26) A possible scientific scenario for the very start of life on earth

This page deals with the most intimate and most mysterious phenomenon in the universe, the phenomenon of Life and the development of first life on earth. The content here is not meant to be a scientific explanation but a proposition that perhaps would lead to the possibility of how life might have begun on earth billions of years ago. Since the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, great advances in life sciences and medical sciences have been achieved and shown overwhelming evidences, by now one can safely say that all traces of doubt on Natural Selection have been removed from the scientific mind. Some nations have officially barred the teaching of supernatural explanation of Creation in educational classes. That leaves this age old subject only less explained and people all the more curious about what is life and how it had started on earth in the first place. To this day no credible conclusion has been drawn. Currently the more popular theory proposes that primitive life-form might have arrived on earth carried by a meteorite from another planet, but there are reservations about this theory because even modern astronauts would perish in such prolonged space journey through extreme conditions of cold, vacuum and deadly cosmic radiations. How could a primitive and unprotected life have survived the ordeal? Not to mention that before any life appeared, the earth was just  ball of volcanic lava, there were no animals, nor vegetations to eat and live on. Then as I am writing this theory of Regenerating Universe, my mind keeps flashing up with the thought that a cosmological theory should include, at least touch, the major aspects of cosmological phenomena. In fact to my mind, science, philosophy, physics, metaphysics and life are all essential parts of the same cosmological existence. Our body and mind are none but integral parts of nature's mass and energy, and do share the same origin. So I finally decided to add this page to round up this series of writing.

To write about the beginning of life on planet earth, we have to go back some 3 billion years and picture in our mind a world totally barren of any life form, no life at all, but its environmental conditions were already ripe enough to allow life to sprout and proliferate. We have also no relics, nor traces evidence to base on. So to picture that world and understand what was going on, we have to rely on theories and go back quite some distances to see what are the bases and basic dramatic interactions in nature. To start with, let's first treat our universe as a living entity because, after all, she is the giver of life, so in an enigmatic way she is the mother of life. It is the universe that imparts mass, energy and living experiences onto all living things. We are indeed part of the great universal existence. Let's first revisit those bases and fundamental phenomena of the regenerating universal that we have examined before, and see if we can conceptualize what life is and what are the forces that govern the motions and activities both in the life of the universe and of our own.... In the previous pages I have postulated in details the following essential manifestations of the regenerating universal :-  

1), Spiraling galaxies are formed because galactic masses, i.e., stars and planets, are drawn by gravitation to move closer to each other and the spiraling motion is caused by the mutual induction between electrical charges and magnetic moments carried by those galactic masses in motion. These two combined motions cause the masses to spiral deeper into the central region of the galaxy. In that great  traffic congestion cosmic bodies continuously bang into each other, and at that extreme energy environment of the galactic center, masses are converted into pure energy. The pure energy would then be cut into streams of waves by the force field symmetry with 12 equal angles, which I call the Miracle-12. These extremely powerful waves are then forced out and radiate into space, which can be measured as electromagnetic radiations, and they have the characteristics of mutual interference, which enable them to blend, amplify, reinforce and relay to great distances with enormous energy. These radiations are so strong that they force the galaxies to move apart from each other, producing the phenomenon of Universal Expansion, which is still accelerating away even though those remote galaxies have reached the maximum limits of our vision. 

2), To our perception the universe is immeasurably vast. It consists of immense numbers and varieties of galaxies, which are not homogeneously distributed as can be seen through telescopes. When a community or a group of galaxies, which may be extremely large or very small, eventually runs out of strong energy to expel other galaxies and cause universal expansion, a time will come when they would be pushed back to contract into themselves by stronger forces from outside their domain. Their inward motions would eventually cause them to explode in series of random collisions. However, the energies produced by random collisions are not comparable with the extreme environment of energies built up at the galactic center, as the galactic center acts like a perpetual grinding mill of non-stop supply of incoming stars and planets. As a result not all masses are converted into pure energy, and the region would contain both energy and still unconverted mass elements. In time, some of this mixture remain trapped in this region would consolidate back to mass, then again in time gravitation would cause them to form new galaxies with some nebulae in between. I call this region a new Universal Portion. Although the Portion might be a reduced one, eventually it would start a new cycle of expansion again. The recycle of mass and energy as well as expansion and contraction is therefore the phenomenon of the regenerating universe. Meanwhile, the energy produced by collision explosion is a linear force, which does not possess the capacity of interference and cannot be strengthened in dispatch, while the energy generated at the field symmetry, i.e. Miracle-12, of spiraling galaxies is the wave energy, which can be reinforced because of its property of interference. (Detailed descriptions are in page # 6) Where and how are cosmic waves (electromagnetic) created? )    

Due to the property of interference, the galactic radiations, i.e., electromagnetic waves, not only are able to reach remote distances to cause universal expansion and regeneration, they in fact unify the universe into a whole, and strength of the electromagnetic force therefore reaches every element of masses in the universe. Because of its strength it causes the Strong Force in the mass nuclei to vibrate, producing the Gravitational wave in resonance. Regardless of whatever other dramas may be playing at the depth of galaxies giving many still unexplained manifestations, we can acknowledge at least the following facts. We know that the galactic radiations measured on earth are electromagnetic waves, and a beam of light is just a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. We also know that mass may be converted into energy, and both Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces may be stripped out of nuclear bondage. We have postulated that Gravitational waves are the product of vibration between the stronger nuclear binding force within the mass, i.e., the Strong Nuclear Force, and the strongest wave energy in the universe, i.e., the Galactic Radiation.... I use the term Galactic Radiation to distinguish it from other electromagnetic waves because the radiation produced at the center of galaxy is special, not only it's strong enough to expand the universe, its frequency is so high that we are still unable to measure it (So far the most penetrating man made electromagnetic waves with known frequency is the Gamma Ray). Consequently we are also unable to measure the frequency of its daughter wave, i.e., the gravitational wave, which is very weak but because of its high frequency very penetrating. 

The above phenomena may be confirmed by the basic principle of electric current generation, which is done by turning symmetrical pairs of magnetic poles. In view of the above, we are drawn to observe that the function and role played by the force field symmetry, Miracle-12, at the galactic center is the same principle that gives the phenomena of Quanta of energy in Quantum Physics, and probably is also the origin of some of the still unexplained Quantum phenomena in nature. We therefore observe that of all Four Forces of Interaction in nature, i.e., the Strong Force, the Weak Forces, the Gravitation and the Electromagnetic Force, only Electromagnetic Force can remains what it is even after the most violent interaction at the galactic center. This fact appears to imply that the fundamental building blocks of nature are just electricity and magnetism. At least their combined product of mutual induction, the electromagnetic wave, is the cause of motion and interaction resulting in universal expansion, universal unification and regeneration, and therefore electromagnetic energy in waveform is life force of our living and interacting universe... 

The above revisit helps to revise and establish in our mind the cosmic drama of regenerating universe and lay down the foundation for our attempt to visualize how life could possibly spring out of a massive cosmic ball made with cooled down volcanic lava. It also reveals that as long as electricity and magnetism are present and in interaction, then the entire universe comes alive in rotating motion and in interaction. Although we are not concerned, at this point, about how it all got started, we may at least not be concerned about how things got to be so complicated, because we can allow Evolution to take care of all that. We can definitely trust evolution to envisage that the very beginning of life on earth must be a very primitive life form indeed, and should therefore be just a basic single living cell. In fact, single cell living organs can still be found on earth in great varieties although they are more advanced than the first single cell that had started every kind of life. What I am referring to are the bacteria and viruses that we know. Although they are the most basic form of life in modern time, they are more advanced than the earliest life on earth by at least 3 whole billion years. What was the first life exactly like we cannot know, but we have to use the modern micro living organs as the basics of our investigation. At the same time we have to go back to the first principles of nature's interactions and what makes nature tick with life.    

Now let's see if our earth and life on earth have anything to do with the same life force that gives mobility to the universe. As it happens our planet has a pair of big magnetic poles, which are gyrating and inducing electrical charges, and electrical charges are inducing back magnetic moments in continuous cycles. It is the same electromagnetic energy that is mobilizing things on earth! It' no wonder that things have evolved to become so complicated and humans are now traveling in space.... But for now, let's start by being less complicated and see if we can visualize how that basic life might have begun on our planet. 

The universe, because of the immensity of its size and age, is full of infinite possibilities, and our earth is a planet rich in contents of oxygen and hydrogen, which produce water. Our earth has also miraculously developed a narrow range of temperatures, which is suitable for evaporating water into vapors rising to the atmosphere and then condense into rain falls back to earth. Running rain waters on the surface of earth cause different kinds of earthly matters to meet and interact chemically under various conditions of pressure and temperature, producing all sorts of chemicals compounds, each capable of sustaining its temporary stability under certain environmental conditions. As nature is full of infinite actions, reactions and opportunities of interactions, in every single second of time, trillions and trillions of large and small physical, chemical, electrical and magnetic interactions are taking place on the earth surface. It should not be surprising that in the passing of millions or billions of years some suitable chemicals should find themselves accidentally combined into organic compounds, even into some basic life building materials such as nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, etc., etc.. In fact, this was what had happened to German scientist Friedrich Woehler in 1828 when he used a number of inorganic chemicals and accidentally combined them into the first man made organic compound, the Urea, which is today widely used as a plant fertilizer. 

Now let's take a good look at the primordial time. Some of the organic compounds formed at the time with liquids content would have been fluid or ductile and soft bodied, permitting some degrees of internal movements, depending on how viscous was the body liquid content. The mutual attraction of internal molecules and external pressure would tend to make them into a rounded mass, while winds, oxidation, other chemical compositions, external temperatures and surface tension would help to form a skin. However, at this point this is just a raw material without RNA or DNA or even the simplest genetic information. Nevertheless, due to the interaction of internal and/or external electromagnetic forces, such organic bodies would have an internal force field not only to give internal motion but also to distribute their body structure in symmetry. Such a simple body or cell of organic mass may have also acquired balance between their internal energy and the environmental energies to form their independent and stable existence among other external things. An independent single cell with such primordial organic structure and property at primordial time would have acquired the basic body shape, a spherical organic material, almost similar to the some basic virus or bacteria of modern time, except it was even simpler. This primordial organic cell would have been accidentally composed of suitable life making material and almost ready to spring into life, but it still had no life in it yet. This is the time when nature happened to have prepared by chance the stage and settings for the eventual drama of life on earth.... 

But now, let's see what is life? For a long time it was believed that life is of supernatural origin. It was held that a somewhat spiritual "Vital Force" is behind the phenomenon of life. This Vital Force is peculiar to all living organisms and different to all other forces found outside the living things. This force controls, develops and directs the activities in living things. However, this supernatural theory of vitalism has largely lost its own vitality in the face of modern sciences and overwhelming evidences of evolution. As mentioned above, some nations have even disallow Divine Creation to be taught in educational institutes. Here we will try only to investigate the possible scientific scenario of how life might have first started on earth. At present, some theories define a living thing as having the ability of mobility, the ability of sensing and reacting with the ambient environments and the ability to pass on heredity genes. But to me, I am inclined to perceive that there is actually indeed a Vital Force, only it is not of supernatural origin. It is a vital force from Nature that causes all those controls, developments and directions of living activities! Why? First let's emphasize that we are at this point only referring to the very start of life on earth. I am visualizing that in the beginning, the very first living organ was much more elementary and barely marginal, compared with what we know of a living creature, even such as those bacteria and viruses of today. Therefore it had most likely started off as a rudimentary organism, which had barely managed to accidentally acquire the right composition of organic chemicals suitable for initiation into life, just as Friedrich Woehler had created organic urea accidentally. This very basic body of organic entity had all the ingredients and structures similar to the most primitive living organism, and was ready for life but not quite alive yet. 

Figs.:- On the left is an artist's impression of a successful modern time Bacteria and on the right is that of a common cold Virus. Both have body symmetries and at their central core some genetic materials. Understandably the body symmetry is formed by force field symmetry and genetic information are developed by evolution. Life could have sprung from the same basic organic materials. 

Then at a certain time interval a spark from nature's fluctuating forces would kick start its internal vibrations, which, like a clock, will first continues to follow nature's vibrations and tick with living pulses. Of course once the genetic material and information had been successfully evolved, then the pulses of life would have been passed on from the parental organism, but for the very first life, nature's pulsing energy would have helped to switch it on. This initial pulse would eventually evolve to adopt its own living rhythm by slowly developing and evolving its internal material and structure. This life giving vibratory force from nature's is the Vital Force of Nature I have just referred to. What then is this vital force indeed? Yes! I am suggesting that this vibratory force is the same as the wave energy that causes the universe to expand and regenerate, the planet earth to rotate, and of course all life on earth to tick with pulses and motions, including human and animal life. In other words, this ticking and pulsing energy is the Electromagnetic Wave! 

Bang! yes! I know what you are thinking and I am guilty, but hang on! Once it was thought that the human is the only favored creation that has a special gift, called the Soul, and all other living beings are just beasts or insensitive creatures. The idea was doing just fine, then Darwin had to come and throw a bomb into it. Now it's too late to throw bombs, but let's see if we can throw some fire crackers...  I have mentioned in the above that electromagnetic wave energy is the life force that gives mobility to the universe, without it even gravitation would not work. So without expansion and contraction the entire universe would stand still. And as everything that goes into the galactic center and comes out as electromagnetic waves, it shows not only electromagnetic energy is the life force of the universe, it is also unstoppable! But there is more! This energy wave is produced by the mutual induction between electric charge and magnetic moments, therefore electricity and magnetism appears to be the very fundamental make-up of the universe. Indeed, in the solar system and in our planet earth, even in every single atom of every gyrating cosmic bodies there are electrons with tiny electric charges, producing also tiny magnetic energies. So every atom is also vibrating with electromagnetic waves generated within the mass. This wave energy is the same vibratory energy that gives life to the galaxies, the universe and all things in it. So, it is not peculiar only to the living creatures. If there is a force that can give and maintain life, this must be it! So it must be the only possible ticking Vital Force that was thought to be of Divine origin. Because behind every changing phenomenon, every manifestation in nature is this vibrating force. However, that very organic cell, which was accidentally made ready for life, still needs to be kicked started with a living pulse. Now billions of years have passed, although the exact mechanics that actually started the first life cannot be traced back, presumably at the time that additional surge of energy, which had actually kicked started the very first life could have been an eclipse, or a full moon, or a Comet's visit, or any such sudden surge in cosmic electromagnetic radiations.

Imagine, an electric light bulb suitably designed with suitable material to give light, will give light if current is switched on. When an electric motor, suitably designed to revolve around its axis, is suddenly given a suitable electric current. As soon as the current is switched on, it turns! An electronic clock suitably designed to tick and count time would do so when the battery is turned on. A computer, suitably designed to perform automatic operations or artificial intelligence, starts to work as soon as suitable electromagnetic wave energy is given. A human or animal body functions not only chemically but also electrically. The heart pumps blood containing iron in hemoglobin through twists and turns to the whole body producing tiny electric charges. So the advanced animal body is also an electric machine with micro electric charges in the brain, in the nerve system and the rest of the body. Like the computer circuit board, it has equivalent parts that function like a CPU, capacitors, resistors, transistor gates, memories, etc., and lots more. The human body is dotted with points and junctions of accumulated micro electric charges. 

The ancient Chinese people had discovered those body points or junctions where abnormal micro-electricity could accumulate or develop causing discomfort or certain identifiable illnesses. The well known process of Acupuncture is done by inserting a thin silver needle deep into a particular body point to conduct and release those accumulated abnormal charges and make even with atmospheric charges, which could otherwise develop into other serious health problems. Probably because the human machine has evolved under environmental conditions for so long. Modern method even facilitates the process by passing through the needle a small current or voltage into the targeted body parts to cure the discomfort or illness. Imagine if all those micro electric pulses were removed from the human brain, nerves and body, what could  happen? Probably the human clock would tick no more! 

 

Let Fig:- Acupuncture points in the head.

 

(At least this is my own interpretation of Acupuncture, which is otherwise still a mystery. There are three important cosmological phenomena mentioned in this page still needing answers. Firstly, what are the frequencies of Galactic Radiations that are strong enough to accelerate the expansion of universe? Secondly, what are the frequencies of gravitational waves? Thirdly, what are the potentials and potential differences of micro electricity in different parts of human and animal bodies? Because the twists and turns of blood flow containing the property of iron can induce micro electric charge. While the brain and the nerves are better conductors, and the salt content in the body helps, but the body fat is a bad conductor, so there could be potential variations in different junctions of the body. People feel good when taking a bath, because they let the body static potentials discharge through the water to equalize the atmospheric potential. Probably there should be a special branch of studies dedicated not only to super strong cosmic waves but also super tiny micro-electromagnetism in the body, because the human or animal body is not only a chemical factory but also a micro-electric machine. In Southern America there is an electric eel, which can generate from its muscle and nerve system some 300 to 650 volts of electricity, strong enough to jolt a human. This creature uses body electricity to find breakfast.) 

At any rate, let us scrutinize a bit more! A primitive organism, as long as it has the same chemical composition and body structure as another primitive living organism, and ready for life, if given an external spark from nature to kick start its internal vibration or internal clock, would continue to tick its own living rhythms, just like a light bulb, an electronic clock or a computer would perform its designed function if given electric current. And such external sparks could be surges of cosmic radiations during times such an eclipse, a full moon, or other such sudden surge of energy in nature, and once this organism has kicked started its living rhythm. This rhythm would be maintained in vibration and in accordance to its appropriate given material property and structural design. However, in the case of that very first living organism, the design must have been most elementary indeed. It would take millions and billion of years to slowly evolve into something advanced and complicated. So, if the theory of evolution is correct, then this could have been the possible scenario under which the very first primitive life was started. Is that possible? It is! Because nature affords infinite time and chance for initiation and evolution, which it still does everyday.  The only criterion is that this very primitive first life must have the right chemical composition, but spherical and still rudimentary! It is barely a primitive living single cell without mobility, nor any information of heredity yet. 

And yet, this very first life should already have the ability to replicate its cells, otherwise it cannot grow, evolve and live on! Now let's see! The action of cell replication could also owe its own origin from nature's force field symmetry. Since all atoms within any material are generating micro electromagnetic activities, as the living force vibrated, it created an active force field within the simple body material, which then activated the system's tiny magnetic potential to attract, absorb and accumulate more similar materials, and then distribute them in its field symmetry. Thus most basic living organisms are usually found to be of symmetrical internal body design and external spikes also in symmetry. The basic need and action of seeking balance and symmetry must have been the first step of evolutionary development for all living structures, which not only in time stabilized the body design, but also forged ahead with further developments. The rest was slowly improved over long process of evolution until the living system became a very advanced living specie. Therefore most or all of advanced biological living beings today also possess body symmetry. The pressure of evolution has always come from the tremendous urge and pressure to make a living. The need to evolve has always been a life or death business...

Fine! Now let me make an attempt to sum up the scenario that might have given the first sign of life on earth:-

a), Nature possesses seemingly infinite time and space to provide chances for chemical materials to meet and mix carried by wind and rain waters. The chemicals themselves have seemingly infinite choice to interact and inter-react through most violent conditions of early earth all the way to the eventually tempered earth. They formed billions of years ago large and small pockets of materials suitable for subsequent base of life, and yet only one tiny molecule of such materials was needed to spring into a primordial microscopic life. It therefore provided enormous materials and opportunities for trial and error in never-ending repetitions... This is nature' initial preparation of the mass or body of life.

b) The most fundamental energy in nature is produced during interactions and mutual induction between electric charge and magnetic moment. The spiral motion of galaxies and solar systems, the rotation of earth and the mobility of each atom within the mass are all driven by this electromagnetic energy, and each atomic mass is also intrinsically endowed with this energy. Meanwhile each system of mass in motion is temporarily stabilized by its active internal force field symmetry. This means the symmetrical balance of force symmetry is constantly being disturbed and constantly adjusting itself back to symmetry. Therefore the system maintains active balance, otherwise the system would collapse, disperse and exist no more. This is nature's further gift as the energy of life.

c), An organic cell possessing suitable material for life such as the flesh in human and animal body, yet capable of maintaining self balance in structure and energy, is practically the very first living sign. The ability to sense imbalance and act to balance is also the very first sensibility of life. The combined capacities of internal organization and sensibility is the actual phenomenon of life, but it needs to be kicked started into living rhythm and kept in continued pulses of life, just like an electrical appliance is given current. This was probably done by the surges or switching of electromagnetic wave from cosmological events. Such a living and pulsing entity can exist in nature for some time. 

d), The cell replication is an important step in growth and evolution. Otherwise there would be no variety of living things as we see today. The action of first cell replication was probably provided by pulses produced between internal action of force symmetry and external forces, which activate attraction or absorption and accumulation of similar chemicals from the same material pocket in nature's deposit. However, there is a limit to this increment due to the need of balance between different internal material properties and internal-external forces. A time would come when the limit was reached and the grown cell suddenly collapsed and split into two exact halves. The replication of cell could grow unstoppably to any size until similar adjacent materials were used up, or when other suitable chemicals come into contact, or when external forces caused it to stop. Then a skin or an envelop would be formed by oxidation or chemical reaction with external materials. However, the internal clock continued to tick. This is now a sizeable living entity. It could live on for quite some time. A tree could replicate its cells until it grows to huge size, but an animal, due to its want of mobility as well as the balance between intake and spent energies, cannot grow indefinitely! Evolution does tend to shrink huge prehistoric beasts down to more energy efficient size.

e), Effective evolution stepped in after millions and millions years of nature's trial and error as the earthly environmental conditions became more and more temperate. Meanwhile the process of cell replication gradually turned inorganic surface of earth into increasingly organic, making it easier for organic life to form. Then life began to stabilize with earthly conditions, it proliferated, which led to the development of heredity genes. It was an endless twisting and winding path of evolutionary struggle that had demanded life to change and adopt to different environmental conditions.             

The above is the scenario I am proposing for the natural conditions that might have developed the very first of life. But what then could this very primitive thing have been? The answer is, such initial single living cells ought to have appeared on earth, but only on the surface of earth, i.e., on land, and only in the form of a living botanical organism at first. The reasons are:-

1)  The botanical life is also a life because it has an organic body that grows, gets old and dies. It is also sensitive to environment conditions and it passes on its genes. Only it cannot walk and talk. But its immobility and simplicity makes it so much easier to become the first life on earth and to proliferate.   

2)  The chances of  rainfalls carrying soil chemicals for meeting and mixing on land to form a suitable chemical composition are more realistic than under the sea because sea water is a highly homogeneous liquid.   

3)  There are millions of species of botanical life on land and only scanty few species in the shallow sea or sea shore, because sun light is essential to life, especially botanical life. Overwhelming statistics predicts that botanical life must have first developed on land, not in the sea.

4)  Botanical life also replicate cells, and could easily absorb from ambient soil inorganic substances, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, etc., etc., which would have been much more readily available in concentration on land than under sea, when the very first living organism appeared. On the contrary, biological life must live and proliferate on organic foods, which would not have been available under sea before any life form appeared.

5)   In botanical life, if environmental conditions are right such as moisture and temperatures, especially in Spring time, even a dried seed, a root or even a part of the body can be kicked start to life or new growth by sun light. It means a lifeless mass with botanical composition and structure can be more readily brought into life by sun light, which of course is an electromagnetic radiation  

6)   Sea water is a solution of salt and other chemicals, which cannot be directly taken as nutrients. Sea animals must first develop gills or other advanced means to extract oxygen from the salty water. Tiny primitive life forms, both botanical and biological, could not survive any length of time in salt water.  

As the chief purpose of this page is to discuss the scenario that might have created the first sign of life on earth. Other subsequent development of endless forms and varieties of advanced life may be entrusted to the wonders of Evolution. It now appears that in the very beginning, botanical lives should have first developed and prospered for millions or even billions of years on earth first. They must have already lived and died for countless generations, depositing their remains on the surface of earth, covering it with layers of decomposed organic compounds, which would have been carried away by rain waters to various parts of earth. This provided those initial conditions and chances for the organic materials to meet and mix, creating a great variety of much more complex organic compounds and compositions. In time, some of these complex compounds could have already metamorphosed partly or wholly from botanical origin into biological composition because they were all organic materials after all. Such biological composition or structure would become the base material for initiation into biological life. For instance different kinds of biological bacteria and fungi can readily grow or metamorphose from pure botanical proteins or other botanical compounds, as bacteria and fungi are observed to grow and cultivate from food stuffs, such as the bread. 

There is actually a large group of eukaryotic or single cell microscopic living organisms called the Kingdom of Protista that shares morphological and physiological characteristics with both plants and animals. Members of this kingdom, such as Protozoa, Algae and lower fungi, are somewhat the cross over living things between the plant and animal world. Some of them have even mobility. The evolutionary initiation of biological life from botanical life might have been done in two ways. Firstly, the adoption of cell splitting capacity and living pulses directly from the botanical origin, which now the more evolved biological life had taken, incorporated, adopted or inherited. Secondly, the pulses of life could have been kick started as described before by fluctuations or surges of electromagnetic radiations, which, due to the more matured and evolved composition, could have become even easier and more readily to spring into life. Because we are concerned here only about the very first and most original life form, or the first sign of life, and all the present day microscopic beings are already more advanced by some 3 billions years, we have to neglect some of the intermediate evolutionary process that might have occurred, but still remain unexplained, since archeological relics exist no more. However, in principle, the more simple and primitive a living organism is, the easier it could start and replicate its life, even though it dies easily too. There are even certain relatively advanced animals called planarians, such as the flat worms that can be cut into dozens of pieces, yet each piece can regenerate into a complete living worm again because its body structure is basic and uncomplicated. Imagine how simple and elementary the earliest life form must have been. Sometimes when a human heart has stopped, it may be resuscitated to start beating again. An amphibian can stay practically lifeless in dried up pond for years, and then spring back to life. The giver of life, Nature, is very generous indeed, that's why life is so prolific on earth...    

The above scenario shows that vegetations and plants should have populated the earth surface first. The fact that there is a body symmetry in all advanced botanical life (leaves) and all biological life (eyes, nostrils, ribs and limbs) also serves to show that underneath the phenomena of life there is a force symmetry at work, and that the Vital Force force, or force of life, is in keeping with science and laws of nature. It also means that all lives share the same natural origin and are the creations of nature .. And later, when enough biological lives had evolved into more advanced animals, some of them would venture, or be carried away by flowing ground waters into the sea. Eventually they would evolve and acquire the necessary physical facilities and skills to live in the salty sea. Then still later, some of the sea creatures would even migrate back to live on land, and evolve into many kinds of sea originate land animals... If the above scenario is true, then as the earth surface was gradually changed from barren volcanic magma to lush green vegetations, making the earth progressively easier and more ready to create life. Perhaps such events of creation are still going on all the time, especially during the Sprig time when trillions and trillions of new life sprout as thunders roar. Perhaps some of the seasonal bacteria or viruses that we know are new living organisms created in the described manner... Nature provides generously chances for creations and creativities, and life is a continuous process with different stages of evolution taking place... And yet, this does not mean that there is no Divine Presence. The mysterious and unfathomable apparent existence of time and space, the awesome reality of mass and energy and their interplay, and the unbounded capacity that accommodates all phenomena, all processes, all varieties, all manifestations and all laws of nature have to be initiated and maintained in precise order somehow from somewhere. Nature is so almighty, so infinite, so supreme and super supreme that there is only one word to describe it. It is Divine!    

The summation is, our universe is made of mass and energy, which are inter-convertible. Although total conversion of the entire universe is not possible, it is possible to happen at the center of galaxies. Theoretically when a mass is converted and exist no more, all the gravitational force, the Strong and Weak nuclear binding forces within the mass would disappear as well. Then all Four Forces of Interaction become one, which is the electromagnetic wave energy. Although its strength and frequency range almost from one end of infinity to the other, it is the underlying energy that unifies, expands and regenerates the universe. It is also this force that turns the spiral motion of galaxies as well as the rotation of solar systems and the planet earth. What's more, it is also this force that gives life and motion to every atom within our body. It is therefore The Vital Force or force of life! And that one and only fundamental force, let me repeat, has to be Electromagnetic Force.
