Scientists have found what they think is the oldest fossil on Earth, a remnant of life from 3.7 billion years ago when Earth's skies were orange and its oceans green.

The Sun is 4.5 billion years old.- https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=How+old+is+the+Sun
The Earth is 4.543 billion years old. - https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=How+old+is+the+Earth
That is a difference of the Earth being only 43 million years younger than the Sun. If the first fossil found has been dated to being 3.7 billion years old that would put the Earth at 843 million years old when the fossil finally fossilized.
It takes a fossil a minimum of 10,000 years to fossilize - https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=how+long+does+it+take+for+a+fossil+to+fossilize
So what we are looking at is the possibility of an Earth having life on it at around 800 million years after being born or maybe even sooner as life would have been able to take hold on Earth as soon as the first pools of water cooled enough to support life that would be able to survive in water that have temperatures ranging from heat generated by thermal vents on the ocean floors to water inside of volcanoes where sharks have recently been recorded as living.

I would have to think that life first was born in active volcanoes as a volcano would make a perfect protected nursery.

I was also looking at an article regarding the Moon being formed as a result of a collision with Earth. I would have to say that most likely a very large water based comet collided with the Earth maybe at around year 4.560 to 4.570 billion years of the Earth's age that came from the same group of bodies that formed the rings of Saturn seeing as how the rings of Saturn are thought to be younger than the dinosaurs. Maybe even later even possibly 50,000 years before the first fossil became fossilized. A large comet smashing into Earth would release enough water to cool the surface of the Earth very rapidly but not to rapid to cause extreme fracturing as the water cooled and seeped into the cracks and the fissures of the Earth.
