Why Does Life Exist

Your premise is wrong by about 100%.

I meant no premise. That is a belief that I find true. I tried to explain and failed using my belief and I wish to hear yours. The reason it was wrong was because there was none.

Well, I geuss that the thing about us being made of microorganisms is a premise, but that is a proven fact. Multi-cellular organisms form from single-celled organisms working together.

I don't understand your question. "Why does life exist?" Why must there be a particular reason? Life exists for the same reason that everything else does.

Yup. The ol' teleological fallacy.

Pos, you have answered your own q. Things are the way they are because that's the only way they can be. What we have is only what is possible, "natural," as you say

So She (It) doesn't hafta create, She has no choice. Whether She even exists is a sort of dualism full of contradiction and paradox, depending entirely on how you define Her

That is utter nonsense, dale.

To an omnipotent force ("She" as you call it, "God" as most other people refer to it) literally nothing is impossible. That's what "omnipotent" means. When you say that what is, is "the only way it can be" you are only demonstrating the limits of the human mind, human understanding.

Alas, Andy

That would be true if it were possible. The apodictical existential pantheist however maintains however that Her very existence is defined as only what is possible

Yes Andy, I know, thanks

Yea Andy, and I'm trying to push our understanding a little. My present advantage: no contradiction, no paradox

My question wasn't how. It was why. How is it possible. Consciousness is something that I don't understand. The need to survive and reproduce. It doesn't seem possible, yet, here it is.

I don't think anybody fully understands consciousness or the mind, but that doesn't suggest a supernatural hand. The idea that the universe if fine tuned for life seems backwards. It makes more sense to say that it's life that's fine tuned for the universe. Cognitive adaptation to the point of self-awareness - albeit limited, in my estimation - is mundanely explainable, given the evidence, as just another one of the amazing ways that life has found to fine tune itself to the environment.

I also read recently that a earth-like planet was identified in an older galaxy.

Kepler has found a handful of close matches recently. A few in the goldilocks zone, too, iirc.

To make the whole thing more interesting

Which is???

I'd agree Fbm. The term "supernatural" implies impossibility

Intuition suggests that conditions necessary for the very existence of life are somehow brought about by natural means, ei, evolution. Just how, is the mystery

Proper environmental conditions, perhaps.

Sorry Cis if I wasn't clear, but it's the evolution of those very conditions that remain so mysterious

But it seems to me, the Big Bang is the basis.

I'm glad that my thoughts in the beginning of the XXI century are giving fruits.

The idea that we are an association of micro-organisms its mine, and I posted it in several forums before the first human genome map was released. (Journals and scientific institutions are ruled by a kind of inquisition, you just can't present papers debunking their silly theories, they will bury the best arguments and evidence before admitting they were dead wrong.)

I posted it against the obsolete and good for nothing theory of evolution.

And, going to your question, there is a reason, but it is not religious or philosophical, but it is purely scientific.

I think that first the theory of evolution must be officially discarded in order to show why life came to be. You see, evolutionists "steal" any new idea, discovery and evidence in order to back up their obsolete theory, and they will manipulate the given information in their favor.
