We know living things come from other living things. But how did the VERY FIRST living thing get here? Did it just pop out of nowhere? Can scientists make new life from scratch? If we took all the ingredients for life and put them on another planet, would life start there too after a long, long time?

Haven’t you read the Bible? The real Explain Like I’m Five from 5000 years ago is that God did it. Because humans are inherently lazy and back then we were fairly unaware too. It’s notable that they more or less got the order of operations right, in terms of creation.
1. Darkness and light: stars forming
2. Waters and land separated: geology of Earth
3. Plants made
4. Sun and moon and stars: ok, the order is a bit off.
5. Animals made: Little did they know, they were early scientists explaining evolution.
6. Humans made: they were off by a few days or millions of years, but who’s counting.
7. NFL
The geology of Earth likely had a lot to do with the real answer. It’s kinda like baking a cake: you can put all of the ingredients together all you want, but to get a cake you have to have energy added to those ingredients. So hydrothermal vents and water and a little electrical shock and boom: single cell organism
