Can anything non living move by itself? So how can the world just start moving by itself and create life?

Answer 1

It can't. Evolution is a bunch of crap. I takes more faith to believe in evolution than in creation.

Answer 2

All nonliving matter moves. Natural forces such as electromagnetism, gravity, etc., causes motion in nonliving matter.

But I believe you really meant to ask about abiogenesis, no? There's been a good amount of research on this topic from labs at Harvard (Jack Szostack), Scripps and other places and the general facts of how life emerged from chemical reactions is well understood. Common chemical reactions can create organic macromolecules which then form shards of nucleotides which then make chemical replicates and store information. This is greatly oversimplified and there are still many questions to be answered, such as did an RNA phentotypic world emerge first and provide a basis for protein synthesis, or did protein synthesis and metabolic reactions precede nucleic acid formation (this is possible in lab settings)? Whatever the answers to the many details, the idea that chemical reactions can create complex molecules which can eventually lead to life is well supported by research and generally accepted in science. That scientists think it is relatively easy for chemical processes to lead to life is reflected by the fact that much of your tax money is going to fund a probe which will look for life under the frozen surface of Europa in the next decade.

Answer 3

Lots of things that are not alive appear to move by themselves.

Water moves, especially the tides at the seashore. Lava flows down the sides of volcanoes. Even a flag flapping in the breeze appears to be a non-living thing that is moving 'by itself.'

The world turns because it is reacting to gravitational forces from the sun. Various rocks, asteroids, dust and other matter that were hurtling through space got attracted into a gravitational field and started revolving until it smacked together, forming a planet. Gravity holds the planet's mass together, and the whole thing spins like a top as it circles the sun due to the magnetic forces established when it was first formed. This is not a function of being 'alive' in the sense that an ant or you are alive; it is a feature of matter existing in a certain place and time that reacted with other matter and went into motion.

Life is unrelated (as far as we know) to the motion of the planet. Our motion as living creatures is different than the spinning of the Earth or the motion of the tides. We stop and go as our brains tell us to, instead of happening on a schedule or by gravity.

Answer 4

*Get 2 magnets, put them next to each other, They will automatically move on their own (towards or further) Wohoo!!

*Hold a tennis ball while standing. Let go of it. The tennis ball will automatically fall towards the ground. Wohoo!

*Place a candle in the sun. Wait. It will melt and slowly move as its shape changes.

There are forces that occur in nature and interact and affect other objects as well.

The trick is considering the bigger picture. How those forces and situations were arranged in the first place.

A ball just can't logically to our human understanding appear from beyond a time frame in still and suddenly give in to gravity and move towards the earth.

Can i say Religion, God, Faith..?

Answer 5

Isn't the world moving by itself right now?By the laws of Physics? Does it have to take an intelligent form for the earth to produce lightning? Lightning is a natural occurence. Creation of life on the primieval seas of the earth by way of an electric charge was a "happy" accident and by my opinion, did not take an intelligent life form or any grand design to happen.

Answer 6

LOL!, "moving" is a function of existence, not of "being alive".

How can a river flow if it is not a living thing? How can a bag of six-inch nails fall to the ground when you let go of it, unless it is alive?

Your question is nonsensical. Matter itself is simply enegy movement manifested as something that appears "solid"!

Read a book, get a clue!

Answer 7

nothing can move by itself until it has energy into itself or is acted upon by any external force (whether visible or non-visible).
for example:- mechanical force is a visible force while magnetic force is a non-visible force.
the world did'nt just start moving on itself. there was surely some kind of igniting force which gave birth to it. we are not very sure about what the force was but the hottest accepted theory right now it the BIG BANG THEORY.

Answer 8

Strictly speaking, no, something cannot move by itself. The world was created by lots of little rocks being pulled together by gravity, and since then has never stopped orbiting the sun.
As for life, im no expert but life on earth was created through some complex chemical reactions involving lightning for energy, ammonia, methane and hydrogen. This created basic lifeforms which then evolved from there.

Answer 9

Your question sounds loaded. You are baiting people, which is not intelligent behavior.

Non-living fluids move freely, mix, and interact constantly in the primal world. Molecules tend to elaborate, and simple things become more complex spontaneously. Molecules capable of developing into living things develop in this way in a fluid environment.

Answer 10

Gravity can initiate movement. Any two objects have a gravitational attraction. The best theory on how life was created suggests that the right chemicals mixed under the right conditions to spawn the first life form. Amino acids are the building blocks of life and they can be created in labs using chemicals and electricity.

The probability of the right chemicals mixing under the right conditions seems very improbable. However, there are 1 billion, billion planets in the universe. Therefore, if the possibility of the right chemicals mixing was 1 in a billion, that would mean that life can potentially exist on a billion planets. When we think about this, it makes the chance of life starting randomly by the right mixture of chemicals seem much more possible.

Answer 11

Non-living chemicals always " move by themselves " when they interact. You are just the result of these physio-chemical processes, formed from simplicity to greater complexity. We have known this since the synthesis of Urea, over 150 years ago. When will some people catch up and allow themselves to be educated?
