It is an inescapable question that all humans must ask themselves or maybe others how we all came about. It is also unquestionable that whoever thinks about the question and the reality of our aliveness will definitely be mind boggled and shocked with amazement that the fact of reality itself is real but not graspable.
There are many theories on how we all came about and got the state of aliveness. The religious view says that God created all, all including life and us. I do not argue with that but since we are talking logic based on evidence rather than faith lets look at it in the scientific point of view.
Nowadays Darwin's theory of evolution is arguably almost fully accepted by the scientific community. According to the theory we all evolved and got to the stage that we are slowly from simple cells to the point that we are through millions of years of evolution. Simple cells evolved to complex cells, complex cells to multi cellular life, multi cellular life to bilaterians, bilaterians to incects and seeds, insects and seeds to amphibians and it continues to the stage that we are now.
If we look deeply on the way that life evolved throughout, we would see that life evolved in a way that it would most increase its chances of survival in the environment that it is in. According to the theory of evolution two organisms of the same species would evolve differently according to the geographical location that they are allocated to. Both will evolve in a way that would best suit their survival in the new environment. Lets look at ourselves, we see that we have different organs in our bodies each consisting of systems, which themselves consist tissues, which again themselves contain cells (may not be complete and not in perfect order). From this we can observe that we contain a very sophisticated system within us which functions perfectly and accordingly. This complex and complicated system and its different parts function in coordination with eachother to sustain the life of the organism which as a better chance of surviving and a different way of experiencing life than its partitioned self as system, organ, tissue or cell. We should highlight the fact that each organ, system, tissue and cell are all designed for a specific purpose all there to play a role in the functioning of the organism. Now think. This all came from a simple cell. How? If there is no designing agent, how could this all be? How could this kind of complexity occur in different life forms in different ways and function perfectly in all? How is it that all organisms evolve according to the environment that they are in in order to be suitable for that environment?
It has recently been noted that the life experience that one goes through will be something that one will pass to one's offspring. It is an obvious fact that that is how life tries to overcome the challenges it faces. You see, it does not only pass the information of the experience but it also will create a way to tackle any problem that it faces continuously by evolving accordingly.
The above definitely makes us stress the idea that life itself has life and that it stores information of what it has encountered and passes it to the next generation and many more generations and if there are problems that it continuously faces it tries to tackle it by giving us agents to tackle them like feelings e.g fear, or by making us evolve to an organism that is suited to tackle a problem it faces continuously.
