Evolutionary theory does not deal with the formation of life. Special Creation is not really an idea at all in my opinion but a declaration of ignorance. That leaves ID which as far as explanatory theories go is as vacuous as they can get.
Something else then. Although I'm in the fine company of others here who don't know, I suspect it happened quite naturally according to the laws of physics and chemistry. I can't say I find any of the current explanations I've encountered to be compelling.
