At the very beginning, how did life know that it had to replicate itself? * 1
    #26954716 - 09/25/20 04:00 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

None of us would be here if life wasn't aware that it needed to create more of itself.  The first cell could have just existed and die without ever reproducing and that would have been it for life.

How the hell did life just know?  Cells don't have insticts. How did it know to evolve into something that can create life?  How was it natural for the cell to divided into two?  Where di this programing come from??

Yes! 
Kind of gets down to the root of the big question "meaning of life"
and "what is the basis of life"

Unfortunately I got no answer, but if you enjoy this line of thinking I recommend watching the PBS Nova special on slime mold.
"secret mind of slime"
It rocks! err...  it slithers

Only life that had this characteristic perpetuated itself.  All other avenues were dead ends from the start.

yes this is a good question.  are you rapping or serious?

considering the theory of darwinian evolution, this process, the cleaving of a cell, must/may have been a natural process, even before there was DNA to split.

the other thing to consider is that very essential life, though excessively complex, has been reduced to series of biochemical reactions for the purpose of study.

one question you might ask that could be revealing in pursuit of the answer to this query is:  what chemicals are involved in the cleaving process of a cell?  or what chemicals cause a non-autoinitiated cleaving of a cell?

if you can answer that, the presence of whatever those chemicals are in the nebulous pool or whatever it's called would be the answer to your question.

then you are back to:  where did the first cell come from?  who put a bag around some salt water and who started pumping calcium into/out of that bag?

While no one is exactly sure how life happened, it has been proven that conditions and chemicals existed on primordial earth that in laboratory settings under similar conditions, have shown to at minimal be able so self assemble a phospholipid membranes that incorporate other molecules, and even contain vesicles.  That's at least the beginnings of cell.  We don't understand now, but quite possibly in the near future will understand.

Note, there are a ton of studies on this, they have discovered self replicating RNA and all sorts of other fascinating discoveries that hopefully one day add up to "how did life "as we define it" start?"
