The concept of early Earth as a hellish, lifeless landscape has long been established, but recent evidence suggests this view is incorrect. Instead of remaining a barren wasteland, Earth may have allowed for the emergence of life within millions of years after its formation. There has been an observable trend of theorizing without direct evidence, leading to attachment to unfounded ideas, particularly regarding the origins of life. With the collapse of the hellscape Earth narrative, it is necessary to discard outdated preconceptions about life's beginnings.
The young Earth was not hellish, or at least not for long. Life may have formed astonishingly quickly after the planet solidified, within just millions of years.
There was never any direct evidence of lethal conditions on young Earth. Humans are prone to theorize wildly when there's no evidence, becoming attached to these speculations.
The notion of hellscape Earth persisted despite a lack of evidence, illustrating the human tendency to hold on to ideas with only tenuous support.
The collapse of the hellscape Earth idea necessitates a re-evaluation of lingering preconceptions surrounding the origins of life on our planet.
