My layman guess would be that shortly after formation Earth was just a ball of lava that destroyed every organic component so when the surface solidified it was sterile.

Absolutely not. It's like opening a hood of your car, taking picture of what you see and then try to build replica of the engine based on that.

I think you wanted to respond to the parent comment. My questions have been a lead to debunk myth that the major contributor to the lift is the Bernoulli effect.
