Cosmic evolution is the formation of hydrogen and helium from sub atomic particles in the early universe. Stellar evolution is the formation of structures from hydrogen and helium. Chemical evolution is the creation of all the elements and compounds from supernovas.Do you believe that the events which set the stage for matter to make the leap to life were inevitable (i.e. cosmic evolution, stellar evolution and chemical evolution)Did this potential exist before living things existed?Do you believe the potential for intelligence to arise existed before it was realized?
Clearly yes.
Unless living things have always existed, yes.
I have no idea. It depends on which events in particular, and from what point. For some, I would guess my answer would be that I don't and cannot know.
Before life could make the leap from inanimate matter all of these things had to occur. In effect they were prerequisites before life could emerge.
Would you agree with me that these events had to occur before life could emerge and were inevitable and controlled through natural process according to the laws of nature?
