Lots of ideas. Today, there are several competing theories for how life arose on Earth. Some question whether life began on Earth at all, asserting instead that it came from a distant world or the heart of a fallen comet or asteroid.
Although, just allowing an âAnti-Religious Committee of the Central Committeeâ is pretty telling, and Stalin, who murdered a lot of people for a lot of reasons, did have a concerted campaign against religion where he murdered anyone who was a theist, and he detroyed all churches, temples, and mosques in Russia.
Since the fall of communism, religion has thrived with churches and monasteries springing up all over the country. Decades of Soviet rule have left their mark: up to half of Russians declare themselves atheists, although figures vary.
