Planetary Evolution and the Moon's Role in Life's Origin

and having been so for the evolution of life on Earth. In addition to this, a common theme in speculations about the origin of the first self-replicating system is the importance of concentrating the weak solution of organic molecules in the primordial sea, to favor polymerization. The possible role of tidal pools, which repeatedly dry out under the sun, has been emphasized by many authors. Although the amplitude of tides raised by the Moon is not currently much larger than that of tides raised by the Sun, the Moon was probably much closer to Earth at the time of life's origin and the tides raised would have been correspondingly larger, allowing tidal pools with a much larger total surface area to be subject to wetting and drying cycles[32]. If we consider that the birth of life on Earth seems to have occurred only a few tens of millions of years after the Moon's separation from Earth, it becomes difficult not to see a causal link between the two and perhaps even a final link in the Moon's separation from Earth so that life could be born on Earth. The Purpose of Planet Earth Planet Earth has bewilderingly maintained the ecological conditions necessary to host life for billions of years[36]. It has preserved its atmosphere thanks to its magnetic field, continuously mineralized it through the action of plate tectonics, stabilized and mitigated its temperature thanks to greenhouse gases, maintained a stable percentage of oxygen for millions of years. We do not believe that the goal of terrestrial planetary evolution is biological life, but we believe that this is only an objective of terrestrial evolution. Conversely, we believe that biological life was born to help terrestrial planetary evolution. Earth only set the conditions to host biological life so that it could be helped. Biological life, in fact, allows the Earth to absorb and assimilate solar energies to a greater extent, first on a physical level, then on a vital level thanks to the help of plants, on an emotional-mental level through the help of animals and humans and, finally, even from a spiritual point of view with the formation of the noosphere[64, 66], thanks to the action of the most evolved humans capable of assimilating the solar spiritual Christic principle. We believe that Earth's purpose is to help the reabsorption of the inner solar system by the Sun. The matter that constitutes the planets of the solar system had been expelled or left behind in the phase of collapse and stellar formation to allow the solar core to trigger its own alchemical transmutation and begin its own stellar evolution. The planets left behind by the Sun will then have to be reabsorbed by it later in its evolution, but for this to happen it is necessary that the necessary ecological conditions be restored on these planets. These conditions could not be restored on Earth without external intervention, which in this case is represented by the action of biological and human life. Scientific logic explains that one day Earth will no longer be habitable. When the Sun leaves the Main Sequence and enters the Red Giant branch it will expand, re-englobing Earth. Earth's life will at that time be an internal life to the Sun, and the Humanity of that time will live a life corresponding to the period that Occult Cosmology indicates as the "Jupiter period". Biological Evolution and Consciousness Contemporary biological evolution theory is based on three fundamental pillars: the principle of common origin, that of random mutation and, obviously, the principle of natural selection. Of these three principles, the only one that requires integration for our purposes is that of random mutation. In organic evolution, the finality of an organism plays a preponderant importance in its evolution, so mutations of individual elements are not equiprobable, but are biased towards the evolutionary finality that the organism must achieve. If we want to consider organic evolution as a whole, we must consider the four different types of mutations previously introduced: finalistic, providential, natural or random and, finally, transmutation. We have already said that we do not consider biological life as the goal of planetary evolution, but rather that the goal of biological life is to help planetary evolution. A reflection in this sense is provided by the very concept of natural selection. The idea of natural selection presupposes a model of the evolving organism already implicitly inserted into the characteristics of the environment that hosts evolution. Since the host environment strongly regulates evolution, it is easy to think that biological organisms and also Man develop and evolve with the purpose of helping in its evolution.
