Describe Life????

Question

I heard an evolutionist say that evolution applies ONLY to LIFE. It does not describe even how life started, let alone anything before that.

So then WHAT describes how life started? Don't you people wonder about that? How do you know what your identity on earth is???

Answer 1

Once again evolution is a CROCK.

Answer 2

The are numerous hypotheses about the origin of life. Panspermia, which begs the question, attributes it to comet-borne biomolecules. The chemical hypothesis of abiogenesis suggests that biomolecules accrued until some acquired the ability to catalyze the formation similar molecules, and eventually enough molecules in close proximity became the first life. This hypothesis is extremely difficult to test, because life quickly consumed the molecules in the environment it arose in, so the likelihood of finding molecular "fossils" from the appropriate era is slim. I am curious, but the fact that I don't expect that I'll ever get beyond a computer model does not create any identity crisis for me.

Answer 3

My identity on earth - and anywhere else - is what I make it.

Yes, I'm stuck with some socially defined roles,. as are all of us - but the rest of who I am and how I am identified? Purely up to me.

Doesn't have a thing to do with evolution - I am not my ancestors, no matter how far back - nor does it have anything to do with religion.

Answer 4

WARNING: Anything you read here will be speculative, my answer and the rest.

Ultimately, we are all a bunch of atoms and energy, arranged biologically in terms of probability. The universe, it is said, expanded so much and created so many things that our existence was statistically inevitable. But life isn't as cut-and-dry as you make it sound. You COULD potentially label as LIFE all the empty space surrounding our atoms - the so-called ether.

Answer 5

While Macro-evolution on its premises is scientific fact, you are right, it does not describe the origins of the universe, and the theories on the existence of the universe are much weaker than evolution. The strongest theory is the big-bang theory, although it still has a few gaps to fill before it can separate itself.

Answer 6

Abiogenesis is the field that studies the beginnings of life on Earth.

However, Abiogenesis ONLY describes how life STARTS. It does not describe where the materials from which life starts come.

Answer 7

Life is a gift given by God through our father and mother to understand happiness and sorrows.

Answer 8

"Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators."
