Danger would have been too much water with just a little bit more water wed have had deeper oceans maybe tens of thousands of meters deeper and wed have had no land just one big ocean granted but no surface no interaction at the actual no possibility of environments favorable to life if we can wonder if the fact that earth had just the right amount of water to have 70 percent oceans continents and then interactions was what made life possible i mean i feel. The ponds of hydrothermal springs provide an ideal environment in which the chemistry of life can get started water heat and chemical elements rising from under the surface that theyre not creamy to primitive earth was definitely a chemistry level a dirty Chemistry Lab with lots of components all mixed up with a lot of changing of parameters and condition its a metal book will take on the show. To say. Hundreds of millions of years the molecules mix together rearranging themselves in all possible combinations becoming ever more comp
If we just take the time to observe it nature provides us with a fascinating spectacle. Is the planet of life running crawling offline life a balance everywhere. But for all this beautiful diversity to have proliferated earth has had to provide a favorable environment for around 4000000000 years. Played.
