Is Life On Earth Only A Coincidence, or is it Supernatural?

Today I would like to try to explain as clearly as possible, what is most likely the most difficult question about the universe. And that question is whether or not Earth, and the the fact that there is life (primitive and/or intelligent) on Earth, is merely a coincidence. First, I would like to state that many people, even to this day, are persuaded, or give in to, the idea that we are remarkably lucky to live on an Earth which harbors life. This fact is considered often to be the greatest coincidence we have ever known, the fact that the conditions on Earth were just right for life to evolve, and there have been ideas that life had to be created by supernatural means. How much truth is there to this, though? Life first began as bacteria, which was made from various compounds called amino acids, which were created by atoms.
So, should we actually consider ourselves lucky that Earth is as beneficial to life as it is?
Not necessarily. Life's building blocks are created by some of the most common elements of the universe, which include Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen, and these elements compose quite the majority of all elements in living cells.
So, since the conditions on Earth were just right for life to evolve, does this mean there is a supernatural explanation for life? There is a serious problem with thinking such an idea. You might argue, as I have already mentioned, that we are remarkably lucky because Earth has water, that we live the right distance away from our Sun, and that this couldn't have all been by chance. This idea is misleading. Let's consider a great analogy to help understand this dilemma; The analogy does not need to be necessarily about Earth. Instead, it will be about the notion, or idea, of coincidence in general. Sometimes, stories can be really compelling, because they are generally interpreted by people as coincidences, such as the coincidences that have to do with the deaths of presidents Lincoln and Kennedy. The reason that a coincidence can be misleading, is because we only think about the similarities, and we might not realize that a story can have more differences instead of similarities. I think that this kind of logic might just have something to do with the fact that people seek a supernatural explanation for life. If we are lucky, then why are we surprised that we are alive? If someone else were living on Earth other than people, then we wouldn't think the same, since the lucky people would instead be someone else! Because we are the people who live on Earth, we are persuaded to think that we are lucky. The problem is that if Earth didn't develop the way it did, then we might not even be here, therefore there should be no need to think of a supernatural explanation, because such an explanation is simply not true for many other places in the universe; and that is extremely paradoxical, even though it has been extremely difficult to explain. And so I don't know if this explanation is sufficient, though I think this is practically the best that can be written for now.

Weather Simulator Idea?!

I want to create a weather simulator, in which you could modify the weather by changing the temperature of lakes and/or rivers, as well as change how warm the temperature of the ground is! For example, there could be a lake that's 39 square miles and has a water temperature of 10 degrees, while a warm front of 120 degrees with a humidity of 80% could pass through. A slow moving cold front of 26 degrees could collide with a faster moving front of -23 degrees. They could move over a lake that is 156 degrees, and another front of 98 degrees could collide with the frigid air. As if things the system couldn't be more complicated, there could be a front coming from above. And there could be smaller lakes beside the larger lake. The smaller lakes could be frigid. The air pressure could be extremely unstable as compared to Earth's. The air pressure could be modified to be much lower or much denser than that of Earth. The water in the lake could move, which could affect how quickly the conditions change. And the various aspects of the environment could also be modified by changing the acidity levels. We could also introduce various pollutants such as aerosols, in order to analyze how they might affect cloud development. Vast areas could be changed, not just local climates, in order to know whether or not large scale changes would have interesting affects over these local climates. We could also create extremely small, microscopic climates, which, collectively, could change the weather pattern over the entire environment, or simply environments which are larger scaled.

Is It A Good Idea Reducing Calories For A Prolonged Time?

I read an interesting article a few weeks ago from the spring issue of BrainWorld about reducing the amount of calories in your diet. The research indicates that there is no health benefit from going a prolonged time with less food. There is something really interesting about this though, because once I thought about it in a logical way, I realized something really interesting. First of all, the article said that consuming less can actually make you gain weight! Then I realized something else. Although you will gain weight (which many of us consider as a negative aspect of life) by consuming less, there could be a real benefit which is not even mentioned in the article. I realized that by eating less and less, you should become more efficient in making energy from food. Then you don't need to have as much food to get the energy you need, because you will be able to make do with what you have. You will not need to purchase as much, which means that you will be able to buy more of other stuff. Well...at least I can only guess that this is really how it works! A really great topic to discuss with someone who has much more knowledge.

Astronomer Cannot Explain What He Photographed During Perseid Meteor Shower

Astronomer who was stargazing in Utah just recently noticed a strangely behaving meteor, and it was probably nothing like any other meteor photographed to this day.
