The Science Of Life

Life is something unexplainable, but most would accept the fact that the way to explain would fall into 2 categories. Science and story (mythology, and Bible). There will be more branching but let’s just focus on one of them, science.

Science believes that everything started with the Big Bang. After that, planets formed. On Earth, elements started to complex itself gradually, becoming cells. There were a bunch of these on Earth which then became a ‘primordial soup’. Eventually, these complex cells began eating other complex cells.

After some time, these cells became animals by becoming organs, a system, and finally a body. They were mostly in the ocean as the first cells lived in water because that’s where they fed. For plants, they mostly evolved from sea algae. Animals would then take some time to move on land. And when they did, they hunted others for food. Dinosaurs then came to be. They were large because long-necked dinosaurs needed to eat from tall trees. Then, predators became bigger because they couldn’t originally take on the big long-necked dinosaurs.

A meteor came, and killed the dinosaurs, but left tiny omnivores that lived in the dirt. They evolved into monkey-like animals that humans evolved from.
