Creation Moment 6/13/2023 - What that "Something" was.....

"The human body relies heavily on electrical charges. Lightning-like pulses of energy fly through the brain and nerves and most biological processes depend on electrical ions traveling across the membranes of each cell in our body.
These electrical signals are possible, in part, because of an imbalance in electrical charges that exists on either side of a cellular membrane. 
 
Until recently, researchers believed the membrane was an essential component in creating this imbalance. But that thought was turned on its head when researchers at Stanford University discovered that similar imbalanced electrical charges can exist between microdroplets of water and air.
 
Now, researchers at Duke University have discovered that these types of electric fields also exist within and around another type of cellular structure called biological condensates. Like oil droplets floating in water, these structures exist because of differences in density. They form compartments inside the cell without needing the physical boundary of a membrane.
 
Most previous work on biomolecular condensates has focused on their innards,” Chilkoti said. “Yifan’s discovery that biomolecular condensates appear to be redox-active suggests that condensates did not simply evolve to carry out specific biological functions as is commonly understood, but that they are also endowed with a critical chemical function that is essential to cells.”
 
The powerhouses of our cells, called mitochondria, create energy for all of our life’s functions through the same basic chemical process. ---But before mitochondria or even the simplest of cells existed, something had to provide energy for the very first of life’s functions to begin working.
 
Researchers have proposed that the energy was provided by thermal vents in the oceans or hot springs. 
Others have suggested this same redox reaction that occurs in water microdroplets was created by the spray of ocean waves."  SciTech Daily
  
Here's another option of what the "SOMETHING"
was----

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
