This question just flew out of my mouth yesterday evening during family time (not sure why) so I thought I would ask it here. It was very odd.

    Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Humans don’t fall far when they’re born either. It would be very improbable for a human to be born and somehow land somewhere else than on Earth.

      Evolution doesn’t answer the question where life came from or how it might have originated from non-living compounds.

      You don’t even need evolution, it’s that simple.

      How did I get here? My parents had sex.

    The planet is in the Goldilocks zone of this solar system and it allowed life to propagate and evolve.

    Pretty much the only way to make a human involves previous humans. Most humans are on earth.

    Because if we were all somewhere else, you would be asking the same question about that place.

    “This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

    Someone on another planet around another star is probably asking the same thing about their conditions. Once you understand how they could be there, you understand why we’re here.

    If my mother’s weird religion is to be believed (it’s not), we chose the earth out of a list of planets. And we’ll get to choose again when we die.

    Also Jesus is an alien now. Doing Jesus things in the Andromeda galaxy or some shit.
