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
There is no why.
Self replicating molecules got started at some point and got better at replicating through natural selection and dot dot dot here we are.
We may never know HOW precisely that happened as it’s hard to run sterile billion year expriments to try to get it to happen spontaneously again.
Maybe it’s happened spontaneously lots of times but if there is already more advanced life out there a fledgling proto life just becomes a snack for a bacteria or something.
