Evolutionists, Darwinists: Since evolution took place on planet Earth why does it seem it did not take place?

Question

in other areas of the universe? If everything started from matter, molecules, energy, all colliding or coming together.Why not other places too? Why not the moon? Mars? and farther. I's my understanding that all space exploriation's have found no actual life anywhere else. No plants, animals, insects, people...little or nothing! For evolution to have worked, all things would have gone through millions of adaptions. They adapted to a new life form, new enviroment,(under water to dry land) new way of living entirely. Things progressed on earth to- change, adapt, and further evolve why didn't they do this elsewhere? Why couldn't they adapt to other cliamates? They changed from almost every angle on earth, why not other places? Didn't this original matter go there too? If not, Why not? It came from space right? It should have been able to evolve everywhere. It should have been able to live without oxygen (or bring it along with it??) Why only on earth and/or why only continuing on earth?

Answer 1

This is a very good point you have here. I agree with you...why wouldn't things have taken place on other planets over all these years ? Why is only Earth in just the right spot in the atmospere to survive all these years and produce life and keep going like it has ? I'd like to know what the scientists have to say about this one...The Earth is like it is because God intended it this way and that's all there is to it.

Answer 2

Yes, that's right: in all the the space exploration we've done (all!) we haven't found any life. You make it sound as if all of space has been checked out, turned over, and sifted through with a fine-toothed comb. Is this your understanding? It doesn't sound as if you have an idea of just how mind-bendingly vast the universe is so here's the standard analogy, and, no, I am not making this up: there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand in all the beaches in all the world. That's what 'billions upon billions upon billions' means in real terms. To continue the analogy, humanity has somewhat examined one grain of sand. "Well we looked at Mars and the moon, Jupiter, Saturn... nope no life there. It must not be anywhere." Right? Well, not exactly.

Then there is your next question/assertion. You're point seems to be that life has to evolve everywhere, and if it doesn't then the theory is flawed. I'll begin to answer this with another question: if you plant a tree in the desert and it doesn't grow, does that mean trees can't grow anywhere? For life, as we presently know it, to evolve certain conditions have to be in place. As far as this solar system goes Earth seems to be the only planet that has the proper mix of temperature, atmosphere, water, and other environmental factors necessary to foster life. But, it can't support life everywhere. You won't find life at the bottom of a raging volcano. Too far inland on Antarctica and, no life either, because even on Earth there are places where life can't find a foothold. Nevertheless, it has provided a niftly platform for all sorts of creatures to arrive, strive, and thrive. How much would you be willing to bet we're the only grain of sand with a planet that can do that. I wouldn't bet anything at all.

This is a big, big universe - much bigger than you seem to think.

Answer 3

Life is everywhere on this planet, from two miles below the surface of the earth, where there is no sunlight and oxygen are bacteria thriving. Bacteria growing even in the hotest place on earth, Death Valley. Even this life that lives is acid, that would kill a human. The acid is their heaven.

Plus we don't yet know if life exists elsewhere because we have only been looking for a few years. The stuff of life that we are made of is everywhere, the laws of nature are the same everywhere. I think life is abundent throughout the cosmos. It did, however, take a different evolutionary path than we did.

We now know that water once flowed on Mars, even as recently as yesterday. So there may still be life somewhere on Mars. Don't forget Titan or Europa. But water isn't that important, any liquid would do, to help the cells grow. We just happened to evolve on a world with water.

All of these things are not by design, but by some measure of cosmic luck. Alot of things had to happen and alot of species had to die to get to the ones that survive today. Of all the life that has ever existed on this planet, 99% of it is extinct.

It will be a matter of a few years until we first know of other worlds and other forms of life in the universe, which will have a profound effect on our species. To learn that we are not, unique. Only that we are human life, is where our uniqueness lives.

Answer 4

Well first off, this is a huge Universe, so I don't know how you know that there are no living things in the Universe. Secondly, people often ask if I think it is strange that we have the perfect environment for life to evolve. We are perfect distance from the sun, yadda yadda. Anyways, I think the chances that we are the only life forms is pretty good. I mean, hey we hit the Jackpot. We happen to be the planet that had the correct conditions. So, no things could not evolve everywhere because they don't posses the correct conditions. We do. Celebrate. Lastly, we don't know if life as we know it is the only form of life that can exist. Don't know now do we. Are there other elements we don't know about? Who knows. How would different elements develop in another solar system?

Answer 5

For evolution to occur there must be life. In our solar system, the only life we know of is on our planet. And therefore in our solar system the only evolution to occur happens on Earth.
Perhaps there is evolution occuring elsewhere in the Universe, but it may only be on a bacterial level. The more factors affecting the life form/s, the faster those life forms have to adapt/evolve.
Perhaps the factors occuring elsewhere in the universe are not great enough to cause a 'rapid' evolution. Therefore perhaps evolution is occuring at a much slower rate elsewhere and is currently only at a bacterial level.
On the other end of the scale, the universe is so huge that there may even be life forms far more advanced than us because the factors affecting those life forms are much greater.

Answer 6

That is the Randomist theory and view point.

EARTH was a lucky throw of the cosmic dice.

We don't know if there is anyone else out there. Odds of the Randomist are against it with their "uncertainty" and "randomistict" views.

Scientists and some Atheists don't generally subscribe to the "lone gunmen" theories of visitors from space and Area 51.

Religious people believe there is a God and, while they won't truly admit to it, God qualifies as an Alien. God is certainly NOT of this Earth. So the religious do believe in a superior life form outside of the Earth.

That bugs lots of people called Atheists, who don't accept that postulate.

The Japanese, who have no diety other than their Emperor, believe in bowing to one another. We show respect for our elders, officials and ultra intellegent people.

Thus it should not be a wonder that the Religious are humble before an entity like God.

Answer 7

Cosmic evolution took place everywhere in the universe. But biological evolution requires life, and we haven't found life on Mars or the Moon yet. Really, those are the only places we've checked. There may well be life on the moons of Jupiter or Saturns - several have miles of oceans under the surface.

Answer 8

You do realize that we have NEVER traveled to any other planet right??? Life in our universe might actually be quite common. But to sit there and say "evolution is false because it hasn't been seen on other planets" is quite ridiculous. We have never even been to another planet (only the moon). But I am sure we will eventually find life on other planets, and if we examine it, we will find that it has evolved as well.

(PS-NOWHERE in the theory of evolution does it state that life came to Earth from outer space...all you are doing is speaking about things that you do not understand)

Answer 9

there have been many study showing the Earth is basically 10,000 years previous. - there have been many study showing that the earth is flat, it would not advise the two is clever. we can't discover any human artifacts showing that folk existed in the previous that. - you may desire to examine some thing different than fundie captions, seem up Tiahunaco, Puma Punku, Mohenjo Daro to start. They bypass back extra beneficial than 15,000 years. Dwarka is going back approximately 35,000 years. How ought to evolution, a technique which takes thousands and thousands of years, have taken place if the international is to youthful for that to be obtainable? - Bingo, you're an fool.

Answer 10

I did believe you had a point there. So I asked my friends at Imaginary Society, and they said that they regularly make explorations to Other Space, and they have found that on many planets in Other Space evolution is way out of control. It has run amok.

On the planet Somough evolution has run amok really bad and life is evolving willy nilly, and many problems have ensued, so much so that they can't even tell how many species there are.

All we can do is pray for them.

All your other questions are unintelligible. Sorry.

Answer 11

The universe is so big and so old, it's completely possible that life arose/will arise somewhere that's much too distant for us to see, or at some time long before or after us, or both.

How life began is a different idea than evolution, which is how life increases in complexity over time (as a result of reproduction).
