Well, the title really explains it all. But just in case, let me repeat myself; Why are we here? I mean that as in "on Earth", not in a forum. So, why are we here? There have been many theories. Some are "To answer that very question", others "Because God made it so". So I ask you now, my people who I have been talking to for almost a year, what is your opinion?
In case you're asking, this is my opinion (I don't want to start a "Where's your proof" war): We are here because the Universe is. What I mean is, over billions of year (13-14), matter has "evolved". For example, first there was the Big Bang. We have no idea about it. Then, 10-18 seconds later, all that wierd crap made a quark and gluon stew. Those formed particles less than a second later... Blah, blah, blah. I can continue on with that, but it would take too long.
So anyway, then Earth was made. And as the years went by, atoms and such evolved further, and calcium and other "biological" matter happened to come together, and make something resembleing life. This too, evolved, and made something even more resembling life. A complex code of atoms formed a molecule, one that distinguishes every living thing (DNA). Anyhoo, life evolved so that it could survive better. That's how it made us. So if you look at it from my point of view, our arrival was unavoidable. It may have been stalled, but something like us would appear anyway, no matter what.
As for terrestial life's love of water, well I have an explenation for that, too. There was so much of it, that it became part of what life here is, so we must have water. I'm not so sure about life that has developed in other parts of the universe, but we need water.
So once again, a review; We are here because molecular structures "evolved" into something that could actually use waves of different types to think, or at least command its own structure. Our coming is inevidable, and even if we get extinct, something new will come, eventually.
Now, enough of my opinion, write yours. For the sake of sanity, don't ask "where's your proof?". I don't want this to turn into a flame war against religion (that's why we have The Death Thread). Oh yeah, and if this belongs in polotics, then can some mod kindly move it there. Thanks. Now write your opinions/theories/words/whatever.
