DHW, three posts in a row now I have EXPLICITLY stated the purpose of earlier life forms, yet you keep saying I have not answered you. Why? So, since it seems to get missed in all the clutter:-
The primary purpose for earlier life forms was the preparation of the environment for future life forms. They set up the environmental variables.-
For some basic examples of tasks that had to be completed:-


• Atmospheric Conversion

• PH Balancing

• Soil Production and Conservation

• Early Plants to Conserve soil produced above.

• Early Plants as oxygen producers

• Early reptiles help speed up atmospheric balance

• Decomposition of early animal bodies for soil enrichment

• Initiation of the Carbon Cycle

• Early Plants as Climate Modifiers


-Dinosaurs are easy to understand. As reptiles, they would have needed far less oxygen and still would have produced carbon dioxide for early fauna. This would be the catalyst for the earths early atmosphere along with the initial build up of workable soil needed to support later creatures (i.e. Mammals). Yet, due to their size and nutrient requirements, Dinosaurs would have been incompatible with the advancement of life. Further, the oxygen rich new atmosphere likely would have been toxic to the early flora and fauna. So, after they completed their purpose, they were destroyed to make way for the next step.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
