It is theoretically possible for the corona virus to completely wipe out humanity, only to continue evolving over the next billion years into multicellular life, more and more complex until it has become the next conscious advanced life form on earth. amirite?
God made everything as it is now only 8 or 10 thousand years ago. And anyone who doesn't believe that will burn in Hell forever and ever !! But He loves you !! God bless Donald Trump !! Fox news rules !! Evolution is a hoax !!
If humanity gets wiped out there are a ton of already multicellular, already relatively intelligent creatures that could take our place. It took evolution 2 billion years to get from a strand of RNA (which is what a virus basically is) to a worm, and only half a billion to get from a worm to a person, so anything more advanced than a worm already has a 2 billion year head start.
Yeah no crap genius. My point was that it's still possible it would end up being the virus in stead.
Except in 2 billion years the sun will be hotter and Earth won't be habitable anymore...
So no it really isn't possible.
I said one billion years you moron.
except viruses aren't actually alive
For a virus to evolve into an eukaryote would take a really really long time
The universe has time pal, don't you worry about that.
Well yeah but it seems more likely that something else will evolve to be intelligent before any kind of virus gets the chance to
I put my bet on the capuchin monkey and chimps.
Well I think becoming a eukaryote would almost certainly not happen or take an insane amount of time. Its not like theres a blueprint from virus to "cell". It could become something completely different.
That's exactly my point
Its more likely that we all die RIGHT NOW in this second.... ... ... ... see
