re: How did a planet form that can support life but the life on it cannot live forever?

But if we lived forever than we would not need to do that so why haven't life forms realized that and just achieved that?
How do you know that's not coming in the future? It took quite a while to get to this point. Age spans have increased a good bit recently in terms of human existence. Why are you starting from a position that there will not be continued evolution?

Well of course but why are we the only lifeform trying to achieve it? Why is no other lifeform afraid of death as much as we are? Why did humans evolve so fast compared to other creatures?
If the same animals existed when the first humans did then why did they stay relatively the same while we evolved so quickly?

And if we cannot see it then how can we prove it happened? There is no recorded event of such a thing happening
In writing? No
In geology? Yeah, it's a recorded event

Why are you assuming we're the only life form trying to achieve that? Maybe other species just got a later start or are slower in the process

So it is possible for things to have happened that were never seen and cannot be proven by science only theorized to have happened.

So that pretty much means anything is possible and no one knows how human dna got here.

Dinosaurs can simply not be proven in any way.

Ive see scholars deny many other widely accepted things for far less.
Theres not a single 100 percent complete Dinosaurs fossil in existence.

They are constantly fossils found of "unknown lifeforms". They have no idea what what attached to those fossils

The Creator didn’t want sin and all its horrendous effects spreading out into that Universe. So He put death in place to limit that problem until those who wanted to be freed from sin were perfected once again to pick up where Adam left off.
If it didn't want sin, it should have made us without sin. Now if it didn't know we would destroy each other or the planet, that's understandable.
Adam and Eve are metaphors. They were never real people.

You’re building your whole argument on category errors.
“Nothingness” isn’t an actor. It doesn’t want, decide, compete, or optimize. In physics, “nothing” means the absence of classical matter, not a conscious void making strategic choices. The early universe wasn’t a decision. It was a state governed by physical laws. No intent required.
Same issue with evolution. Evolution isn’t driven by a “desire to survive.” It has no desires. It’s just differential reproduction. Traits that replicate more tend to persist. Traits that don’t fade out. That’s it. No fear of death, no long-term planning.
You asked why Earth hasn’t evolved. It has. Continents move. Atmosphere changes. Mineral distributions shift. The planet today is nothing like it was 4 billion years ago. What it doesn’t do is reproduce with variation, so it doesn’t undergo biological evolution. Rocks don’t copy themselves. DNA does.
Reproduction isn’t caused by death either. Genes that reproduce outcompete genes that don’t. Mortality increases pressure, but reproduction is about replication being stable in a competitive environment. Even an “immortal” organism would still be vulnerable to radiation, impact events, stellar changes, etc. Nothing biological is unconditionally permanent.
And the idea that “nothingness should have made the perfect number of humans and stopped” assumes foresight and optimization. Natural processes don’t optimize globally. They iterate locally. Think erosion, not engineering.
As for Earth lasting forever, it won’t. The Sun will expand into a red giant in about 5 billion years. That’s astrophysics, not philosophy.
The core issue here is anthropomorphizing physics. Assigning motives to gravity and entropy. The universe isn’t a person. It doesn’t need reasons, intentions, or a stopping point. It runs on laws, not preferences.
There are still deep questions about why there is something rather than nothing. But the fact that ultimate metaphysics is unsettled doesn’t invalidate everything we already understand about cosmology, geology, and biology.
tl;dr:
Nothingness does not have intentions.
Evolution does not have desires.
Planets do not need reasons.
Entropy does not negotiate.
The universe is under no obligation to make intuitive sense to human storytelling instincts and its strangeness does not imply incoherence.

So no other life form that existed on earth was smart enough to record its own existence but we are and no other life form questions their existence but we do.
Its interesting to me that all of the universe have been around for billions of years but in the past couple thousand years a lifeform decided to finally get smart enough to do all of this.

We get it. You need to go full DMT.
