Why should we be alone in this universe? Part III
Nowhere in the universe there is an earth like ours: though Millions of sun solar systems are there.
Dr. Sten Odenwald, an astronomer, wrote in 1997:
We have no hard evidence at this time that there is life to be found anywhere else in either our solar system, or the rest of the universe. Still, as an astronomer, I think the chances are very good that life exists elsewhere.'
Everywhere in the findings of NASA there is no one mention of any signs of life in other solar systems and there are millions of them according to NASA. Nowhere in the discoveries of satellites and astrophysicists we read any trace of life anywhere in the cosmos except for your planet earth.
When did life begin? No one can answer the question? How did life begin rests an enigmatic query for scientists? Why should there be life on planet earth specifically and nowhere else in the universe? This question is not in the domain of science and hence science does not venture into answering.
It is the domain of metaphysicists and philosophers, yet the question remains immanent but unanswered, a total enigma. Some scientists, like Borrow and Tipler in The Cosmological Anthropologic Principle, proclaimed that the first sign of life can be traced to some four billions and three hundred millions of years ago in the form of a carbon molecule.
They claim such evidence led to the creation of life culminating in the human species. This, according to them, is known as the weak anthropological principle. If we assume that such a carbon molecule was founded in order to produce eventually, and some four billions of years and three hundred millions of years after, to the human species then we are talking about the strong anthropological principle.
The first thing that comes to our mind is why should such a first carbon molecule, signifying life, be found on earth and nowhere else?
