THE ODDS
According to the second law of thermodynamics things become more disorganized over time, therefore, the Primordial Soup theory can’t float. Because it does theorize a long term evolution which produced highly specialized life of a massive variety.
Further, while I have noticed that things left on their own can grow and take on life and spread, they don’t tend to thrive the same way they would if tended by a human being. It is my opinion that there might be an inkling of truth in the Primordial Soup theory, however it was not over a long period of time and the Organizer, so to speak, was God.
Any time one finds organization, one finds a higher intelligence. To assume that animals and human beings sprung from nature without being produced from the imagination of One Higher, is fascinating but it forgets something. We often ask ourselves, Which came first, the egg or the chicken. I ask, which came first, the baby or the adult? We know that it was not the baby. Human babies cannot raise themselves, just as puppies cannot and baby monkeys cannot. Even in a perfect environment without potential harm, a human baby cannot raise itself. It does not have the motor functions or brain development.
So, at which point during Primordial Souping did the human baby proceed and how did it survive? Who protected the eggs? The puppies. The monkeys?
Of course there are creatures who are completely on their own from birth, like frogs. Tadpole eggs are birthed directly into the water or on vegetation near the water. These babies are on their own from the get go. Of course, fish and snakes are basically on their own from birth also. What is it about these creatures?
In an environment of water, the creatures who live there, have no hands to grab and no legs to run. It is impossible to form weapons or build shelters. Of course coral makes for fine hide outs. Another interesting point, a dog or an ape would defend one of its own. A shark, after you’ve wounded one of theirs will turn around and eat it.
With the possible exception of the dolphin and whales, I know not of any ocean life displaying an emotional capacity. Dolphins provide milk for their young and have “signature” whistles, so that their babies can distinguish mother.
As humans, we tend to respond to emotional animals. Otherwise, we could not openly and in good conscience feed fish to sharks at zoos. We assume the fish are an emotionless animal.
So, would I assume that during Primordial Souping there was a great multitude of emotional ameobas? Who banded together and saved the weaker? How?
