I have an interesting assertion concerning the phenomenon of life.
First, I would like to give attention to the observational control that it is necessary for organic life to produce life. Not having laid claim to the impossibility of spontaneous self-generating organic bio genesis, but the observational rule is dependent on an organic source for life, requiring something living to produce and give life.
Then, earths sole bearing of organic life in the known universe. It is the observational control that earth houses the only organic life in the known space. Again, not having claimed impossibility to the contrary.
The trouble with bio genesis is identifying the substantial variables. If organic life is capable of spontaneous generation, then we would see it today, assuming, and certainly on other planets, spawning from non living materials. Looking at earths homing scenarios, we arrive to one of three conclusions:
The trouble with the observations is, in the realm of spontaneous generation and adaptation or "evolution" it would require that organic life generate from 'lifeless' matter or energy (non organic or intelligent functioning) again. The suggestion would require observation as to substantiate the supposed. That is to say, life does not generate from lifeless matter or energy today. Why would it years ago?, and supposing, the observational universe does not hold claim to spontaneous generation anywhere. Not intelligent life, nor animal life, nor plant life, nor bacteria, nor organic life of any fashion. Including, the earths position setting to fit life. The circumstances fitting on the earth to maintain just such a delicate and meticulous balance of climate, atmosphere and solar distance is so particular on an astronomical level, the "crack" of life's survival is ridiculous. Figurative to illustrate; 1 mile closer to the sun we would burn up, 1 mile further away we would freeze. The oceans keeping such a gentle tide with the shore, the slightest gravitational interference would be catastrophic. My guess is that scientists, especially those that favor evolution, are looking desperately for life on other planets. My guess is they wont find it.
Not minding that even if such life exists, that wouldn't prove one thing or another, but lack thereof gives testimony to providence and supernatural intercession.

I tweaked the formatting some, but more fixes are needed
See the "Edited by" notes. Reading is easier if you have blank lines between paragraphs.
One thing I didn't do, is fix your messages massive lack of proper capitalization. Sentences should start with upper case letters, as should "I" and proper nouns (use those "shift" keys on your keyboard - They are so important that keyboards are manufactured to have two of them). Please also do such in your other messages.
Fix the capital letters and then I'll actually bother reading the content of your message.
Please post a "capital letters done" type message, as a reply to my message. That will bring the repair job to my attention.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

Strikes me as a mixture of cosmology and origin of liife - Promoted anyway
Another one that I predict will be a big mess.
1 mile closer to the sun we would burn up, 1 mile further away we would freeze.
Absolute nonsense! The Earth's orbit is an ellipse with a much greater variability than that.
I'm getting soft - Topic promoted.
