Probability of Life - The Automatic Universe Theory
I have a theory that the Universe is pretty much automatic, this neither confirms nor denies the existence of a God, since you’d think that a “designed” universe with a God is the same as an automatic universe which basically means that some entity is pulling the strings behind the curtain.
Well not so fast. In my opinion Creationism is false. And I think that the Hindu/Buddhist version is probably more correct. Which means that it’s an automated universe, perhaps constantly creating and destroying itself, reincarnation, the endless cycle of life, you name it.
So the Big Bang can easily be explained by just saying that it was the cycle of creation/destruction, the Big Bang was simply just the end of a previous Universe and the beginning of this one.
Life
So the existence of life is not something rare, it’s basically everywhere, in Eastern Philosophy even the rock is “alive”. It’s a constant dynamic Universe with even the smallest entities in it having a dynamic role. The smallest atoms behave exactly like the large object, they orbit around eachother and do certain things, so the similarity between things is high.
Biology is fundamentally wrong when they assume that the “cell is the smallest life-form”, when every other smaller thing does the same thing essentially in it’s own way.
Biologists still couldn’t find a link between how an inanimate object turns into an animate object. They literally can’t figure out how “dumb” atoms can turn into “smart’ cells.
This and what the creationists are saying that they can’t believe how it is possible that atoms can turn into cells that can turn into humans.
Well this is just dumb logic, and a lack of an imagination from both the biologists and the creationists.
Of course it is possible for atoms to turn into cells, and it’s not just that it’s possible, but it’s even probable, across a large zone of space, and a large amount of time.
Here I am going to give you mathematical proof that intelligent life in this Universe is very probable, and if the Hindu/Buddhist model is correct, then it’s also inherent in everything.
Mathematical proof
Well I am not going to calculate the probability of a human, since that can be traced back to 1 cell organisms, and the Theory of Evolution is already widely accepted and documented. What I am going to prove is that “dumb” atoms can easily turn into “smart” cells, given the circumstances.
I am also going to use a Prokaryotic cell as an example, and we will do the calculation just on Earth, since it’s even more probable that life can evolve across the vastness of space in countless other planets with the right conditions. But since Earth is the only sample we got, let’s just confine it to Earth.
So what is the probability of Intelligent Life of Earth?
Probability of a Bacteria
The diameter of a procaryotic cell is at least 1 micrometer. We assume that it’s sphere sized, but we will only work with the least probable parameters and this way we will have 0 error margin.
So that is a volume of 0.2945243112740431 µm3, roughly, well most Bacteria are long shaped, according to this source the Haemophilus influenzae is about 0.2 * 0.2 * 0.5 which would be 0.02 µm3 to about 0.18µm 3, so our theoretical Bacteria is a good estimation for it’s volume, and since it’s bigger it represents an even smaller probability (the sort of more improbable case scenario). Now we look for the smallest atom to kind of gauge the minimum probability.
The smallest atom in a cell is Hydrogen, as it makes up the water inside the Cytoplasm. The volume of the Hydrogen atom has a Van der Waals radius of about 120 picometer, so it’s sphere of influence, because atoms are spherical is about 0.0000000000040715 µm3.
So keep in mind we are calculating the worst case scenario, the smallest atoms aligning themselves up in the volume of a cell, in 1 particular state. Obviously in the right conditions, so it has to be an ocean with good temperature, pressure, etc… So in an ocean, roughly this is the probability of all these atoms coming together and forming a Bacteria:
Bacteria Probability = 0.0000000013823986 %
And this is just 1 state, obviously the Bacteria is dynamic, and moves and changes it’s parts constantly. However we are going to ignore that, since we just need 1 state for it to “come to life”, even though there might be variations, but if we want to eliminate the error margin, then we are always assuming the worst probability scenario.
But this is the probability of a Bacteria forming in just 1 region of space. Whereas the ocean is vast.
Volume of the Oceans
So we know that Bacterias only form in oceans mostly, where the right conditions of life are there, plenty of water, elements in the water, and good pressure, etc..
According to this source, and we will only work with the good oceans, so I doubt anything forms in the Arctic one. So that is Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and China. Which is 310,410,900+264,000,000+660,000,000+9,880,000= 1244290900 km3.
That is a volume of 1244290900000000000000000000000000000 µm3.
And the volume of our theoretical Bacteria is just 0.2945243112740431 µm3.
So that is a multiplier of 4224747677424282332140377805212876800, as in there are this many sectors in all the oceans in the world where this Bacteria can form.
Thus the probability of this Bacteria coming “out of nothing” on Earth is:
5840285338152633771816386560 %
Well that is not very improbable isn’t it? In fact since it’s above 100% this means that there are actually 58,402,853,381,526,339,436,150,784 of these Bacteria coming into being every single second, “out of nothing”.
This study claims that there are about 5*1030 Bacteria on Earth every single second.
So my theoretical Bacteria makes up 0.001168% of the total Bacteria living on Earth at any given second.
Thus Life is Not Rare, it’s Very Very Common!
And this is just the lowest estimate in 1 given state, a Bacteria as an object can exist in a myriad of different states, not just Carbon based but perhaps Silicon or other material based life as well, so it doesn’t even have to be a planet with water on it. It can even be a planet like Mars with Silicon based life on it.
So if you look out in the Cosmos, you can probably find life everywhere, it is not rare at all. So the thinking that only Humans are the only intelligent species on Earth is very arrogant.
Both Creationism is false, and the current Biological understanding as well. My theory that life comes into existence spontaneously is correct, and it’s not even my theory, it’s just common Hindu/Buddhist understanding that is at least 3000 years old.

Something occured to me a while ago regarding the composition of life in the universe. The law/principle of accelerating returns sharply divides it into 2 classes.
The 'simple' class consists of life that has almost no ability to control or perceive its environment. Things that equate to microbes are typical members of this class. They have almost no capacity to detect other life that isn't in the same biosphere. They spend an enormous and arbitrarily long amount of time in the first class while evolution slowly ratchets up complexity. We are in this class.
After a critical threshold of complexity and evolutionary advances, members of the first class hit an asymptotic wall and almost instantly transform into the second class. By 'Almost instantly' I mean that relative to the time it took to reach that threshold, the time it takes to cross it to enter other class is a tiny fraction of it. The 'complex' class is characterized by enormous capability to control and perceive its environment. Members of this class have near god-like qualities. Things invert - rather than detection of other life being almost impossible, avoiding detection becomes almost impossible.
I want to stress how sharply the 2 classes are defined and how rare it should be to find life at the border of the dichotomy. There appears to be indication that we are approaching the knee of the acceleration curve.
Yes that is how nature balances out itself, the predator kills the parasite and the parasite kills the predator.
Perhaps things are also not supposed to get too big either, the smaller (least complex) the creature, the shorter it's life and life quality, but there are many of them, so their extinction is almost impossible (viruses, bacteria).
On the other hand, you have more complex beings (not necessarily big, like dinos but more like humans), that have an extremely good life quality, they can do tons of things, but they extend their influence a lot, they piss of eachoher by enslaving eachother and they also piss off the smaller creatures.
And thus we are at a constant war with eachother and while there is not much adaptation there since we humans have a slow evolutionary path, but the smaller creatures that we piss off, certainly adapt quicker and have the potential to destroy us in the end.
For example:
Evolution is an interesting game.
