What was required in order for life to originate on Earth from nonliving molecules?

In my opinion, the question is in error.
1) How would you define the idea "life", and how would you define the idea "nonliving" ?
2) You state, that "life" on Earth originated from "nonliving" molecules. Are you sure that is the case ? Maybe if you substitute the words in double quotes by the definitions you gave as the answers on question #1, you may see that the distinction you thought, is not according the reality, but just a fallacy.
What if every molecule, or even every particle, is like a building_block of which Life is made of ?
What do you think about the axioma or statement: "In Life, Only Life Exists" ?

Would an organism with biomolecules of opposite chirality survive on Earth?
Molecules of opposite chirality would be toxic to the ones that currently exist on earth right? So that would mean that the L molecules already in existence on earth would be toxic to the newly introduced D molecules? I'm not really sure about this, anyone have more chemistry/biology background?
What was most likely responsible for the fact that organic molecules no longer form spontaneously on Earth?
Today, very few organic molecules form on the surface of the earth. Those that do form do so close to volcanic vents. Organic molecules no longer spontaneously form on Earth because the surface of the plant has cooled off dramatically.
Which of these actions increases enthalpy in the air molecules of the Earth's atmosphere?
The air being heated by the sun.
How many molecules are there in the world?
There are millions of different kinds of molecules, more organic ones than inorganic because they are tailored to a biological role. An estimate of the total number of molecules making up the earth is difficult to estimate, and changes slightly all the time. The number of atoms, however, can be extrapolated from the mass and composition of the Earth. It is about 1.33 x 1050 atoms. The number of molecules should then be within the next two lower orders of magnitude, or at least 1 x 1048.
Which of the gases in the earth's atmosphere would you expect to find as molecules and which as individual atoms?
You would expect to find nitrogen and oxygen as molecules in the atmosphere, and argon as individual atoms.
Is the earth living or nonliving?
the earth is nonliving but has living organisms on it
What was the purpose of the Miller and Urey experiment?
To see if biological compounds could form spontaneously on early Earth To see if simple molecules can combine spontaneously. To find out how biological molecules could have first formed How life can evolve from nonliving matter

How are self-replicating molecules essential to the most popular hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth?
Because self replicating molecules are required in order for reproduction of genes to take place.
What term is used for the study of nonliving parts earth?
geology
What is nonliving substance that occurs naturally in Earth's crust?
Rock.
Where did pecocks originate?
