1) organic molecules were synthesized from inorganic compounds in the atmosphere — the "primeval soup" theory.
2) organic molecules rained down on earth from outer space.
3) organic molecules were synthesized at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.

Which one is the most plausible?

4) God

Either 1 or 3.

With 2, the building blocks had to be made somewhere to start off with, so it makes the problem more complicated than it needs be.
