Life's lucky 'kick start'

The Cambrian Explosion - when life suddenly and rapidly flourished some 550 million years ago - may have an explanation in the reaction of primitive life to some big event.

Something triggered the explosion of life
The explosion is one of the most significant yet least understood periods in the history of life on Earth.

New research suggests it may have occurred because of a complex interaction between components of the biosphere after they had been disturbed by, for example, the break-up of a super-continent or an asteroid impact.

Scientists say the life explosion might just have easily occurred two billion years earlier - or not at all.

I can't say I know too much about this subject, what are peoples opinions about this theory? It's a crazy thought that without some kind of accident life on this planet might not have existed at all. I guess that thought is so scary that's why alot of people think this means there MUST be a God.
