Note: you may believe that life started in multiple places at multiple times throughout the universe, but the thread is concerned only about the strain of life that populated the earth.
Not to get off on a tangent, but this is why the study of the deep oceans is important; it's not just an obstacle so NASA has a smaller budget, it helps answer questions like these. But that goes two ways. If NASA finds life somewhere that isn't based on the same organic atoms we use, then that indicates that life can arise in places other than water worlds, and that would completely change how we look at biology.

TyrannosaurusRexにより編集済み: 6/13/2014 3:58:09 AMI hate religion so much. Muslims Jews, Christians, all idiots. There are a few exceptions, but no matter what they all have a huge flaw: Religion. Morons. Can't accept that there is nothing to us. No point. At least I don’t need Heaven for my morals, I'm just a good person, by choice, and you only do it for works. On topic: Right now we can't know.

Panspermia of basic life, organic compounds, amino acids, and/or other "building blocks" is becoming a significant possibility/probability. Not to the extent of the video, and not with the life intentionally firing itself into the cosmos, but rather being spread about by large-scale impact events and Oort cloud type objects.

Life that populated Earth? Its very likely in my opinion but theres the off chance that original micro organisms and whatnot just survived on a meteor or something like that. I highly doubt that Earth is the only planet that supports life though. Maybe only planet with complex life but there are a lot of planets that are a lot older than Earth.

[quote]If NASA finds life somewhere that isn't based on the same organic atoms we use, then that indicates that life can arise in places other than water worlds, and that would completely change how we look at biology.[/quote] I always thought this would be interesting. Would we even recognize other life forms if we saw them. I know, "Of course we would," you are probably thinking, but What if a lifeform had a lifespan of thousands of years and moved extremely slowly, or what if their bodies were extremely large? It would be fairly difficult to recognize these lifeforms from our tiny scope on life.

Given the variables, yes. Earth is just a very geologically active place, so the chance of chemical arrangements necessary to give birth to life is pretty high. Well, relatively high.

Its a question that cannot be answered correctly. This is what religion is for, to answer what cannot be answered.

Carbon-based life as we understand it most likely began on earth, yeah. Now some of the components and factors probably came over on asteroids and such, but this whole "humans are so special we can't just be animals we must have been made by aliens or a very specific deity" shit is retarded.

We weren't really made for this planet. The way we evolved doesn't line up with the way earth is. We're starbabies, guise.

"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. They may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive far, far away, amongst the stars."

Any hypothesis about shit that happened that long ago is just conjecture. We don't really have the ability to predict anything that far back. I'd say that what's here started here but I think we've had interaction to some extent with life from other places.
