Do you even read the posts you respond to?
What is the scientific reason life exists, or what scientific laws have "pushed" life into existence, on this one planet?
That is not a question for physicists. Psychologists, sociologists, philosophers maybe. on a scientific level, everything is as it is until further data illustrates change, then science goes about to discover what caused the change. on a biological level it would appear the reason life exists is because of procreation, how life began is speculative beyond time travel.
Sure. That's what I'm asking. There are Gigga billions of tons of rock out there.
What would cause any of this rock to change into life forms?
What would cause it to happen?
How does life benefit a planet?
If we have process of rock, matter, changing into life....how would the rock benefit?
What is the cause? What influenced rock heated by the sun, to become alive?
That's the thing, without a way of reproducing what is being theorized through an experiment there is no way of 1) knowing that it is possible today 2) knowing that it was possible when the universe may have behaved differently than today.

without reproducible evidence, it is no longer science, it is philosophy.
Your the first person I know of to suggest that when life formed
natural laws were different than today.
But I have to say...that is a good answer.
You mean, do I understand what people are saying correctly? How would I know
unless I respond to what I think they are saying?
I'm flattered.I mean: Since your post cites mine, but the content of your post has nothing to do with mine, I'm wondering whether you actually read the post you cited.
However, if, by "reason," you mean the mechanism by which it happened that life exists, there is a popular hypothesis about how such a thing could have happened. But if it happened as they think, it's unlikely to have left enough evidence to become a theory, so it will probably always remain an hypothesis.
Learn what that means.Don't troll.
To point out the many, many flaws of New Zealand, both the land mass and the people who live there.What is the scientific reason life exists, or what scientific laws have "pushed" life into existence, on this one planet?

Financial success is secondary in importance to pointing out the many, many ways New Zealand is evil and bad.That's not a well paying job, is it?
" scientifically speaking " ?
" how " something happens is a science question
" why " something happens is a matter of philosophy
Why does New Zealand not just sink back into the Pacific, taking all those mutant 3 eyed lizards and feral hobbits with it?Why does water freeze?
Why is the sun hot?
Why do planets orbit?
Why does rock get warm in the sun?
Why did life form from rock?

It is, perhaps, a defect of the English language that we do not have two ways to ask "why?" according to the type of answer we seek. This has been well illustrated by the simple question "Why is the kettle boiling?" If you are seeking an answer to "what is causing the kettle to boil?" a scientist can provide that answer in terms of it being set on a heat source which conveys energy to the molecules of the kettle and on to the water in the kettle bringing the water up to a state of boiling. But (as the title of the thread indicates) you are are seeking an answer to "for what purpose is the kettle boiling" the person who placed it on the stove can answer "to make some tea."
Science deals with cause, not purpose, so your OP asks a question which is impossible to answer. Science can (potentially) give us the chemical background and conditions which caused life to arise on earth. But it can no more tell us for what purpose, if any, it arose than it can tell us that the kettle is boiling to make tea. For that you have to go to philosophy or theology.
Then answer the post you did quote.
Why does water freeze?
Why is the sun hot?
Why do planets orbit?
Why does rock get warm in the sun?
(THESE ARE THE WARM UP QUESTIONS) Pun not intentional.
Why did life form from rock?
What caused life to form?
What properties of matter lead to life forming?
What potential in matter leads to life?
What Chemical properties suggest that life would form?
What Physical properties suggest that life should form?
What Electrical properties suggest that life should form?
What Thermal properties suggest that life should form?
Are there any scientific causes for life to form?
