text: Yes, science has ruled out Genesis, Adam and Eve and has advanced several plausible theories of how self-replicating entities may have first emerged naturally from primordial chemistry, however science has not ruled out divine intervention in abiogenesis. 
  
  It is also remotely possible that aliens intervened, or that life in our solar system began on Mars or elsewhere. This is one reason I suspect Payette was reacting to evolution denial, not the belief that the origin of life was supernatural. Another is that Payette is ESL and her remarks seemed grammatically awkward and unrehearsed.
