Existence of Life in the Field of Science

Take a moment to consider the world around you. The endless variety of life forms, from microscopic organisms to giant mammals, from soaring birds to creeping insects, from forests and rivers to grasslands and deserts—all are testimony to the amazing complexity of life. But how did it all begin? I believe that there is abundant scientific evidence for the existence of God. This evidence fits so well with the concept of an intelligent designer that it makes more sense to conclude that life was designed than that it occurred by chance. Here are some examples:

The existence of life demands that the universe developed into a suitable arena for it.

It is necessary for the universe to have the right amount of matter and energy, laws of physics, size, and age. The more finely-tuned these parameters are, the less we can expect to find planets with life on them around other stars.

The existence of life demands that the laws of physics and chemistry function in a suitably consistent and predictable way.

If you were to dig deep enough into any part of the Earth, you would find that it is composed of the same basic elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These are the atoms present in your body and mine. They are also found in our planet's crust; they comprise a large portion of its atmosphere (79% nitrogen); they exist in all living things on Earth; they exist in interstellar space (the vast vacuum between stars); they exist throughout the universe—everywhere we know that there is a matter at all. The same holds true for other “building blocks” needed for life: hydrogen cyanide (HCN), ammonia (NH3), water (H2O) carbon dioxide ((CO2)), etc.

All of these chemicals must be readily available anywhere that planets form so that organic chemistry can begin to operate once conditions allow it.

The existence of life demands that matter can be concentrated locally in conditions suitable for the chemical reactions associated with life.

It is one thing to say that matter cannot be condensed into a black hole, but another thing entirely to say that it cannot be condensed into a localized area with suitable conditions for chemical reactions.

The existence of life demands that it can develop from inanimate materials by chemical processes.

The first living thing must have been created by chemical reactions. In fact, the first life was created by the same processes as the first living thing. It is likely that these chemicals are still reacting today, producing more and more complex life forms.

The existence of rational, thinking life demands that self-replicating chemical reactions can generate sufficiently complex reactions to enable information to accumulate, allowing more complex forms to evolve.

Let's look at the human mind. A single brain is incredibly complex, with billions of neurons connected to each other via trillions of synapses. The human brain processes information and stores memories in a way that cannot be directly compared with any other animal or computer system that we know of. This structure arose through millions of years of evolution, which allowed primates to develop more complex forms of communication and interaction with their environment -- including other animals like us!

We can see how this process might continue indefinitely: As natural selection increases the complexity of living organisms, it makes sense that there could be an increase in their ability to understand the world around them; if there are more intelligent minds out there then maybe they're able to think up new ideas about how things work (like science!), or create new ways for people to communicate information between each other (like math!). It's not hard at all for us humans today - who have access to knowledge from all overtime periods - to give credit where credit's due by saying yes indeedy-doody we (obviously) exist because otherwise none.

The possibility of evolutionary change depends on the capacity for variation to be transmitted from one generation to the next.

The process of evolution is a slow process, but it is not a random one. It is a gradual process that can take millions of years. Evolution requires the capacity for variation to be transmitted from one generation to the next. This is why genetic modification can lead to new species: The DNA of modified organisms will differ from their "parents."

This transmission must be sufficiently accurate that the new generation will not differ markedly from the previous one, but with sufficient errors (errors being caused by mutations) that the evolving population can adapt to changing conditions.

For example, if you were building a computer program, you would want it to be accurate and reliable—and not so complicated that it couldn't run on your computer! But at the same time, if you wanted your program to run on other computers as well...well, then you might want to include some kind of built-in error detection and correction mechanism.

A process involving many chemical reactions is required if an organism is to develop its own shape, form, behavior, and internal structure, and also its own internal chemical processes governing growth and reproduction.

The complexity of life, including its internal chemical processes governing growth and reproduction, is a result of the countless chemical reactions that take place within it. The process which involves the transformation of matter from one state to another is called ‘metabolism’ or ‘cellular respiration'.

The universe needs to have been around for a long time to produce the necessary chemical reactions. In order to produce complex organic compounds, such as amino acids and nucleotides, an indefinite amount of time must have been available, as well as a suitable environment. For example, in order for these reactions to occur on Earth, they would need certain conditions such as liquid water and suitable temperatures (around 0°C). These conditions were only present here because our planet is situated at exactly the right distance from the Sun so that it receives just enough energy from its star without being burned up!

The odds are stacked against life originating naturally: there are many other factors involved besides simply having enough time available. The universe must also be in just the right state for life to form and evolve over billions of years into complex organisms like ourselves (which is indeed unlikely).

The reality of life and the complexity of living organisms are facts that have come to light as a result of research in science. Such researches require a great deal of time, dedication, and money. The knowledge gained is not sufficient for making any firm logical or mathematical deductions about the origins of life or its existence. However, it is sufficient for providing evidence that the origin and evolution of life are neither miraculous nor accidental, but can be explained in material terms.
