   True, there must have been a period when life did not exist on this   
   planet. OTOH, ours is a second or third generation star and solar   
   system. The universe is 13.7 billion years old.   
      
   The earth and solar system is known to be 4.5 billion years old.   
   So the universe existed some 9.2 billion years before the earth   
   coalesced from dead stars matter. Life appear on the earth about 3.8   
   billion years ago, some 1.5 - 2 billion years after it's formation, then   
   it's not unreasonable to suggest that could life might have appeared   
   during the 9.2 billion years prior to our solar system formation. After   
   arising in a previous generation of stars and solar systems, this life   
   could have migrated to the newly formed earth. This is not scientific   
   because it's not testable. Nevertheless, why could it not be a real   
   possibility? There are an number of hypothesis suggesting   
   that life came from space.
