How do you think life appeared on Earth 1. By accident 2. Creation 3. Other?

Something to consider:

So far, Science, with even the best labs and equipment cannot replicate on purpose what they claim happened by mere accident.

And it is clear to anyone who seriously studies astronomy that Earth is tailor-made for life to exist. That in itself lends serious evidence of a Designer.

For just one instance, the precise settings of the four fundamental physical forces (electromagnetism, gravity, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force), affect every object in the universe. They are set and balanced so precisely that even slight changes could render the universe lifeless.

Also consider the following quote from Lawrence M. Krauss, Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics and Professor of Astronomy and Chairman of the Dept. of Physics at Case Western Reserve University:

"One cosmic coincidence: that there was one extra proton produced in the early universe for every 10 billion or so protons and antiprotons. Without these little guys, matter would have annihilated with antimatter, and there would be no matter left in the universe today, intelligent or otherwise."

"In fact, the origin of the excess of matter over antimatter is one of the most interesting unsolved problems in physics today...This excess is very relevant to our existence."

"It turns out, however, that it is not so easy to design a universe that expands, as our universe does, without either recollapsing very quickly in a reverse big bang -a big crunch- or expanding so fast that there would have been no time for matter to clump together into stars and galaxies. The initial conditions of the universe, or some dynamical physical process early in its history, would have to be very fine tuned to get things just right."

"At a fundamental microphysical level, there is a whole slew of cosmic coincidences that allowed life to [exist] on Earth. If any one of a number of fundamental physical quantities in nature was slightly different, then the conditions essential for the [existence] of life on Earth would not have existed. For example, if the very small mass difference between a neutron and proton (about 1 part in 1000) were changed by only a factor of 2, the abundance of elements in the universe, some of which are essential to life on Earth, would be radically different from what we observe today.

"Along the same lines, if the energy level of one of the excited states of the nucleus of the carbon atom were slightly different, then the reactions that produce carbon in the interiors of stars would not occur and there would be no carbon -the basis of organic molecules- in the universe today."

Heu... In religion view, the first few verses regarding to the great begining is the basic premise of all of these is that something caused the Universe to exist, and this First Cause must be God. It has been used by various theologians and philosophers over the centuries, from the ancient Greek Plato and Aristotle to the medieval St. Thomas Aquinas and beyond. It is also applied by the Spiritist doctrine as the main argument for the existence of God.

For the existence of a First Cause (or instead, an Uncaused cause) to the universe, and by extension is often used as an argument for the existence (The cosmological argument), usually then identified as God....

Since the earth has been around much longer than the bible says we have or that some religious people think we have, I'd say it was most likely by the laws of physics. I know some will say then how do I explain that no where else is there life on a planet like ours? I say looking at the big picture, we are one small planet in a sea of galaxies and we in no way know if there is or isn't life somewhere else out there. It is ignorant to think that WE are the only ones.

Creation

How do I think? You already presume too much about me right off the bat, implying I think at all, whereas I was under the impression I merely mash my keyboard while waiting for the morning coffeeto kick in ;)

"How do you think life appeared" - I *believe* there was conscious intent involved. Rest are details, whether called "coincidences", "magic", "spontaneous combustion", etc... all irrelevant. Albeit, yeah, I also favor the explanation of how the entire creative process would appear as evolution from a scientific observer's viewpoint. As for coincidence - any sufficiently complex system is bound to appear chaotic even random to all intelligence indigenous to such system of such system. -Pat.

3 - Abiogenesis, which is just a matter of cause and effect.

Even if organic molecules arrived by a meteor, even if the first life form got here via panspermia, those molecules still had to originate somewhere through physical processes. Abiogenesis need not have taken place originally on earth for the theory to still hold true as the precursor to all known terrestrial life.

2. Creation, of course

NASA data tells us 1) the sun has been shrinking measurably and 2) the moon's orbit increasing meaurably to the extent that any farther back than 10,000 years you'd be fried by the sun and the violent tides from the moon would wash out any struggling life form here. Life can not possibly have been here on this planet very long, and there hasn't been enough time for it to evolve very far.

By the simple interaction of matter according to chemistry and physics operating under conditions that allowed life to form.

That's neither of your two choices.

The natural result of natural processes is not an "accident."

Peace.

some years lower back I observed a caricature that defined how existence in the international began.the image became into categorized a million trillion rears BC.A flying saucer became into soaring over the sea of earth.An alien became into squatting on the rim of the saucer,taking a crap.The 2d alien stated"do not try this! that is against the intergalactic treaty".The 1rst Alien stated"do not hassle approximately it,the Elders won't be attentive to and besides the microbes in my sh*t would evolve into the dominant species of this planet"would not this make as lots experience because of the fact the earth,animals and persons happening by accident?creation of course
