Why do we live on planet Earth? (God, evolution, Lord)

[slashsdfz]

I have a question. Why do we live on planet earth? If we were one planet closer to the sun, we would be roasting. If we were one planet farther, we would be freezing. So why are we on a planet that pretty much, for the most part, provides sufficient temps worldwide in order for humans to live? Now, I do understand the closer to the equator, the hotter, and the farther the colder, but for the most part, earth is quite a comfortable place? I mean, here it's 90 degrees today. Surely I could not be living in 90 degrees below zero temps.

So, if a single cell organism started it all, what happened? Did the organism land on Neptune and say "Ehhh, you know what, I don't think I want humans to be here", and jump to Mars and say "Nope, not here either", and jump to Mercury and say "Whew, too hot here.." and magically land on planet earth and say "Ahh, this is perfect. I'll start to make humans now".

Or, did a single cell organism just magically, but the luck of all could imagine, magically land on earth and we just got lucky as can be?

No, I don't think that single celled organisms talked to themselves, journeyed to other planets or planned their own evolution. Life evolved on the earth because the conditions were suitable for life as we know it. There's nothing magic about it.

all the same, rofl! not too hot, but too funny.

So..life evolved on earth because the conditions were suitable. Why wasn't life suitable on Mars, Jupiter or Saturn? Couldn't we have adapted to that? I think we're just so damn lucky that we just magically grew on a planet suitable for life when we have all these other planets that, at this time, are not.

So what if you had a planet with a daytime temperature of 290F and a nighttime temp of minus -110F.
What would be the ambient temperature in a cave on that planet be?

I think life could do well in the cave.

it is the will of Allah

And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: Wilt thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.

And He taught Adam all the names, then showed them to the angels, saying: Inform Me of the names of these, if ye are truthful.

The life forms that we're familiar with all require liquid water which does not exist on other planets at this time although it probably did on Mars earlier in it's history. I really am not getting whatever point you're trying to make when you talk about luck and magic. It seems self evident that if life can only exist within certain physical limitations such as temperature, liquid water, etc. that life is only going to be found in environments such as the earth that happen to have those necessities. It's very possible that there are other forms of life that we haven't encountered that exist within completely different boundaries but our knowledge is limited to our explorations of nearby planets so of course I'm basing my statements upon the requirements for the kind of life that thrives on earth. Our knowledge of other planets and the possibility of life is in its infancy.

It's that same old mantra...."god did it".

I want to know why nothing existed at one point and all of a sudden all the planets came about. And with that being said, why are we on earth? Why did earth just happen to develop into a planet sustainable for life? Out of all the things that could have went wrong, they didn't.

I mean, honestly, why are we here?? Who am I?? What's my purpose?? Are our lives just based on luck that it all happened or is there a bigger purpose?

Why must you bring god into this? I did not mention god once, yet you decide to bring god into it. I am not bringing god into this so leave him out
