Generally, science and Christianity are considered two contradictory views of the universe. Science symbolizes an evolutionary and naturalistic view of the universe from which God is (or at least can be) excluded. Christianity symbolizes a world view where everything is created by the direct creative act of God.
Science offers us different ways at looking at the origins of life. Its two most famous theories are the Big Bang and the theory of evolution. The Big Bang theory is that there was a gigantic explosion caused by the matter of the universe which was densely squashed and caused the universe and life. This theory could offer a better explanation than Christianity because it has certain aspects to prove it - e.g. the Stars are moving further away from each other and scientists believe this is because of the resulting energy from the Big Bang. Scientists think that soon the universe will stop expanding and fall in on itself, causing the Big Crunch. They say that this process has been going on for a while and is a cycle. The universe seems to be reborn every time like in Buddhism- samsara. This theory is almost flawless but Christians could use the cosmological argument which states that we are in a series of cause and effect and there must have been an uncaused cause that started the universe e.g. God. So with that logic it could show that God was behind the origin of life.
