At the beginning of the formation of the earth, the world still felt very wild and unchanging. However, after several million years had passed, the world began to change and sentient beings appeared. How did living things come into being at the very beginning of the earth’s formation?
According to the theory of abiogenesis, this process occurs through three main stages:
1. Formation of organic molecules
2. Aggregation of molecules into particles
3. Formation of particles into living organisms
In the first stage, organic molecules such as amino acids and nucleotides are formed through chemical reactions that occur in the Earth’s atmosphere. This process is known as the Miller-Urey process.
In the second stage, the organic molecules that have been formed undergo aggregation and form larger particles. These particles then form liposomes, a lipid membrane that hides organic molecules in a stable environment.
In the final stage, liposomes form simple living organisms, such as bacteria. This is the initial stage of the evolution of life on earth.
Although this process cannot be ascertained, the theory of abiogenesis explains how living things came to be in the early days of the earth’s formation. The existence of life on earth is the result of complex and long processes that took place over millions of years.
By understanding the process by which living things emerged, we can understand how this world developed and changed into a complex and unique place to live. In addition, by understanding the origin of life, we can also understand how life could have spread to other planets.
