Why does life exist?

[Anonymous No.11394258]

Because the eukaryotic nucleus somehow came to be. If you mean eukaryotic life.

[Anonymous No.11394292]

Life popped up when a group of atoms, when exposed to an external energy source, like the sun or similar, and inside some big heat bath, like an ocean or atmosphere, will gradually restructure itself to better dissipate heat. Therefore, it's a form of matter that is much better at capturing energy from around itself and dissipating it as heat. Therefore, lie is much more entropic than inanimate material.

No, those are the low IQ questions. The question of "why" is in itself an anomaly we struggle to make sense of yet can't stop obsessing over or stop being infatuated with.

A bunch of stuff got really good at self propagating. Life exists because reality exists. Reality exists because if it didn't it wouldn't exist. It's pretty awesome, thanks jesus.

Two possibilities:
-Creation
-Underlying logic that drives the universe allows for it to occur via a given starting state, and that state occurred, and it did.

Realistically it could be either one, and it could vary throughout the universe which is predominant. The self organizing properties of biological systems implies a probable abiotic genesis of at least one founder organism.

Evolution and creation are not incompatible. I don't know why some are so terrified, so utterly deeply bothered, by the idea that man or some other beings were influenced by an encounter with another species, or if evolution occurs via mechanisms which are not strictly Darwinian (eg Lysenkoism or that other one Freud was into). I just don't see what the big deal is.

The question of why just becomes philosophical bs when talking about life. Why life exist? Just give some weird ass answer that's good to hear and you are satisfied. How asks for proofs in this matter.

that's what is most peculiar about the question of why. it can easily lead to the generic modern day self-satisfaction that is philosophy today. hard evidence is crucial for a satisfying answer to why. Answering the question of "why" requires the most amount of effort of any question.

But how much rna and how much bionome?

[Anonymous No.11395648]

You can ask "why".
There's no problem with asking "why".
Sometimes "why" boils down to a set of understandable circumstances resulting in an outcome.
"Why did this log catch on fire?" has a knowable outcome.
"Why did this body begin producing cancerous cells?" has a knowable outcome.

Sometimes the answer to these questions of "why" are satisfying, because the answer is discreet, and leads to solutions, or to new possibilities.
When we asked "why is uranium warm" the answers brought us opportunities.

But as with all things, "why" doesn't always result in a useful answer, or a humanly satisfying one.

All the evidence we have about the origin of life suggests that life exists because a chemical process happened to make something that made more of itself, and this process repeated and became more complex over time. That's all.

When you ask "why does life exist" you're asking for meaning, but you're misunderstanding your own question, you don't understand what "why" means. It's not a question that exists to satisfy your need for that meaning, it's just a cudgel you're wielding because you want to feel important, rather than a tool to extract what IS, and when the answer doesn't tickle your human sense of self-importance, you impotently defend it as if a greater sense of meaning in the answer to your "why" question must exist, that, "that's not what I mean".

What you're really asking isn't, "Why does life exist", what you're asking is "Why is life important."
That question may not have a discreet answer, it may be subjective, or it may have an answer you don't like, and so you have missed the point of what "why" has value in asking.
