What Philosophy gives us the information for the Genesis of the Origin of Life ?

Update:

See David Berlinski et al.

Update 2:

One answer rules-itself out because of its closed philosophy-of-religion.

The other shorter one is incorrect, Philosophy does & can "give information".

    Always remembering this century began with the amendment to Genesis litany as expulsion of Lilith as first woman and wife of Adam in favor of the more amenable eve. Thus is the nature of life and living. The religion of sikhism too resonates nasty here as the “lord” liketh not Lilith, favoring eve and its more indulgent prowess than the authoritarian manner of Lilith ...

    Then and now ...

    It is science that is working on the origins of life, not philosophy. this is because it is not a conceptual, it is an empirical problem.

    Sorry Peter, but rhetorical questions are disallowed and this is not a discussion group. You already know that. Reported for abridging the rules.

    "Information" is the knowledge which teaching or instruction informs by.  Authoritative knowledge is the basis for teaching (even by the Socratic method, which elicits gnosis).

    So, "Life" is either God, or/and biochemical process; "Origin" is either Creator, or/and unknown to physics/science; "Genesis" is simply a redux of "Origin;" "Philosophy" is simply ethical and other testing of hypotheses and even of conjectures.

    Presently, there are some "Religious explanations," and no "Scientific theories," for "Creation/Genesis/Origin," and "Life" is a double-edged perspective (God; energy from God knows where). It is a fact (as found experience) that unless one is a Jacob--->Israel, a Plotinus, a Kierkegaardian Knight of Faith, a Yogananda...that there are in-house (in-energy) limits on what a creature or lifestream is able to do--and know--within the given surround ("environment" as = energy dynamics of atomic matter, etc.). Thus, to "draw nigh to Me" finds lesser foci or loves beside the Point of Oneness...and the Oneness is left off for the post-"Edenic" existential surround. "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve" is simply either God first--loving God completely--or placing some "idol"--e.g. "Enlightenment egoism" or Romantic egoism or existential egoism--as a god before Me. Therefore, Pascal's Wager--simplified for the carnal ego--Love God completely, Love colleague as Self (Self-realization occurring as Man puts on the Image and likeness of the One Ego), and Love even as Christ, Truth, Loves. This is not usually a road to Damascus magnificent conversion of complete Light, but more often a plodding, one step after the other, regardless of what one has elected as vocational duties. God, labor, and family are usually enough for most people in one life. Even so, withal there are many opportunities for increase in these, even as "treasures in heaven" (the starry qualia of demonstrated Light, as Saint Paul has it).

    You cite Dr. Berlinski; if you haven't listened to a good discussion which included him, on a math analysis of darwinism, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noj4phMT9OE is imo quite enjoyable.
