Nope. anyone who has studied biology, anatomy, and cellular biology would know that life doesn't randomly happen.

  • First of all yes it does, seeing how all of Earths life is from randomly occurring events. And second, the fact that it happened here is pretty much all the evidence you need that it's possible to happen elsewhere.

  • As someone with a basic understanding of science the first single cell most likely wasn't even almost reminiscent of any of the ones we see today and was probably just an extremely unlikely to form combination of DNA and other known and unknown chemicals, and by an even smaller chance it was able to self replicate in its environment.

  • Accurate replication of DNA requires very specific things. You need some form of centrosome to align them, and then the non naturally occuring enzyme helicase to zip them open. You then need another non naturally occuring enzyme polymerase to rebuild them when they are split, all in a protected pool of chemicals to prevent the wrong nucleotides from binding. None can exist without the other. Its like a sea of 1-9's turning into a perfect string of 1-0's to generate the program "half-life 3". Its like mixing eggs, milk, and sugar with a spoon, and hoping that one day it will split back up into eggs, milk, and sugar. The smal pieces would never "unmix" in the required fashion. Even with all the base elements there.

  • And this is where the unknown part comes in. We're missing something, because as you say these things rely on another to continue existence in a self replicating or even living form. There's some missing puzzle piece that we can't find. Unless the common ancestor was just flung into outer space by some alien race, there's something that we still haven't discovered that we need to create life.

  • You say that, but it is here. If it can happen here, why not elsewhere?

  • It happened to us, right?

  • Which was ridiculously unlikely to begin with.

  • Its not. To put it in a nutshell, we would be unable to recreate the perfection required to create life. It is incredibly complex, with systems that work together with insane precision. DNA, as well as its counterpart, is able to self replicate with the use of enzymes. On a timer. Forever. Since humans first came to the scene, people have been replicated through the genetic transference of 2 cells. If you can imagine a multi-billion celled organism generating offspring by combining a single cell with another single cell from a different multi-billion cell organism, you can understand that the string of genetic information never has a break. DNA splits an incredible number of times, and in that sense, we are all connected by it. DNA has been self replicating since it has existed. Putting that aside, single cell life is incredibly complex as well. Between the molecules used to generate the "skin" to the enzymes that are used in its fluids. Aside from mitosis, there is absolutely no way a single cell can originate from nothing. The ability to replicate is only possible due to the self replicating DNA, which only allows for replication because of the specific sequencing that it has. To put it bluntly, to assume that life sprouted from random happenstance is to assume that life was able to program itself. Without the ability to replicate genetic information, life wouldn't exist. That paired with the evident "programmed" cellular death after maturity is also a red flag. What is the evolutionary advantage to a shorter life span? Why do systems stop working, and systems start going into a "time to die" mode after age 40?

  • The most backed theory on how the first single celled bacteria came to be was just that. Random. It is said that the mixing chemicals of the leaking ash from underneath the earth's crust and the chemicals and conditions of the ocean were able to create the cocktail that eventually became life.

  • We have already cloned a sheep. And if humans were made, other intelligent life forms can be made as well.

  • You do realize that "cloning" a sheep was simply extracting the genetic material from one sheep and putting putting it into a cell in which the nucleus had its genetic material sucked out with a syringe right?

  • So, you agree that we have created the protection of life? Also, extraterrestrial life would be like humanity, but on a different planet. They just breathe different things. I don't think you realize that humans were the product of evolution, and before that, a microscopic organism. Other extraterrestrial creatures xould also have evolved.
