Biogenesis
Biogenesis is a biological term for the idea that life arose from other preexisting life, that organic matter arose from other organic matter.
Description (Specifications)
Life begets life. Biogenesis is a theory accounting for the idea that organic matter may be a natural and possibly original state of matter within the universe.
What is known is that under the ideal conditions, life invariably arises. The vast majority of this life is very simple and basic, but it is irregardless life. And where life exists, no matter how basic or simple, more complex life will eventually evolve.
And there is a strong tendency that where life can persist long enough with great enough diversity, intelligent life will arise. The most intelligent of these species are known as sophonts and learn how to use technology. And from increasingly sophisticated technology, sophonts create civilization, art , artifacts, culture, and society.
History & Background (Dossier)
Many scientists and researchers assume that a state of death or non-life is where the universe began. But what if that were not true? What if life arose with the creation of the universe? What if life is the default stage?
Almost every one of the major races has a theory for this lack of surety about cosmological genesis. Terran scientific laypeople used to say: "What came first,the chicken or the egg?" This notion is as valid millenia forward as it was when the saying first was coined.
