The atheist – preacher:
Life on planet Earth originated about 4 billion years ago, thanks to the coincidence of many favorable circumstances. This includes temperature, light, and the presence of appropriate gases: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and so on. As a result of all this, life appeared on one of the billions of planets.
At first it was just inorganic compounds of molecules. Later, the simplest living organisms appeared from inorganic compounds – unicellular ones. They evolved for millions of years before moving on to the next stage of development – multicellular organisms. Etc.
At each stage of evolution, there was a branching of species. Each of the species grew independently on its own branch of development. Some species turned out to be unviable and died, and some species, on the contrary, turned out to be successful and developed further, dividing into new branches. This is how evolution took place on planet Earth.
In the course of this evolution, one of the branches of species reached mammals, including humans. Thus, all living beings are to some extent related to man or even his ancestors along a certain branch of development.
The listener – agnostic :
Tell me, Teacher, why exactly did life originate on Earth? Why not on Mars, Venus, or other planets outside the Solar system?
The atheist – preacher:
Before answering this question, it is necessary to realize the infinity of the Universe in time and space. If you can perceive this, then you will understand that there are countless systems like the Solar system and planets like the Earth in an infinitely vast space. We don’t even know about them and may never know. And somewhere on them, too, because of a successful combination of circumstances, life was born, is born and will still be born. Therefore, we cannot say that life exists only on Earth. For sure, life at its various stages still exists on an infinitely large number of planets, we just can’t find out right now. Perhaps in the future we will find brothers in mind.
The listener – atheist :
Teacher, how do you feel about the Big Bang theory?
The atheist – preacher:
I fully accept this scenario. The solar system and even our entire Milky Way galaxy could have arisen as a result of the Big Bang. But this explosion was not the beginning of everything. This is just an episode of a big process. That is, such explosions occur periodically in different parts of the universe. Some black holes absorb energy, and then explode, creating new stars, new galaxies – this is a continuous process, the same as the appearance of bubbles in a glass of soda. Sometime our star, the Sun, will go out and disappear, and the planet Earth will disappear with it, but at the same second billions of other stars will arise in other parts of the Universe, and life will be born on billions of planets similar to Earth. It’s an endless process.
The listener – atheist :
Tell me, teacher, how do you feel about the theory of the appearance of people on Earth not in the course of evolution, but thanks to the visit of aliens who gave a new form of life, different from all animals?
The atheist – preacher:
I admit such a scenario. But he does not refute the theory of evolution. It just takes her to another planet, where this evolution may have taken place earlier and, perhaps, people appeared there earlier than on Earth. Perhaps they came to us and left their offspring here, that is, they allowed the chain of evolution on Earth to skip several steps.
But on the planet where the aliens came from, life still arose and developed in an evolutionary way. And even if they had not arrived on Earth, people would most likely have appeared on Earth in the course of evolution.
