Closest i can think of is something like Spore (evolving into an animal from a fuckin protozoa) but shit, it's just hard to picture the process.
That's incorrect. You need organic matter. As for origins of life, scientists have found proteins (amino acids) on asteroids that land on earth, and have conducted experiments to show that, given the conditions of a young earth, these amino acids can foster more complex forms of life. The science is all there, really. Quite a few scientific papers on it.

I imagine string theory explains the initial existence of energy, but I've never looked into it. I've never researched science beyond that point except for the limitations of potential energy.
The common analogy is the universe was infinitely condensed to a ball the size of a pea, but that's just speculation, hinted at by the maths :p As for string theory, it does, but string theory (which has since been refined in to slightly alternate theories like m-theory) is really just a mathematical framework. I think it's a bit premature to use it to draw any serious conclusions.
