Just study the lives of a few animals. They have far less choice than humans do. EDIT: There are no proper scientific *theories* for the origin of life - but there are several hypotheses (the difference being that an hypothesis has not been as rigorously tested, and is not as widely-accepted as a theory).
The origin of life is called "abiogenesis", and there are several possible hypotheses. Probably the best-accepted onecurrently is the"RNA world" hypothesis.
This hypothesis notes that while DNA is an excellent information-storage system for the genome, and proteins are structural and catalytic, RNA can do *both*. It can act as information-storage (for example in the genomes of RNA viruses), and it can be structural (e.g. - the ribosome) and catalytic ("ribozymes": RNA-based enzymes).
The theory goes that the conditions in pre-life earth were amenable for the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules such as polysaccharides, polynucleotides, polypeptides, and lipids (this has been borne-out by work like the famous Miller-Urey experiment).Some of these chemically-synthesised molecules will have included short oligonucleotides of RNA with random sequences. Some of these sequences will have been capable of "autocatalysis" - making copies of themselves (as DNA can do), and obviously this willhave led to more and more of this type of RNA oligonucleotide existing. RNA autocatalysis is notoriously error-prone, so mutations will have been abundant: some of these mutations will have led to dead-ends, wherethe molecule could no longer autocatalyse, but others will have improved efficiency. Yet other mutations could lead to the RNA being able to associate with other molecules, like short oligopeptides. This association would sometimes have led to an advantageous behaviour - like increased stability for either or both partners, improved autocatalysis, or even the ability to catalyse the*formation* of oligopeptides on the RNA.
And there you have the beginnings of"life", with the genome-protein relationship, and natural selection (with the most stable and best at autocatalysis becoming more predominant).
The wikipedia article on abiogenesis gives a more detailed description of the various hypotheses.

There is life because of one person: God

And to Prophet: Dude, animals? NO! Animals have rights like we do, so don't act like they don't. I love animals.

Obviously you couldn't grasp my point. I haven't said they don't have the rights. I said they have less optimism and wish than we do. But, they are still living. Animals can live. Then, Humans should also live. If animals can live with less advantages, why can't humans? That was my initial and core point.

^ So how do you define "advantages"?

@Prophet: We may be so incredibly more advanced than all other species, but they are more smart then you take them for. There's gorillas that can slightly communicate with humans through sign language. Koko the gorilla can understand over 1,000 signs of the American sign langauge. And over 2,000 words in English. They are capable of developing and understanding a language outside of their own natural one. Animals are capable of creating technology too you know. There's chimps in Senegal that make their own spears to hunt other animals with. Humans are seperior because we have a more efficient brain and way of understanding. But give some animals another million years or so and they might be just as smart as we were a few thousand years ago~

Tons of asteroids over the course of billions of years crashed into Earth bringing water and bacterial life which over more billions of years slowly evolved into life we know today.
That's the most accepted scientific explanation but choose to believe in whatever you wish~

So where did the first bacteria come from? ;P
LaDispute posted over a year ago

Probably came from some other planet that had the right conditions to form life~

No, I mean the first bacteria evaaaa. 'The conditions were right' doesn't explain how they came to be; they don't pop out of nowhere.

Not sure. Maybe it's always existed :P

I could go really in depth on this, but that will probably start arguments.

So basically there is life because everything about earth's atmosphere is perfect to sustain life. There is saying "life always finds a way" and that can be applied to why there is life, in science if there is the perfect sitiuation for something to happen, it will most likely happen

God I love science

and as Stella said the bacteria from space brought via asteroids. Basically humans are nuclear space trash

Not trying to argue here but its just that...nothing in the physical world is perfect. Just saying, not trying to be mean.

Life is on earth so people could have a choice to follow their own path, God or Saten. If you are not following God you are following Saten, there's nothing in between.

That is what I belive, I don't care what other people belive, you can belive what ever you want.
