Scientific evidence suggests that life began on Earth approximately 3.5 billion years ago. The Earth formed 4.5 billion Years ago.
The Earth was a dead planet for about 1 billion years.
Some evidence would suggest that the first forms of life began more like 3.8 billion years ago, in which case the Earth was dead only 700 million years.
The study of the processes which resulted in the beginning of life is called Abiogenesis.
If it worked the same on other planets on other Sun in other galaxies, life may have begin 10 billion years ago in other galaxies.

Note also that there are dozens of explanations for the beginning on life on Earth, including many based on religion.
