How did we get on earth?

Question

Really, I dont want awnsers about god.....I cant belive that I need to get REAL awnsers that you can prove......belive me Im fine with people that belive in adam and eve and god put us here........But I need awnsers that I can prove N E one can prove. awnser if you can.

Answer 1

There are several theories out there... here's a few...

Primordial soup:
Due to comet collisions, asteroids, and other space debris, the fledgling Earth is given water, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. There's a puddle, with carbon, nitrogen, and water, and an electrical storm causes the carbon and nitrogen to form together. Eventually, other things happen (waves hands around for emphasis) and it forms a bacteria that can reproduce. Evolution happens, colonial species, and after billions of years, we have us.

We are aliens:
Earth has been chilling around, some storms, but nothing much happening. Then, a comet from another world brings frozen micro-organisms over, crashes into Earth, some of the organisms survive, and start reproducing.

That's the thing though... you can't prove any of the scientific ones, nor can you prove the spiritual/religious ones. There's just too much time, too little evidence that has been found. Thus, that's why there are so many theories, and why mankind has made stories to make itself feel better.

Answer 2

I've never really understood why we should ponder about this. We can never prove either of the big two theories, we will never find out how we got here etc. I think we should try and pay more focus to the future and survival, more than looking back to the ancient times and wondering how the hell we got here.

But in the sake of fair play, I'll just tell you what I think since that's the idea of the topic, and the core of discussion is to babble about these theories. I do believe in evolution, I do believe life on Earth started from cells that managed to survive and evolve in a habitat good for them. As the millennias went by, more and more life came and eventually us humans appeared. I do not believe in the creationism way of thinking because I've so far seen no proof of God (let's not derail this into an argument whether or not The Bible works as proof or not) and I fail to think that all the fossiles of dinosaurs and extremely human-like apes should be just ignored and just claim that we were thrown on this Earth.

But I still think it's just pointless to ponder about this. No solution will ever be reached because it's been way too damn long since it all happened and thus we lack all proof to any direction. And even if we would get the answer, solving the great mystery wouldn't really affect much; to any researches at least.

Answer 3

How did we get on Earth? We were always on Earth. We evolved from lower life forms that were created around the time the Earth was(4.7 billion years ago). I am all about the persuit of truth...whether it's God or it's science I don't give two sh*ts as long as it's the truth. But the fact that all these atoms in my body can be contolled under one consciousness and is able to percieve and comprehend the universe, feel emotions, and being able to remember is actually quite a phenomenon. It's just an impossible question to answer at this point in time.

Answer 4

The obvious answer is that we all came from our parents and that every living thing comes from another living thing. The tougher question is how did the first living things get here? We don't know yet. The fossil record shows the history of evolution of life, particularly that of larger complex organisms that can leave good fossils. It does not show us how life began from lifelessness. Of course there are many other questions that we have not yet been able to answer. Perhaps you will be the one to discover some of the answers.

Answer 5

Liyah, I personally believe in God - there would be waaaaay too many coincidences otherwise. As far as needing "real proof" about how we got here, scientists have been working on that forever but there is no 100% proof of how it all began, just theories.

Answer 6

micro organisms capable of regeneration have been brought onto earth through comets is the popular scientific belief. Chemical reactions are the basic energy formers and energy with combination of mass formed the basis of life on earth is a popular Einstein theory which survived Darwinist criticism. so thats how we probably evolved on earth.

Answer 7

This is my theory so forgive me if it doesn't make any sense....Anyways, I always thought that when the dinosuars becames extinct, some of the non-extinct animals mutated into cavemen. Centuries later, people became smarter. So here we are today using computers and laptops instead of stones.....

Answer 8

We evolved here from lower forms of life. The proof is this is scientifically well known and widely available.

Answer 9

Oh dear...doing some reflecting. My idea is that, we were here because the stupid "Stork" had messed up with the directions. We should have been delivered to the black hole.
Hmm...that makes sense!

Answer 10

Go learn about Darwin's theory of evolution it's a scientific time line of how man came to be
