Beginning of Life

This idea has been kicking around in my head for years, and I would like to
entertain comment.

Here are some things probably most of us know:

1. Our sun is a second generation star that began to burn about
four billion years ago plus or minus.

2. The elements in our array of sun-orbiting planets were cooked
down in a first generation star that exploded in a novation occurring
around 5.5 billion years ago.

3. Life on earth began very early on, say 3.8 billion years ago.

4. There even may have been some primal life on Mars.

Here are some possibilities:

1. That first generation sun may have had an array of orbiting
planets.

2. Life on one or more of those theorized planets may have
arisen/evolved, or have been planted there by the Creator.

3. After the novation, Earth (maybe Mars) could have been seeded with
remnant primal life forms which over time colonized our planet.

Here are some questions:

1. Could early planets, lacking in heavy elements, sustain life?

2. Are there any scientific limitations on such a scenario?

3. Has this been posited or argued before, and by whom?
