In Korean science curriculum the origin of life is almost totally based on evolutionist views. Therefore efforts are needed to approach the essence of science by understanding diverse viewpoints on the origin of life. If the various anecdote of the history of science is utilized for the science class, the understanding of the learner about the essence of the life and origin will be able to be enhanced. The effort to utilize the history of science for this purpose has to get accomplished continuously.
