Also I'll add this. I would think that there was a certain "X"
temperature that
was the most ideal for life chemistry to start.

When the environment reached that temp, life had the best odds of beginning.
And better odds than when the temperature was not at its optimum for that
chemistry.

Thus what some call a random event - can be whittled down to a very narrow temp
zone, probably within a specific temp range and temp cycle.

Thus there may be an optimum temperature for the beginning of life, and time
had to wait till the earth cooled to it for life to begin.

And what is optimum temp. here is probably optimum on any other  planet able to
support life.

One way to precede is to determine the time line of necessary events:

it would probably  be chronological chemical reactions that happen in an
environment starting in extreme heat and then going down a cooling slope from
then on.

What was first on the time line would happen at the hottest environmental point

Then deterimine what temp is optimum to start that first step.
