RICH COUCH THEORY
TikTok has a new design theory on the rise: anyone whose couch doesn’t touch their walls is living in luxury. Having your couch in the middle of the room, according to many TikTok users, is the mark of an expensive home.

I wish we knew. It’s a bit of a mystery, you see. We’re not exactly sure when or how life began on Earth. The fossil record is a bit sketchy the further back you go. We can, however, see that there was no “supernatural cause” that started life. Nothing that we have discovered suggests intelligent design. If God had a hand in it, he had a good way of covering his tracks. Of course, the absence of evidence for a supernatural cause doesn’t prove or disprove the existence of God, and that’s not the point of this question or answer anyway.
Obviously, life as we know it began after Thea crashed into Proto-Earth and created the Earth and Moon as we now know them. That cataclysmic event was extremely violent.
There was water on Earth. At first it wasn’t lying on the surface, but it was inside, much as we have found there is water in lunar regolith. Eventually, much of the water pooled on the surface, and that became the oceans. The amount of water on Earth seems like a lot to us because we live on the surface of a big planet like ants on the sidewalk.
Water seems to be the ingredient that is needed, along with electrical storms and volcanic atmospheric discharge. Given the right conditions, scientists have demonstrated experimentally that amino acids, the basic building blocks of life, can be generated in the lab from an environment and conditions that we think were present on our planet billions of years ago.
All we know is that life seems to be the exception rather than the rule when it comes to exoplanetary science.
