Initially, the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen.

These four elements combine in different ways to make four molecules, viz. Water(H2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) , Methane(CH4) and Ammonia (NH3) .

These four molecules are the 'building blocks' of life, they can combine in various ways to make DNA (de-oxyribonucleic acid). that gives life its various characteristics. .

NB Other elements are also needed viz. Phosphorus, Sulphur to naame but two.

Why can't life exist on moon?

We don't know that life CAN'T exist on the moon; we only know that it DOESN'T exist there, and we think we know why. If we're correct, then it WILL be possible for life to exist on the moon, just as soon as a form of life comes around that can live and be happy with no air, no water, no food, 14 days of light, 14 days of dark, and temperatures of 300 degrees in the daytime and minus 400 degrees at night.


What layer of the atmosphere does life exist?

Life primarily exists in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to about 10-15 kilometers in altitude, where most of Earth's weather events occur and where the air is most suitable for supporting life.


What eats the sun?

Conditions for life to exist in space?

For life to exist in space, it would need a source of energy, such as sunlight, to support metabolic processes. Water is essential for life as we know it, so the presence of liquid water or the building blocks of water, such as hydrogen and oxygen, would also be necessary. Additionally, a stable environment with suitable temperatures and protection from harmful radiation would be vital for sustaining life in space.

What is the point of this world?

A) To showcase God's next creative works.B) To place his completely new forms of life on this earth. It would be the first 'physical' LIVING things God made. God had made angels for the heaven realm; but 'physical' life could not exist there; they needed a 'physical' place, since these new forms of life would be 'physical'. ie 'Plant-LIFE' would not exist in a heaven realm; they needed a physical planet to exist; so Bingo, this earth would be perfect for that. Likewise with 'Animal-life'. They could not exist in a heaven realm, they needed a physical planet to exist; so Bingo, this earth would be a perfect place for them.Likewise with 'Human-Life'. Human beings can't exist in a heaven realm, they would need a physical planet to exist; so Bingo, this earth would be perfect for them. Here they could live FOREVER.That's the point of this world.
