  • What you refer to is known as abiogenesis, i.e. the spontaneous appearance of life from inanimate matters. In fact, the view that the spontaneous appearance of the first form of life on earth in an oxygen-less atmosphere has been the basis for most abiogenesis theories. However, the first primitive simple life might have been appeared without oxygen but all the more complex living organisms evolved from this might require oxygen to survive and reproduce.

  • In my mind I always thoughted that oxygen played the part of a catalyst in a chemical reaction that created life. Given the fact that even today we have multicellurar organisms that live with no oxygen whatsoeven throughout their existance makes me think that life in other forms can be created in environments with no oxygen with another chemical, not oxygen, playing the role of the catalyst.
