Why is there Life on Earth?

Question:

The astronomers seem to assume that life comes about naturally when conditions are just right. They say that is why we have life on earth. What do you think?

Answer:

It seems impossible that any thinking person could honestly believe life, in all its complex and varied forms, just “happened” or evolved. Scientists themselves have proven that life cannot come from non-life. There is absolutely no evidence that inanimate objects ever become animate, or “alive” of themselves.

The Bible tells us plainly that all life originates with the Creator, God. Nehemiah long ago stated this fact when he said: “You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You.” (Neh. 9:6).

“The heaven of heavens, with all their host”—certainly there is life beyond our little sphere. There is life elsewhere in the universe, and one Almighty God sustains it all.
