that's my deep flash of intuition about things, fueled years ago by star-gazing and wine. It's a pretty thought, and perhaps a profound one.
But unlike you and your myth, I don't believe it.
