[Atrocities]

It occured to me yestarday, kind out of the blue, that life evolved on this planet because of our ability to adjust and adapt our environment to fit us because of our discovery of Fire. Without this basic element, life as we know it would not be.

No keeping in mind that all things throughout the galaxy are made up of the same elements, what would happen if you lit a match on a Methane world? BOOOOOM

How about on a Hydrogen world? Big BOOOOOM

Get my point? How could life evolve on world with explosive atmospheres? We had to have fire in order to advance our understanding of chemistry, technology, and just about everything else that gave us what we have now. With fire being a basic element throughout the galaxy, one would conclude that in order to evolve, one would have to have fire.

Well, I guess this eleminates the concept of inteligant life evolving on planets that have explosive atomspheres.
