Thread: My theory of how life came to be on Earth

This is my own theory of how life came to exist on Earth, based on my own scientific understanding, there are no quotes or reference material to back it up other than the obvious physics mentioned. After 30 years searching for answers, this is the only explanation I can give that makes any sense to me.

Sure, we'd all like to know where the universe came from, (and even where God came from if he were responsible for it all) but I, like many others are asking a specific question about life on Earth and what caused the process of evolution to take place as it did. To respond with God did it, or spores came from outer space, or that we are an alien experiment still does not answer the question, what was the mechanism that started it all, what maintained it throughout the process of evolution, and most importantly why are we not aware of the process today? Perhaps we are all looking in the wrong places for the same answers, expecting things to be so complicated that we seem unable (or even unwilling) to comprehend the truth about life for one reason or another.

I believe that in order to answer the question, we need to first of all understand what life is in relative terms and work it out from there. The general definition of life has been given as; a force that exists in all living things which gives them the ability to change (evolve) with the passing of time, being instinctively aware of environmental surroundings developing responsive interaction with the natural desire for survival.

We need to start at the very beginning with the first Atom, Hydrogen, and understand that all other Atoms are integral multiples, but more importantly we need to realize that all Atoms are born incomplete and instinctively seek out others in order to conserve energy. Hydrogen Atoms have a single central Proton that is positively charged and a single negatively charged Electron, and as opposites they are attracted to each other until their charges become equalized creating a mixture of attractive and repulsive forces sustaining the Electrons orbital path round the Proton. For all intended purposes, this can be seen as a self-sustaining mechanism that establishes the cycle of existence in all physical matter, creating a perpetual source of the electric and magnetic energy within each Atom accordingly.

Although Atoms on their own are nothing more than potential components for chemical compounds, and would just normally float around in space until they randomly meet up with others to join with. That is however, unless they are influenced by external forces and contained within a limited area of space, for example, our solar system, sustained by the gravity of the Sun which so happens to be made mostly of Hydrogen and radiates streams of Protons and Electrons as it burns. Here we have the process by which other Atoms are created within the confines of the Sun's gravitational field, forming into the orbital planets as billions of Atoms join together attempting to become complete. If we consider the solar system to be nothing more than a gigantic Atom, then the same laws of physics must also apply between the positive core and negative orbitals but on a much larger scale.

It is important to realize that the controlling factor within all Atoms is the number of orbital Electrons, in particular the outer K shell that determines how many other Atoms it can join with and what type of chemical compound it creates. For example, one Hydrogen Atom can join with two Oxygen Atoms to form a molecule of WATER, and hey presto, two highly explosive gases have changed (EVOLVED) into a fluid because they share Electrons together as a means to become complete as ONE. However, for water to remain a stable liquid it is necessary that environmental conditions are at the right temperature, since if it gets too hot it becomes vapour (gas), and if too cold it becomes a crystalized solid evolving from one form into another influenced by external forces.

So, you may ask yourself what all this has to do with the question we are trying to answer, its just basic physics we already know about, it still does not answer the question, or does it? Just think about it for a moment, what is it we are looking for here? Yes, a pattern or design that could be used to create shape and form. We can prove that water when frozen creates crystal shapes, turning a combination of just two different Atoms into a complex formation as ice molecules influenced by external thermal forces. So why does water not just freeze into plain single blocks of ice, what causes the complex crystal formations we can clearly see in a snow flake? Electromagnetic Energy influences.

You see, this basic crystal pattern is present in every single thing that has formed here on Earth, influenced by the forces of Gravity and Magnetism from the Sun, Moon, Earth and other planets that are in close orbital proximity. Although in the beginning these forces were very different from what they are today, possibly much stronger with a specific energy frequency capable of manipulating the shape of some molecules imprinting them with a magnetic or electric CODE like DNA. Thus original forms were created determined by their location on Earth and the external forces present, with the natural instinct to join with others evolving from one form into another based on the original design of influence. Water is therefore the key element in all living things on Earth, with it's unique ability to neutralize an electrostatic field and also to align the molecules with correct polarity influenced by the Earth's magnetic field making it the ideal host for life to evolve.
After a few million years or so, these external influences began to change becoming much weaker, leaving only the Earth's magnetic field pattern imprinted on the design of all living things. Although the manipulation of water still happens today, where the forces of gravity from the Sun, Moon and Earth constantly alter the shape and position of oceans that cover 75% of Earth's surface.

Let us therefore assume that Astrology has something to contribute here, although not in the way we know it to be today but from a basic geometric point of view indicating the potential energy influences of different planetary positions and alignments. If we consider the solar system to be nothing more than a gigantic Atom, then the same laws of physics must also apply between the positive core and negative orbitals but on a much larger scale. Just because we have not yet detected any form of energy influences, does not mean to say that they do not exist since clearly they must as they all generate energy within the same solar sphere. Strangely enough, Astrology was around thousands of years before any religion came along and destroyed its true understanding, which has since been lost in symbolic and mystical scripts and even incorporated within the bible itself and now used in modern day horoscopes considered by many to be entertainment.

In conclusion, we exist here on Earth as a direct result of energy influences and interaction with our environment, bound by the cycle of planetary motion round the Sun. Essentially we are stuck on this planet in physical form never to leave alive, as prolonged exposure to other planetary environments (even the Moon) may alter human physiology beyond repair. Why else have so few men spent little time on the Moon? This would also mean that alien visitors could never appear in their true form away from their home planet, and as such no alien could ever visit Earth as a physical being.

Please remember I'm not a scientist, but I am from Scotland where all great ideas and inventions have developed over the last hundred years or so...........

What?

I am sorry if this seems like an innapropriate response, but I am truly trying to articulate something by saying this.

Again, what?

You sort of get the impression that that hypothesis has been written in a much more complicated manner than it needs to be...

Astrology? I don't think life is confined to our solar system plus I don't think it appeared recently. It may be that life was born(?) in the first few milliseconds or always was. It's a great mystery no doubt and I hope someone figures it out soon.

So, you think life is the natural result of the way chemicals combine?

I wouldn't disagree with that, exactly. The main difference between life and inert matter is that it has the ability to multiply, die, and mutate across generations. Death is important because it makes life different from a crystal formation, which multiplies through the material the crystal is growing, but doesn't die, and have to regrow through the same area twice, so a crystal formation never competes with itself in the same environment.

In a sense, a life form is only a small step from a crystal formation. After making that one step, the principles of evolution can carry you the rest of the way to a human being.

Probably the reason the magnetic field would be encoded in our DNA is because the magnetic field was part of our environment. Evolution is all about adapting to one's environment, so the magnetic field would be part of what we were evolving to adapt to.

I tend to look at astrologers the same way I look at "bible code" people. Maybe some people really can see the future, but they encode their visions into an algorithm. (And it could be that they don't use any paranormal powers to "see" the future, just sound intuition and guess work) So, the information is not in the bible text or star alignments, but in the method the person came up with to analyze them. Maybe the star alignments are the means of decrypting their predictions, like a massive decoder ring.

I could buy into that.

Another very good explanation for the rise of astrology, however, would be if some people had begun to become good astronomers, so they could accurately predict things like Moon cycles, or certain cosmic events, and the common people came to believe that they were using prophesy instead of mathematics. So, maybe certain charlatans who were skilled at astronomy claimed to have other prophetic powers?

This starts well but almost immediately misunderstands what life is and rapidly descends into speculative nonsense. Most of which is falsified by evidence already known. Sorry but I have to move this to pseudo.
