Yes ok, I get what DNA is, how cells work together to make us and all, but how did that actually pop up, from literally metal and rocks and dirt?? Like how does a germ fucking exist and WIGGLE and MOVE, and how did the universe “KNOW” to make it exist, as stupid as that sounds???
In: Biology
the basis for life is first having something able to replicate itself, so perhaps due to pure chance a chemical got formed, to which other molecules connected, and then broke off esentially creating more ans more.
this replication is not perfect, so when other chemicals connected they formed a structure that wasnt the same.
over an extremely extremely long time eventually some of these copies were for some reason better at replicating, essentially evolving. this way you end up with something like DNA.
the key to life is the ability to not perfectly reproduce. if something exists that can make non-perfect copies of itself just from random particles in water, inevitably some of these will randomly be better at this due to random modifications, and you can guess how it goes from there.
