Evolutionist : Why is Earth The Only Planet in our galaxy with life Why didn't life evolve on Mercury Jupiter

Question

Okay Im Not Trying To DissAprove Evolution Just Trying To Get A Better Understanding Of it. There Once Was A Time When Earth had no form Of Life then Chemicals protiens are whatever started to gather up and over time started to devlope/evolve life overtime. Well why Didnt Chemicals on Jupitor mars pluto and other planets gather up and evolve to suit there enviorment ?

But even if another planet had no water in there envirment they still could evolve to live without water

Why couldent specis on mercury evolve to live with the great amount of heat.

You said mars is to cold to cold for humans of course because we have adapted to the climate on earth. So pluto mars neptne and uranus specis who evolved on that planet could evolve and live with the cold weather and lets say life evolved on pluto and never on earth the specis on pluto would be saying earth is to hot to support life.

Answer 1

Carbon/Oxygen/Hydrogen/Nitrogen content, temperature, stability, pressure.

And I think you meant "solar system", not "galaxy". We don't know if life came about on other planets in the galaxy. There might even still be life on other planets in the solar system. That's why the Mars lander is so interested in collecting information on water content and such.

There still isn't a lot of information on what range of environments could support abiogenesis and evolution. We only have a sample of one, so far: Earth. That's doesn't really give us a good idea of how rare this process is.

Answer 2

There is no proof that there is life anywhere but Earth. However, we know there are 200 billion stars in the galaxy; more than 30 for every person on Earth. Even if only 1 star in a million had a planet with life there would be 200 thousand planets in the galaxy that had life. We know that the conditions that give rise to life (water, warmth, and organic matter) are nothing terribly extraordinary, cosmically speaking. We know that life arose quickly on early Earth, suggesting life develops easily when conditions are right. So the odds of there being some kind of life out there are very, very high. Even if life is very rare they're still very high, because the galaxy is so huge.

Answer 3

Mars and Jupiter both lack running water, which is essential for life. Earth is the right temperature for water to be in liquid form most of the time.

The reason that organisms couldn't evolve without liquid water is that the water provides a place for chemical reactions to take place, and those chemical reactions are necessary for the development of life (at least the life we know). On Mercury, for example, the temperature is too hot for the water to liquefy. Because of this, less chemical reactions take place and the chances of life arising on the planet are virtually zero.

It is possible that some other form of life could evolve on those planets, but part of the problem with that is we wouldn't really know what to look for. We don't know what life would look like if it didn't develop in the water similarly to the development of life on Earth.

You're right about it being potentially possible for organisms to evolve to live in far colder or warmer climates. However, without sufficient water, you can't have abiogenesis, so there were no organisms to evolve to survive in those climates.

Answer 4

First of all, learn the difference between our solar system and our galaxy. As to why we're the only one in the solar system with life (Presently and that we know of), that's probably because we're the only planet with the optimal conditions for life to develop. Now, before you say "A-ha! That proves that there's something which made that happen!" keep in mind that the universe is a really big place, and the odds of this not having happened many times throughout the universe are so slim as to be negligible. We may never find it, but if it happened here, it almost definitely has happened out there, too.

Answer 5

One requirement for life as we know it is water in the liquid state. Earth is the only planet at the proper distance from the Sun for this to happen over a goodly portion of its surface most of the time. Mercury and Venus are too hot, Mars is too cold and too small, and everything past Mars is WAY too cold.

By the way - you mean "solar system", not "galaxy". We don't know if life evolved on other planets in our galaxy.

Answer 6

Good questions and no UNDERSTANDABLE answers from evolutionists. Their answers are typically like this:
a) man has not yet explored all of the universe--therefore no proof that there is no life elsewhere. Translation: we should wait forever till kingdom come to answer this question,
b) questions like this are from ignorant ones. Translation: they are "more educated" than believers,
c) would point out to small changes in species as proof of evolution. Translation: make exceptions the general rule.

They also accuse creationists as superstitious for believing in a Creator. Yet, they have no qualms in saying that earth is EXTREMELY LUCKY to be situated at the right distance from the sun and to have the right atmosphere, the right chemical combinations, etc.

Now, is it not the case of the kettle calling the pot black ?

Answer 7

Well, I'm not an evolutionist, but you should get a documentary called either A Privileged Planet or The Privileged Planet, I cant remember which. you could also get the book. It's all about how specialized a planet has to be support life forms besides extremophile bacterium. It's very interesting.

Answer 8

First you need to get a better understanding of astronomy. The Sun and its eight or so planets is correctly called a solar system. A galaxy is a large structure with tens of billions of stars in it. There are literally billions and billions of planets in our galaxy and a few of them may have the correct conditions to harbor life. No other planets in our solar system seem to have live on them because they are either too hot, too cold, don't have enough water, are frozen solid, or they don't have a definable surface like Jupiter. Life is a random occurrence but the conditions also need to be just right. We are just extremely lucky to be on the right rock at the right time.

Answer 9

Only planet in the galaxy? What are you basing that on? There are 8 planets in our solar system and we've only looked at 7 of them close up. We have identified a couple of hundred planets orbiting other stars but the are too far away for us to know much about them yet. There are literally billions of stars in the galaxy with billions more planets.
We've just started learning about the planets in our solar system. We know nothing about 99.9999999999999999% of the planets beyond it.

Answer 10

Currently, it is speculated that there may be life the oceans of Europa (one of Jupiter's moons). While we are fairly sure that there is no life, as we know it, on the other planets we also do not know for sure that there is no life on them. So far, we have not detected life on Mars, however we are not sure that there was not life on it at one time.

When we talk about life, we generally assume that "life" is what we consider to be "life" i.e. carbon based and oxygen processing. This may not be the case on other worlds, and clearly the other planets in our system can not host our version of life due to a variety of factors (lack of oxygen, carbon, heavy gravity, noxious gases, etc).

Edit:
As far as the galaxy is concerned, we have found at least one earth like planet so far, but given that there are around 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone, it will take quite some time to completely survey all of the stars in our galaxy.
