Nobody's making that assumption. It's a hypothesis.
All evidence we have is consistent with a "world being present before living beings inhabited it".
Therefore the hypothesis is not disproved, which is all science ultimately says about facts.
- sova 6y agoChirality is either an underlying property of biological life, or an epigenetic (so-to-speak) result from having a Spinning Something and then throwing Life into it. Reality itself could have a spin or orientation and therefore Biological Life would be subservient to such. In my opinion long-term adaptations have about as much pertinence to chirality as it does to magnetism. Either it turns or it doesn't, it doesn't slowly decide to over millions of years.
