How is there a universe created? How is there planets? How is there Earth and forest and ocean? How are there whales? How is there sea creatures, random like urchins? How is there monkey, giraffe, bear, elephants? Do they make animals in a lab? Why do some people think humans come from ape when rhinos didn’t come from hippopotomus or dolphins probably didn’t come from fucking whales? Why are there such incredible differences between species of animal? There is more of a difference between different types of animals but plants have less of a difference still variation but not as drastic as say the difference between a giraffe and hippopotomus. How do human and animal very first begin to be brought to life? How did they form out of nothing? How did they form organs? Why do lungs, heart, brain function like they do?
Well.
First off, why did even planet form at all! and where did all the gases and chemicals come from? How could it have started from NOTHING AT ALL! How come there are other universes in different galaxies with different planets that we can’t reach? Why is there a stratosphere that we can’t cross? Why is there a church and a bible? What is the first book ever written?
How could even a first human be formed? How could a human be born without a prior womb to grow from? Why are humans more intelligent than other animals? Why did birds form? Why is there different eye colors? Why is there life at all on Earth? WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THOSE OTHER GALAXIES!!!
I read some of origin of species but it never answer my questions very well.
Do you think this life is real? What could happen after death if life itself is miraculous and inconceivable? Anything could happen. I had an idea that you fly out to another galaxy and then you start a different life form. I had a vision once that your soul is kept in a little box until it is released to a different world. Which would have to be inside this same entire universe because there couldn’t be anything else outside the conceivable universe? But not in this galaxy! on another planet in a different galaxy. Of course there is other strangeness in different galaxies that is alive because life is easy to create I suppose with it being so easy to maintain even when not wanted. It should be very easy to die with how simple life is created in a snap of a finger. Is why I think that there has to be much simplicity in forming such diverse species but it just looks complicated.
Life must not be incredible because it is so easy to stay alive if it were really that incredible you would have to work so hard to maintain it. You don’t even have to try to live you just do!! What I think is that maybe the creator wants to communicate but it cannot speak our language so we cannot hear it. Maybe he will speak if we listen. Maybe he can speak in the weather. Maybe the creator was just a drop in the ocean.
Dying is just as easy as living there is no work to it at all.
I was thinking maybe we are created in. Factory as some robotics

In order to answer such questions first, you must understand what the word ‘evidence’ means. In the scientific sense, evidence means providing empirical proof/data for a thing to exist which we detect with our senses.
For example, we know frogs exist, we can go out and observe them, study and weigh them, etc. We know that unicorns don’t exist because there is no proof of their existence. There are no unicorn fossils we can dig up like we can with dinosaurs.
We can conjecture a dimension or realm outside of our known universe where unicorns and goblins exist but it is a pointless exercise if we have no way of accessing this other realm. We must treat them as inexistent entities the same goes for gods, ghosts, cartoon characters and so on.
The story of how we came to be from the scientific perspective is one of the greatest stories ever told imo and not just that, it’s based on fact and mountains of evidence. Meanwhile, books like the Bible, Quran, Vedas, etc are nothing more than fables and myths from the Bronze Age.
Science and human knowledge have progressed greatly over 2,000 years. There’s really nothing of value to gain from these ancient fairy tale books and they are very often at odds with modernity which is much more advanced and civilized.
Where did the universe come from? Nobody knows, but there is zero evidence a superbeing made it and such an answer only begs the question where does this Creator come from. You haven’t answered the mystery of the universe, you just invented another mystery which requires its own evidence/explanation.
Science says it started from a Singularity. Where did the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs come from? Our observations of space rocks show that they are not controlled by any being, they were just leftover remnants from stellar explosions.
Likewise the universe came from the randomness of the energy field pervading space and we don’t know where any of it comes from either and I’m fine in not knowing. I’m not going to invent a fake answer then start believing it as some people do.
If a Creator does appear to us, proves that he is a god, then I’ll accept it but until then all that exists is the material universe and nothing more. Those who claim to “know” this Creator are either con-artists, liars or lunatics.
No argument intended. Just something cool to share.
There’s, I think, 1,000 galaxies in the universe
(The galaxies I see as kind of warps in the sky that you can shoot through to another side of, say, a mirror) and of course the universe being the entirety of everything contained within it. The closest galaxy being the Milky Way galaxy – which we do move across space towards and should reach in around 5 billion years and collide. Each of those 1,000 galaxy holds as many planets as our galaxies solar system. IF, you observe the planets that we have in our galaxy. We’ve seen and proclaimed no life currently on moon and mars. Please take the time to study and observe the vast differences and landscapes/atmospheres of each planet. IF that is just this galaxy, just as you get deeper and deeper into the ocean you will find more diversified species, just imagine what those planets would be like! There is no way there is not entirely new and different species on those planets… probably at least one planet in each of those 1,000 galaxies holds life!!! Now Alien is not just the stereotypical drawing by HG Wells “Zeta Reticulan”
HOW can one be satisfied with never being able to reach those galaxies to really know? There has to be some way to get to a new galaxy.. sadly we cannot fly and are held down by gravity. If there was antigravity, oh to float away into another galaxy.
I’d say I’ve been given 85 years to float in an anti-gravity mode into space and not be bound to the ground, right? How sweet would that be? Why are we stuck on the ground anyhow? Not cool man. IF ONLY TO SEE JUST ONE PLANET IN A SEPERATE GALAXY!!! TO CAPTURE ON PHOTO JUST ONE SEPERATE GALAXY OUT OF 1,000!!! It sounds so impossible, but it is out there, you know?
Anyway, the question still stands. A frog has been verified and named – yet the structure the bones form and the spasticity of the skin – what whirled together by a big gust of magic wind? The old magic egg.. proteins encoded to know exactly what shape to grow this frog into and to build its bones…. and the amino acids make up the proteins…. do you know of this process.. would you care to enlargen upon what I am speaking.
A like ‘magical’ protein found in the egg of the human to give them this sort of intelligence?
Does this mean every lake, every ocean, every resovoir where land is suppressed amongst a taller canyon, that meteor had struck down upon?
What I mean is… the “SPACE” had always just been there? Before the universe formed. Some reason I just can’t believe that… why are you able to move through, should it have not existed at all? I hear it’s been around 5 billion years. How could they measure that…. What about before those 5 billion years…
I added a quote to the OP if you would like to check out 😉
I’m not arguing either my friend and I hope I didn’t sound like I was. This is perhaps one of the most interesting subjects out there and I’m open to hearing any and all perspectives including religious ones though I will rectify any errors if I notice them and it’s nothing personal. 🙂
Given that you have a great curiosity on this topic, I’d strongly advise watching Youtube documentaries about Space, the Universe, Cosmology and so forth as I have. There are hundreds of great ones to see and a true wealth of information to glean and they’re really awe-inspiring and enjoyable to watch.
To clarify and answer a few things (according to astronomers), there are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way and there are 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. If the universe was the size of a very large library then the Milky Way would be a tiny dust mote, just to give you an idea.
It’s been said there are about 20 billion habitable Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone so the possibility of life emerging on these planets is very high. After the Big Bang there was only Hydrogen and Helium in the early universe. These gases combined due to gravity forming the first stars, which cooked up all the other elements in the universe. They exploded in supernovas, spreading their elements everywhere, thereafter more stars were created and did the same.
5 billion years ago the Earth was formed and eventually the building blocks of DNA (amino acids) arose in water, which turned into single-celled organisms and over time evolved into more complex creatures. These amino acids have also been created in labs which recreated the conditions on the early planet.
Watch vids on Evolution and you’ll see how physics becomes chemistry and then biology, eventually leading to humans, it is truly fascinating and certainly a far better explanation than what you’d find in any mythology book. While it looks like magic to us, in fact it is just the laws of nature/science and billions of years to make it happen.
Well the meteor that killed the dinosaurs caused massive devastation all over the Earth. It lead to sending up debris which blocked the sun for many years and killed off most life but it didn’t wipe everything out. Eventually lower lifeforms thrived and mammals took over.
Regarding Space, it’s always existed at least since the Big Bang, though we could be part of a larger universe, the Multiverse, an idea that I agree with which claims that we’re one of an infinite number of universes and ours just happened to have the right physics for intelligent life to emerge.
What created space or the multiverse? We have no idea and it is the greatest mystery of all. Imagine if you were dropped on a desert island and your past memory was wiped out. You’d wonder how that island got there, who ‘made’ it and put you on it.
Similarly, while we know our universe existed for over 14 billion years, we have no way of knowing its origin and I don’t think we’ll ever know unless we had a time machine.
Forgot to add, interesting Huxley quote, but as you know I don’t believe in the ‘supernatural’ or the ‘afterlife.’ I think both “heaven and hell” are right here and they’re just ideas that we humans invented to describe what would be good and bad places for us to experience based on our biology as humans.
Just think about this. Space is expanding, so more space is popping into existence every moment, out of nowhere. How odd is that to think about? And empty space isn’t empty at all. Virtual particles spontaneously emerge and vanish like fizz in a well-shaken soda.
Why is any of it here? And why is it so stupid and weird? I have a feeling that only cats have the answer, and all they ever say is meow.
Lol, I knew it! The cats have been hiding the secrets of the universe from us since the beginning. 🙂
Yes it truly is crazy, strange and amazing. This newly created space is also adding to the Dark Energy that’s making the universe expand even faster.
At least we know now where our Earth and Sun comes from but the origin of the universe remains unanswered. Why is there something rather than nothing-why is there energy in space that lead to the big bang/singularity?
Why did the questioning of the origin of the universe get hijacked and turned into a story about a liberal hippie who got tortured to death and we owe him something apparently. Or about a pedophile that flew to space on a flying donkey?
Why are people foolish and gullible enough to believe this nonsense and try to force it on the rest of us? The mind reels…
I don’t mind the Shi’ia space-pedo people. They seem nice, and are always getting mistreated by those Wahabi people. And if more liberal hippy followers were like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the world would undeniably be a better place to live in. So what their stories make no sense. A lot of stories make no sense.
LOL, I like how phrased that…hate to say it but the Shia space-pedos are as bad as the Sun’ni-worshippers, think Iran vs Saudi Arabia, Alien vs Predator.
Of course not all, many of them are victims of their radical co-religionists, esp the poor girls/women born into such barbaric, backward theocratic hell-holes. Sufis and Ahmadi’s are non-violent from what I’ve observed. Still religion remains a pox on all our houses, the world would be better without them.
To answer your second point, yes the stories make no sense, therefore they shouldn’t be believed by anyone because they’re myths/fairy tales. Nor should such people be allowed into the halls of power to impose their insane ideas on the rest of us.
They also have nothing to do with the original question of where our universe came from. Religions were always a misperception of reality from the start, they’ve ruined countless lives and still do. Once we created Science then religion became irrelevant. Fortunately, it is slowly dying off now in the first world at least.
There are a lot more than 1000 galaxies in the universe.
Ya my bad I had it write down somewhere but just pulled out a number
The origin of life is not fully understood. I think the basic guess is that originally some molecules spontaneously arranged into forms that could more or less replicate themselves. This in turn led to a chain reaction that created more and more complicated forms, eventually leading to life.
Another related question, and perhaps even more difficult, is the hard problem of consciousness: how and why sentient creatures have subjective experiences? It seems that outside of purely philosophical theories, there is next no progress on this matter. The best bet so far seems to be the so called Integrated Information Theory 3.0 by Guilio Tononi. It is an attempt of explaining consciousness mathematically, but it is very arcane and almost undecipherable.
Cause of Death: Suicide
Interesting I have, THE WHYS? THE HOW’S, I spent a life time asking those questions, I found all of them but 1 ,and it’s really pretty simple, and kind of sad IMO, Evolution is interesting, things have one thing in conman to survive to adapt and overcome! Evolution will find a way, creatures are interesting, their habits and that is including us, but the fact is they all have one thing in conman they live off killing other creatures or other things to survive, “FUEL!” I HATE THAT PART! But steak and chicken really taste good! 🙂
I don’t know how it started? And I never will, that doesn’t matter to me any longer, theories aren’t facts no one knows the answer to that question no one!
Life as we know it and creatures are here because they can be they found a way and the conditions here on earth are perfect for their creation, but everything lives off fuel, stars, even where life isn’t like we know it.
When we die were like an old worn out battery we become useless in the creature form we are in.
Grave yards are trash heaps! land fills of human waste.
