EDIT: Evolution does not have anything to do with life's beginning. It has everything to do with the change in life.
However, I'll assume you meant science in general:
I'm no expert, but here's what I've gathered:
The current theory is that there's amino acids/RNA/DNA out there in space on floating debris. That's how it got to earth. We've collected data from meteors, and I believe that's what's given support to the theorey.
We have no idea where the building blocks from life come from.
I personally believe the universe has no start or end. It spans infinitely in time in both directions. I think space spans infinitely in 3D space. The Big Bang theorey is just a local structure's beginning/cycle. Everythin in science would suggest this...atoms/solar systems/galaxies, etc. Why would it stop there? Things should get infinitely large/small.
While infinite values may boggle some people's minds, I can't imagine there being a boundary of existance. We're not a video game.
