Darwin's theory of biological evolution helps us understand how simple life forms can give rise to complex lifeforms, but how did the first reproducing creatures come about? The origin of life needs its own explanation.
Scientists don't currently have a complete explanation for life's origins, but different labs around the globe are looking into the idea that life may have emerged from chemistry. In this animation you will learn why they are studying this idea, and you'll get to see a few of the fascinating things they have discovered.
Here are some links for further learning (organized by topic):

that one knocked my socks off.
I like him honestly stating that 'science has not explained the origin of life in full detail'. It is important, as a scientist, to clarify and understand what can be explained and what cannot be explained yet. Also summarized well about the findings so far.
I think the two most important differences between religion and science is that:
1. It's okay to say "we don't yet know" in science. Religions are about using once guessed explanations as "knowledge".
2. When measurements show that the written "knowledge" doesn't match with the reality, the "knowledge" is fixed.
"The more I study science," he remarked, "the more I believe in God."

“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.”

“DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
-Bill Gates
“With odds standing at 1 chance in 10164 of finding a functional protein among the possible 150-amino-acid compounds, the probability is 84 orders of magnitude (or powers of ten) smaller than the probability of finding the marked particle in the whole universe. Another way to say that is the probability of finding a functional protein by chance alone is a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion times smaller than the odds of finding a single specified particle among all the particles in the universe.”
--Stephen C. Meyer.
“Another source of conviction in the existence of God, connected with the reason and not with the feelings, impresses me as having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capacity of looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. When thus reflecting I feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an intelligent mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a Theist.”

"Science can't explain it _yet_ so it must've been *magic*!"
+Thrall079 Meanwhile the evolutionists believe it is logical to believe that we literally came from a rock.....because the universe suddenly banged into existence, it rained heavily on the rock surface of the earth, and the chemicals leaked from the rock into the waters.....and bodabing bodaboom....life starts!
+Todd Johnson Obviously we don't have a sufficient explanation for abiogenesis... but magic is what you're going with to explain it?
A being that is all-powerful, knows everything, and is capable of conscious thought and decision making? And this being cares whether you masturbate or not?
Thrall079 So you have zero idea how life started, or what MY beliefs are....but you call me "fucking retarded"? That tells me all I need to know about you.
***** Yeah you are right, waste of time.
+Todd Johnson And you believe a magical man in the sky "created himself from nothing" and spontaneously made, over 100 different standalone chemicals, millions of species, and trillions of stars in an entire universe spanning over a million light years wide, that watches EVERY persons moves all at once, and if you don't bow down to him and live by him your "soul" (somehow magically created through sexual reproduction) will suffer an eternity in a firey place and burn for all eternity. All documented in a book written and edited by Kings to their liking nearly two thousand years before science started becoming extremely advanced?
Yet our heads are stuck in a ostrich's behind.
Ok.
I just watched an extremely well made, enjoyable and educational video. It stimulated my mind and made me think. Then I read the comments and I cried.

Short answer: not yet! But that doesn’t mean we know nothing, we know a lot actually.
Right, we know enough to know that the more we learn the less we actually know, and the more unlikely naturalistic abiogenesis looks.

Thank you very much for your videos. You explain concepts very well so that they can be easily understood by everyone, yet you don't sacrifice depth when covering these topics.
Gosh... I wanted to read the comments to enlighten a little bit more, but it's filled with Atheist x Religion discuss...
rushy scoper After studying astronomy, my conclusions where a little bit different than yours, and maybe more depressing...
There are several cases in the universe where something looks to be in perfect balance, but the truth is something called "survival bias". It was not in balance in the beginning, but it just happened that the universe got rid of everything else.
If I apply it to humans and evolution, I do believe we just survived according to evolution, but this still doesn't explain the origin of life. The wish to live has to come from somewhere.
After reading a little about the chemical evolution, it looks possible for cells to start randomly, but what would make it have the wish to survive? That's where I associated with the survival bias in the universe.
If billions of random "fat blobs" were created, and a few of them just randomly had something inside that made them survive, or even divide for random reasons, after some time (aka million years) it could possibly have had one key mutation, making it stay existing.
If all the billions of blobs died, then I'd say the "key mutation" is what we call the will to survive. I mean, even unicellular bacterias seems to have the will to survive without having a single brain cell.
Tadashi Mori yeah i have thought about it once.
i have to say your answer is very logical we have a very similar pattern of thinking.
to some level i am with u in your conclusions in why life have survival bias to add to that its even explain one of my oldest question (if survival is the key why speics fight each other instead to survival as a whole).
in another hand i would say that this is my final answer but i still have one question that it don't explain why we don't live for ever like Turritopsis dohrnii instead we design to die.
anyway i really like your way of thinking
if u have any idea about my question feel free to share
rushy scoper Sorry, I didn't see that you replied my answer earlier.
Giving a thought about the question about dying x surviving forever, indeed this question can lead to so many other questions... It's kind of a key to understand how evolution works.
I was trying to find out an answer, but there's no obvious answer. Of course the general idea would be that mutations are good to experiment different patterns and find the best genetic code for the ever changing environment, one "imortal" being would not have the same capabilities to adapt.
Still.. this answer is so vague I can't even consider it an answer. What lead the living beings to divide in male/female? Even more, there are living being that didn't divide at all and are still living today, so it's not a key mutation.
Man... this is really interesting. I'll research more about it!
+rushy scoper As Tadashi said, if an organism doesn't die it also doesn't change. If you look at complex life (non singled celled forms) you'll find that they normally live long enough to reproduce and then it starts to die off. In some species that produce many young in one go (salmon for instance) it reproduces just once and dies. In other extremes where it's normal for a single offspring then the organism will normally live long enough to reproduce 4 or 5 times, possibly more, ie enough to ensure the continuation of the species.
This means a shorter life span gives a more rapid "turnover" in evolutionary possibilities if you will. So any organism that does not reproduce will be out competed for resources....maybe not by it's generation but by it's competitors a few generations down the line......this is why nothing lives for ever.
They actually do. Some bacterias kind of "run away" from while cells inside our bodies. I'm aware that it's some sort of simple water concentration difference, but it clearly selected the right things to "run away" from.
Extremely simplified, but containing absolutely no falsehoods or misleading pseudo-facts.
i like!
What do you mean no falsehoods, he completely ignores the Cambrian explosion, and where the genetic information came from for species changing ie fish to mammal. Darwins theory only explains Micro evolution which we see in Natural selection . For example different types of cats, from a domestic cat to a Lion. What Darwin did say in his work The Origin of species in 1859 that eventually the fossil record will show the transition species . Here we are 160 yrs later and no transition species and we have millions of fossils. Like gives birth to like, the genetic information is just NOT THERE to jump from one species to another.
If Darwin was around now he would refute his own theory.
You hit the nail on the head with "extremely simplified". Simplification allows you to omit vital details, like why we have found half a million fish fossils but not one single transitional form, why there are no transitional forms for plants, or why DNA cannot produce any usable new information. Why do you think Gould & Eldridge have been pulling their hair out over this for decades.
Theres a lot of pseudo facts. There's no evidence of spontaneous creation of self replicating molecules. The assembly of molecules like ARN are impossible to happen spontaneously.

Why isn't this stuff on Discovery Channel prime time? Oh because Amish Mafia is on then. Nevermind
I miss old Discovery channel so much ... same as "History" channel.
+fides5566 don't forget "MTV!" remember the days when they used to play music videos and have news about the music industry? yeah, me neither... ok, well barely. :/
because those claims are not proven, so they can't be said to be science. and they are not religious either. So!
Science "proves" nothing. It gives theoretical models to explain facts observed in natural world. The best model to explain biology is the Theory of Evolution.
It's part of the evolution. From without internet to having internet access for the masses. So those Discovery Channel, History Channel, and MTV (aka traditional TV) will or have to be phased out to some degrees. It's more convenient for the internet and smartphones. It's almost "natural selection". You discard useless "traits" to survive and adapt useful "traits" to survive.
Discovery Channel, History Channel, and MTV had to change in order to adapt as well, or they will die out.
Evolution and natural selection are everywhere.
The answer is yes. Science CAN EXPLAIN the origin of life. Of course, scientists are still working on details of explanations of various possible origins of life, and its possible that we may never know for sure which possible origin of life was THE origin of life that actually allowed the beginnings of the evolutionary path that produced us, but whatever it was, given enough time and effort, and a sufficient opportunity to work out an explanation, science most certainly is capable of being used as a tool to do so successfully... so, yes. Science can.
You sound like a true believer. What branch of science? And who is going to do that? I have my doubts. All subjects have as their basis a point of first assumption. In man's technology this is usually weak and nonfactual. So it would be very interesting to know what that point exactly is in this case. Since you are so convinced, any idea?
Gunter Raffel Science is a process. The process is not restricted to functioning within branches.
Gunter Raffel It may be that science already has explained the origin of life here on Earth, as there are theories of abiogenesis which explain quite well how life could have gotten started on a planet like this one, and very likely how life did start on many planets much like this one, but since we can't travel back in time to see exactly how life on this planet started, we wouldn't necessarily recognize an explanation of how life on this planet started if he had one. That does not mean we can't come up with an explanation. It simply means we may not know for certain exactly when we have done so.
It's a bit like if I were to foll a six sided dice a million times, and then ask you to theorize what numbers came up on the first three rolls. You know they were each in the range of one through six, so you have one chance in six of getting any one of them right in a single try, and if you guess each of those possible values once as the first number that came up, you are certain to have gotten that first number right... but on which guess? Of course, the kind of life we have on this planet tells us quite a bit about the possibilities for its origin, as do other factors such as the chemicals available on our planet to work with, the size of the planet, the distance from our local star, details about the Earth's moon, and so on.
However, if life on this planet was planted here by life from somewhere else, instead of happening through abiogenesis, how would we know that? The answer is that we wouldn't know for sure unless sufficient evidence had been left behind, and that does not appear to be the case. If life had been brought here from another planet, for example, we would not expect to find something like the Cambrian explosion, UNLESS the life brought here had been si simple that the evidence left behind would likely give us no clue that life had not formed here on its own, while we would definitely expect an event of that type with abiogenesis forming primitive life, because random changes would at first have little or no distinct advantages or disadvantages, and the early structured multi-cellular life forms would have likely had too much simpler life around it to consume as food for any meaningful competition to begin.
If the origin of life matched any religion's creation story, since all such stories (at least that I'm aware of) involve higher order life forms being made at about the same time which were quite different from each other, rather than evolving out of more primitive forms, we should see evidence as such in the fossil records, which we do not. Of course, it is possible that some such story is true but does not go into enough detail, for example leaving out any mention of evolution being used in the process over long time scales, but if that were the case then we should see evidence in the fossil records of life having come about in the order mentioned in such a story. Again.... we do not.
You have added nothing meaningful or new. The video presentation already said it all that is to be said. So why repeat it?
Gunter Raffel I wasn't repeating. I was answering the question. And no, the video did not say it all, nor did it actually answer the question.... so I did.
Thank you for making this video. I was looking for a video like this.
Very good video and explained..
Appreciated
It amazes me how some religious people almost shit their pants on the idea that there is things that we yet don't know. There is a lot of things that we don't know but when it comes to the origin of life they are so freaked out that they rather oppress and ignore what we actually know and put some sort of vague place holder deity in that spot instead. They seems to feel so much better when they don't have to think about this at all.
The fact that they perhaps wasn't created specificity for some glorious purpose obviously make some people very uncomfortable, it makes them loose all that can be called being rational and logic.
You are OK as you are. It's OK for you not to know everything because we have all resources to find out more about the world we live in, we have done so for a really long time now and it's working out fine. You are fully capable about making your own future and find out what suits you and what makes you happy, you don't need anyone else to do this for you.
wooe true, we can't go past what happened before the big bang or what really caused it, there are many questions about our bodies, atoms, space, etc but since we can't give proper evidence, and this is all just theory they go with some fairytale concerning someone named 'god' but yet god is also a theory and there is no evidence at all he is real, what if the bible was written to be a children's boom?
Wooe i have no problem with science, i view it as a handy tool to find the true nature of the universe. Science tells me that there are laws in nature, laws of attraction and replusion, laws of motion, laws of gravity and many many others. We are told that if any of these laws had any different values than the ones they have that galaxies, stars, planets and even matter would not have formed. All of nature exists in harmony from the smallest quark to entire universe itself and if you can't see the intelligent design in it your faith in chance is much bigger than mine is in God.
The video says they can form RNA in the lab and can coax a reaction from it with iron. But they then tell you that RNA can't even live without DNA to give it instructions. When you consider the incredibly large amount of information stored in even the smallest forms of DNA, how can you believe hundreds of thousands of molecules, consisting of trillions and trillions of atoms, all came together at one instant of time by chance and in just the right order? Again, your faith has to be stronger than mine, scientifically speaking.
To sum up the video: Science doesnt know how life began. Athiests have my permission to shit themselves.
We are not shitting our pants. Just calling out bullshit as is our right and our responsibility. :)
We do know, or we wouldn't make such a fuss
Hell yes to this video!!

I really got to say you guys do a great job thank you for the information I so appreciate it
Love the video. This was an area I knew little about. I've always likened the origins of life to something akin to Conway's Game of Life or some other type of cellular automate.
I love how all the people who support the fact of evolution comment show proof to hold up their statesment, while the creationist just say say, "God made the earth."
Or they try to prove God exists... By using the Bible as their evidence... Seriously? Why use the Bible to show a person who doesn't believe in the Bible that the Bible is truth.
Bible is JUST A FUCKING BOOK
THATS A FAIRY TALE. CREATIONIST FUCK OFF

Do you have a better suggestion?
@@VaughanMcCue yes a creator
Excellent as always. Should have a follow-up showing the progression of prokaryotes to eukaryotes possibly via endosymbiosis. Mitochondria from heterotrophic prokaryotes and chloroplasts from autotrophic prokaryotes.
So those two created the eukaryote?
Marcus Moody It has been observed that larger prokaryotes engulf smaller unicells and instead of "digesting" them, use them for other metabolic functions. The same with plastids or small cyanobacteria. This endosymbiosis is thought to be the start of early eukaryotes.
There's a lot of geological time involved here and not enough space to detail the rise of endoplastistic reticullem, ribosomes, various vesicles etc. - Find a university level text-book to argue against (Campbell's "Biology" would be my choice).
There are many gradual steps on the emergence of 'true cells', but we have very good evidence of how prokaryotes became the cells that all multicellular life arose from.
Martyn Jones I know that they would engulf mitochondria, but an entire class of cell entirely? Interesting.
Marcus Moody They weren't mitochondria at that stage, just an engulfed smaller prokaryote that eventually served an energy process within the cell. Similar were indentations of the cellular membrane to give rise to other organelles, also initially redundant, but eventually useful.

The major take away here is when you have energy being pushed into a chemical system, that system will tend to greater complexity over time. On Earth, the energy source is the sun and the heat of the earth itself.
energy randomly distributed will destroy unless it has a receiver
sammy strain What? How in the world would you expect energy to destroy anything without being received?
Donald Kronos it needs a mechanism to utilise the energy or the mass release of energy will only be destructive . The recipient needs to be in place before the energy is released
sammy strain Absolutely not true. Just because humans have learned to take advantage of the ability to arrange things to behave in ways that we can predict, does not mean that nature needs to behave like we do in order to do anything non-destructive. You're jumping to a false conclusion. Not bad for an understanding of macroscopic mechanics as utilized by humans, but not an accurate overall picture.

This makes more sense to me than a male conservative "creator" who doesn't want us to masturbate.
he isnt male
trustedlogamers Good point. I personally prefer God to be a women. And who is to say that there is only one God. Some tell us that there are many, and even gods above the gods of universes. This makes more sense and for a much better game, for sure. If there would only be one then he/she would certainly go mad quite soon. Just imagine being The Only One. No game at all. Wouldn't that drive anyone crazy, goods included. I don't know about you guys, but I have no doubt about that. And as far as the universe (physical) is concerned, built on nothing but destructive force, I think that it is a dope head's universe. If I were to be God I and together with a few other decent fellows could have build a much better one. Don't be shy. Think about it.

Nice information
I'm rewatching this after many years since I am now taking a course on Energy and Evolution at university. After restlessly digging through the literature, I'd conclude that we will never really know for sure what the origin of life was, but I believe that we're pretty good at coming up with ideas and testing them, and that we already have quite a good idea of how it may have been, regardless of the fact that there are different schools of thought.
Holy shit, that is some really groundbreaking stuff.

There is an explanation of the origin of life. Some just choose not to accept it. What I don’t understand is if evolution is true, why are humans still humans?

Nice and succinct.
That alien life form shown on the end of the video bears some striking resemblance with the Tardigrade, which is in fact an amazingly long lived creature - surviving all the past mass extinctions and can in fact survive time in space. He is a cute little thing too. :)

I love these videos. Though in this one- the sound added alongside the dolphin is a kookaburra bird. The sound was used in the tv series and movie Flipper- and is commonly associated, incorrectly, with dolphins.
This could be the most important thing I have ever learned

Human: how did life started? *doing research to find out how*
Alien/higher being: look at these chunks of atoms trying to understand how it came to be. Pathetic, complex chunks of atoms trying to understand itself, hysterical.smh
Lol.

*cellphone bwahahaha* Hilarious! look at that chunk of atoms trying to assert how it came to be and how it didn't come to be.
I thought that but how did the aliens come to be
Why aliens always think about us not about themself that how the hell the came into existence.
Just a question crossed on my mind. I know that life could emerge from non-living material. And I know that free will is an illusion because my decision is based on the chemical reactions happening inside my brain. But can anybody please explain to me how can life have consciousness? Where do our mind reside? How can I experience and perceive the world as it is? I don't know if other life form beside me have consciousness at all, but can science at some point explain this to me? I'm really curious about it.
Damn! Probably the most interesting comment and nobody commented back. You sir/madaam/chemicals/meaningless being/ have legit questions that actually need answering.

How can life come from material that’s not alive
How does organization come from chaos
How does the earth we live on have everything it needs to support life
It would be a productive line of research to actually investigate if life has originated from a single source, or if life began in different environments on earth.
Unfortunately, the evidence seems to indicate that life arose very quickly -- early in the geological history of Earth. That was a very, very long time ago, and much of what happened then is absolutely lost forever; even many of the rocks are gone or inaccessible.
@Stated Clearly, that is an amazing video (as always) but it has been 7 years since you uploaded it, would you mind doing another video explaining the origin of life in more depth and include the work of Jeremy England about life being an inevitable consequence of thermodynamics. There aren't many videos on the internet touching that subject.

(( indeed we have created them from what they know )) old book , great vedio BTW .
My cat loves your videos!
As an example lets say creating life requires you to throw 1000 dice and they all have to land on a six.
Pretty small chance of it happening right?
But what if we are allowed to throw multiple times? What if we can try a 1000 times, or a million or a trillion times?
We do not even know the true extent of existence, so how can you say the chance too small for it to happen if we do not even know how often you can try?
Also keep in mind that failure means there is no observer to even note the failure, since the observer is the product of life itself.
+CPTANT
also it;s not that you need a whole strand of dna to form in a single step. the smaller components have an affinity for one another. and the even smaller components also do. so you start off with very simple small molecules. and they slowly group together, and form more complex structures, until you end up with something that resembles dna...
DNAunion
Yes you are right about those odds with these particular numbers, however every chance approaches 1 as the number of attempts approaches infinity.
Hell, perhaps the universe did throw 10^770 times or more. Even if that were true we wouldn't know of all the failures since we are a product of the occurrence itself.
This is an extreme case aproach, I can't quantify the odds of life originating on a planet. It is meant to show that even events with the tiniest of odds will happen if we throw often enough.
+DNAunion What if you considered all events and all places possible- surely the chance of life approaches 100%?
DNAunion I'm not making a claim, simply asking a question.
DNAunion Considering the universe is vast, infinite maybe, wouldn't the chances of a suitable place for life approach infinite too? Even with a small chance of life, an infinite amount of planets should negate the small chance of life forming, wouldn't it?
I heard somewhere that if the universe was vast enough there would be an exact copy of you. Simply because the probability approached 100% as the size and amount of matter in the universe approached infinite.
The meaning of life is very simple. It's 42.
it is for to end
That was not the question

Question on my friends test:
Explain how planets are formed or create:
"God made it"
@jia khan What made god and where is this magically enchanted beast?
I'm currently in college and at this point I feel like I have learned quite a bit about cell biology in classes, and also just form some personal studying. I am going to be honest and say that it just seems more and more unlikely to me that life could have possibly formed at random by non-life. The more I learn about the inner-workings of cells, even the simplest of them, the harder it is to think that they could have just formed on accident. There are many, and I mean MANY, systems and basic processes that cells have that need to be in place in order for them to work, many of which are interdependent on one another. It is truly mind boggling to see how chemistry and physics work so perfectly together to allow cells to preform the processes they need to do in order to function. I feel like this video, and many other presentations like it, really over simplify how extremely difficult it is to build even simple cells, especially at random. The video mentions how basic amino acids, basic sugars and a few other molecules used in cells have been proven to form outside of life, but if you study cells deeper you can see that they are much more complex than just a bunch of these basic components put together (NOT that this video makes that claim, but I think it is only fair to point that out for people who might not know that). I guess, the point I'm getting at here is that even basic cells are extremely intricate in design, and how simple this video seems to put the origin of life just doesn't sell the idea for me. I urge everyone to read more about the inner-workings of cells elsewhere online (I say this because youtube videos are often too short and over-simplified, which is fine for its platform, however it just doesn't do much justice for this topic). From my personal experience of studying the issue it just seems almost impossible that abiogenesis could ever occur, even in very controlled conditions.
Sorry for any poor grammar I know I'm clearly not an English major, but I just wanted to state my opinion. I am not trying to start a heated debate I just felt compelled try to show people that there is a much bigger picture to paint here than how this video states it.
I'm a theist, and I love studying science, and this is exactly how I feel. There is so much order, even in the most basic cells. It's like every organalle inside a cell has a purpose and it's playing its role, and whatever it does is useful to the other components of a cell in some way or the other. Without any one of the components, a cell wouldn't function.
It's the order that gets me, and we know from science as well as our common sense, that order requires intelligence. Randomness and chance does not produce order and purpose. Intelligence is a great requirement, something which many people don't realise. Anyways, it's nice to see that someone else sees it the same way that I do.
I've been scrolling thru the comments hoping to find one like yours. Its a pity it took so long. I wish everyone would do as you recommend. Billions of years doesn't actually aid the cause of abiogenesis. In reality it probably makes it worse. I don't see what's so threatening about considering the role of a higher intelligence. It's really the only thing that makes sense.
YES YES YES!!!!!! THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE
as of today 6/11/2020 science has never been further away from explaining the origin of life

@@lukeabs9333 Yes, sir
And it will never exist because the idea that non-living, non-conscience atom molecules managed to form living cells and DNA, and somehow these cells managed to change the DNA to evolve into complex conscious multicellular organism like humans is just so unthinkable
Great Value Bleach we have observed rna molecules spontaneously forming on their own, we have observed lipids spontaneously forming on their own as well as forming lipid membranes, and we have observed amino acids forming on their own.
The only people who think it’s unthinkable are ignorant people.
@@carlboi5652 your vision is so narrow so of course someone like you would never be able to think it
+stated clearly can you post a video describing the life cycle of butterfly and explain each stage in evolutionary perspective?
That's not on our current list of projects but it is a good idea for an article at least. I'll see if one of my entomologist friends would have time to do a breakdown of the evolution of metamorphosis.
+Stated Clearly you should explain how the caterpillar knows how and when to build a cocoon and stay in it for a certain amount of time without ever being instructed how to do so? "the memories came in it's DNA from its parents" then why don't we get memories passed to us from our parents? and why would its ancestors ever start making cocoons? or how do birds know where to go when they migrate? how were flowers pollinated before bees existed? how did snakes spiders and other organisms that use venom randomly develop it? how does an animal randomly start producing deadly acid that it then knows how to use?
+Arthur Oberemok (somebodyepik) we have memories passed on to us. drop a baby in the water for example. How dose it know to hold it's breath in water. There are many more like that if u do some research.
***** So what, are we once upon a time aquatic apes or something?
+Arthur Oberemok (somebodyepik)
Butterfly metamorphosis is quite well studied and understood. The cells that become wings are not fully activated until the penultimate instar (chrysalis), similar to a human chin not growing a beard until nearly two decades of life, (and never in females). Metamorphosis is explained by delayed timing of gene expression especially in climates with marked seasonal changes. There is little qualitative difference in metamorphosis and the complex mechanisms of development in embryology.

HENNI Mohamed Just curious. What kind of rock in what universe are you riding on? My universe is not so vast really and definitely not empty. Come over and have a look.
Gunter Raffel After thorough inspection I have come to conclude that I reside in what consists of but endless stretches of nothingness, albeit the odd collection of mere particles held together by the weakest, though most unresistable force. This universe can be described as vast in a way that is barely accessible to our understanding. Furthermore its emptyness may be reckoned as the physical quality that made it possible for such a consciousness too evolve without being wiped out by a collision between any two objects in said universe. In a more philosophical manner, it can be defined by the inability of this consciousness to find other beings apart from those in its immediate surroundings.

Cool! 😀
such a strange phenomenon life is many animals must wonder as I have wondered for so long
@Dirk Remmelzwaal Most proteins are then assembled into complex molecular machines such as the polymerase and the ribosome that, in combination, perform specific tasks within the cell. This is still a loooooooooong way from a living cell. So, you see the magnitude of your faith in chance. Perhaps you should read the "old book" and see what it says before you place your faith in chance. And you might also consider which is the pseudoscience here: Intelligent Design or Random Chance. Good Luck!
