The Origin of Life
It is a fact that each religion and culture has its own ideas how life began on earth. However, there is a widely
accepted theory telling us that universe began with “Big Bang”. After that, the earth was just a cloud of dust
floating everywhere. About 3.8-4.5 billion years ago, the dust settled into a solid globe, which is a planet
belonging to the solar system. The earth became violent and exploded with fire and rocks, producing carbon
dioxide,nitrogen,water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. With the earth
cooling down, water began to appear on its surface,which is fundamental to life, because it allowed the earth to
dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas, which produced a chain reaction.
Millions of years later,small plants appeared and multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen,
which created conditions of other creatures coming into being. Reptiles produced young by laying eggs while
mammals gave birth to young baby animals. Later, human race came into existence, who in their return, became
the most important animal on the planet, but because human beings are putting too much dioxide into the
atmosphere,which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space, causing warming-globe. Mankind has
never stopped exploring outer space to settle scientific puzzles, including biologists, astronomers, physicists and
geologists. They cheered up to experience no gravity and pull. Our country has launched 55 satellites into space
so far, which causes other countries to watch out for our achievements of astronomy.
