It is true that as far as we know, origin of life has happened once.
And it's not the only thing though that transformed our planet that happened once.
I like to think of these as singularities.
These are evolutionary singularities that happened only once and they completely transformed our planet.
And I can only count you a very few of them.
One is origin of life to what we know, one genesis.
Second one is the production of oxygen.
There is only one way that biology invented creating oxygen.
It is crazy that that's even a thing.
Only one way that this planet has done its way to create oxygen.
And look how much everything we relate to as a living thing relies on this thing.
And plants are late, right?
Animals want origins, right?
Plants want origins.
singularities that only happen, nitrogen fixation, one origins.
So there are multiple things.
As good as life is, it only happened once.
Ironically, I missed that day too, yet I studied it.
So it's not an excuse.
