evolution?

Question

if u beleive in evolution please answer me these questions. How is it that the earthis just close enough and just far away from the sun 4 the earth 2 sustain life? how is it that an entire universe of millions of stars and planets was created through a big bang? how is it that there is enough water in the ocean 2 overflow the entire earth, but it doesnt? and what happens 2 us when we die? i am not saying whatever u beleive is wrong, i am just wondering how everything is perfect.

i mean perfect as in space type perfect, and i highly dougt its pure luck that we rnt 1 millionth of an inch closer 2 the sun

but where di all the other planets and galaxys come from? did they all have big bangs 2 make them as well?

Answer 1

Everything isn't perfect. Life is hard and many lifeforms have not survived.

I know yours is a favorite creationist argument, but you have it backwards. Present lifeforms evolved to survive in the conditions that exist. If conditions were different, a totally different form of life could develop.

And, then, that different lifeform would be saying look how perfect everything is. It must have been "created" just for us.

Answer 2

Everything is definitely not perfect, it is only perceived as perfect cause that's all we know and it works for us

"How is it that the earth is just close enough and just far away from the sun 4 the earth 2 sustain life?" - Pure Luck, but with billions of planets out there revolving around stars it is bound to happen many times over.

"How is it that an entire universe of millions of stars and planets was created through a big bang" - There are only theories to explain this, but basically it is believed that all the matter and energy in the universe was stored in a singular point before it exploded into everything we see and don't see in the universe today. There is no more or no less matter in the universe now than there ever was or ever will be.

"how is it that there is enough water in the ocean 2 overflow the entire earth, but it doesn't?" - Gravity

"and what happens 2 us when we die?" - That is way over my head and I couldn't even begin to conceptualize.

1. Earth's distance from the sun:
There are billions upon billions of planets. The odds of just 1 of all those planets being this distance from a star is not all that unlikely. Remember every distance from a star has the same likelihood of existing (excluding situations in which the distance would be too small to sustain an orbit). Beside, Life could still exist if the Earth was at a slightly different distance from the Sun. It's not like moving the Earth a mile closer to the Sun would make a difference, especially since the Earth's distance from the sun changes throughout each year.

2. Big Bang creating everything:
The Big Bang Theory is seperate from evolution. I do not know much about the Big Bang, but the alternative, Creationism, states that the Earth is about 5,800 years old. Since scientists have seen fossils from millions of years ago and light from galaxies over 5,800 light years away, Creationism has no scientific support. As for the Big Bang Theory itslef, I do not know enough to prove it to you except for the phenomon known as a "redshift," which indicates that the universe is expanding, which is explained by the Big Bang.

3. Water not overflowing:
I'm not sure what you're saying for sure, but I think you're asking why the water doesn't completely cover the land. In reality, the water covers a large percentage of the Earth, including many areas that could be land if the sea level was lower. Evaporation and cloud formation allows overflow to be prevented. Besides, according to many biologists, life originated in the oceans. (Humans have the same concentration of water in them as seawater, for example.)
My point is that evolution could have still occured even if all the land was covered. However, most "land" is really covered by oceans.

4. After death:
This has nothing to do with evolution. In my opinion, you lose consciousness and get buried in the ground, where decomposers turn you into biomolecules that make soil fertile.

5. Everything's perfect:
I hate to tell you, but the world is far from perfect. We have deadly hurricanes and tornados. Wildfires are a big problem, along with global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. Humans are always fighting with each other. The world's great, but it's far from perfect.

Answer 4

First of all, the Big Bang theory is the supposed start to the entire universe. All galaxies are said to have come from it. You can believe it or not, but either way there's no way to prove any of it. As far as evolution and the position of Earth to the sun.. The earth wasn't placed in a particular place by anyone. It wasn't planned to sustain life. It just so happens that the earth ended up in the right place and life was able to emerge. Mere coincidence. Also, there really isn't a point in asking what happens when you die. Just live life well and be good to everyone and when the time comes you'll find out what happens. Don't worry about it yet; you're not quite dead at this point, right?

Answer 5

All planets around the sun have bacteria. The earth just happen to be the one to have the correct distance to support evolution. Also if the earth was closer to the sun by a little bit it would sustain life better.

The big bang is possible. If the big bang happened the universe would have to be a vacuum. In a vacuum energy is created. So much energy was compact that it exploded and created matter. After this happened many times the universe was created.

First of all there isn't enough water to flood the earth. If there was enough it still wouldn't flood because a lot of water is frozen in the polar caps.

When you die your body shuts down and decomposes. After that nothing happens. It's the end.

Answer 6

Thats just the way it turned out man..... And thats the way it is in other solar systems as well. There is life on other planets and "God" didnt create them. Out of the millions of other planets revolving around other suns you cant possibly be so narrow minded to believe that none of them are at just the right distance from a sun to sustain life and a millionth of an inch isnt going to make a difference.
As far as the oceans not overflowing the earth....
Cup your palm facing up and fill it with water, now turn it over and pour water on your knuckles.... notice how the water just runs off onto the lowest place it can find? Re: the floor
Good luck

Answer 7

Well none of your questions really have anything to do with evolution, but...

1. There are an estimated 70 sextillion stars in the observable universe. That's 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. Because stars attract mass, the vast majority of those likely have solar systems. Some of those solar systems have to have planets at the particular distance from that particular star such that it is favorable for life. You see, it'd be strange for it not to, not the other way around.

2. We can really only talk about what happened after the big bang. The answer is, as the universe expanded it cooled so that clouds of hydrogen condensed and eventully collapsed under it's own weight into stars. These stars died in large explosions, creating heavier elements and these elements again condensed and collapsed under their own weight into new stars, and planets, and everything else.

3. Water is heavy and runny and seeks the lowest point. There is not enough water in the ocean to overflow the entire Earth unless you took the water out of the oceans, filled the oceans in, smoothed down the mountains, and dumped the water back down. Obviously, the way things are now, we'd need quite a bit more water before the tip of Mount Everest goes under.

4. When we die our biological functions cease. Our brain cells die and the information stored in them is lost. If you have the opinion that we have a soul and it lives on, that is your choice to believe that.

We are here as a result of our ability to adapt to our surroundings, our surroundings didn't cater itself to us.

Answer 8

Out of the millions and billions of possible planets out there, it makes sense that at least one would just randomly have the perfect combination of conditions to sustain life, and that's why life developed here instead of somewhere else. It may seem unlikely that everything would be so perfect for life, but if you think about how many millions of planets are out there, it seems a little more likely that it just happened randomly.

I'm not saying that I believe one way or the other, but there is some good evidence out there that supports the theory of evolution, and I haven't seen any good examples of evidence for anything else that can't be explained better by evolution. That doesn't mean that I don't believe in God and that I don't believe in Heaven. I just don't believe the whole seven days thing.

Answer 9

Some of your questions are a little mixed up. I'll assume you're a kid so you'll get the benefit of doubt.

The earth is a terrestrial planet meaning it belongs to a small group of planets compsed mostly of silicone rock. Now terrestrial planets are very rare in the universe but evidence is mounting for the existence of more. So far we know that earth is the only planet that supports life as a result of its cosmological development. It is thought to have been formed about 4.5 bllion yrs ago (I wont explain how you can look that up easy enough yourself). Out of the primordial larvae Molten eventually coled, vapor was eventually released, condensation occoured producing a some type of replicating prokaryote...the rest as we say is history.

The big bang is just one theory but there has been mounting evidence for this...it has many variations , for an explantion see the link below

Ok this my friend is nothing more than plain old GRAVITY.

Well I dont know waht happends to me when I die and I see no point in speculating on it though thats just me.

Ok and lastly dont close your mind to science, it doesent have to be a choice between that and religon. That is very dangerous and remeber GOD is not fond of ignorance.

Answer 10

Everything is not perfect. Everything is in a state of change. When we die, we cease to exist, that is why if you want your life to mean anything, now is the time to live. The water does overflow the Earth, then it evaporates, then returns to the ground as rain and snow again. The "Big Bang" was needed because a "Little Bang" would not have done the job. The Earth only sustains life that is native to this planet.

Answer 11

Nothing is perfect, from what i believe, we are just coincidentally on one of the handfuls of planets that are in the perfect position to sustain life. I'l give you my opinion, i think its just pretty much coincidence that earth is in the perfect position, and we are just simply put on earth, or for or i know, "some others" may be put on other planets which support life. The big bang is probably in my POV just one of many other much more major events the happened in this entire universe, and many others too. Its because we are too small to notice anything outside our world, so we are very much ignorant about the bigger scheme of things, and the bigger than bigger scheme of things. I'm not a religious person, so i can only say that what happens after death will be found out after it happens, just as albert einstein said, "I don't ponder about the future, it happens soon enough." If you just find a day to sit down in a quiet place and contemplate these question, you'll find your own answers to them.
